We go back to school in less than a week, so I figured what better time to pack in the mileage. Headed north for a test camping/touring ride. Route was from Santa Monica to Leo Carillo State Park. My buddy Matt joined us at Leo Carillo State Park with the support wagon and biked with us to Oxnard. From Oxnard we headed back down to Leo Carillo State Park for some overnight camping. All in all, 120 miles over 2 days.

SAN DIEGO DAY DATE

2009-09-10T16:37:00.000-07:00

For the Labor Day weekend Matt and I decided to take a day to work on our tans... lyrca tans!

blue skies, palm trees, and surf stickers, yup socal

fuzzy legs and cycling. oui ou non?

AMERRICUH

hot air balloons, salmon colors

by the end of mile 145 we decided we deserved a real day for tans and beach loafing, so we stayed a night in Old Town SD and took a ferry the next day to Coronado Island, home to supposedly the 5th best beach in the nation! The water and sand was infinitely speckled with what looked like gold flakes. gaaaaahhh

2009-07-30T19:20:00.000-07:00

So in comparison to Zach, Ricky, Steven, Jason and Quickel riding Tokyo 2 Osaka or Crystal and Matt doing SF to LA, our little ride from LA to SD pales in comparison. Still, many miles were traversed, lots of the Southern California coastline was explored, and many sexual advances were turned down along the way. Hit the Bikely route if you are interested in emulating such awesomeness. Otherwise, enjoy this eye candy, highlights include me peeing, Pat taking a hot shower (ohh yeah) and Brian eating a banana while riding.

SF TO LA, A FEW FOTOS

2009-07-13T23:59:00.000-07:00

455miles-ish

Besides getting lost a billion times trying to get out of SC and Monterey, we followed the schedule below, hitting the road every day anywhere from 6-9am in the cold morning fog. The fog stayed with us throughout Big Sur and into Morro Bay, so we didn't get much of a view of anything, which was disappointing on a 4,600ft ele/70 mile day. After Guadalupe it was all sun, gentle and not-so-gentle rolling hills with temps into 90s. Sunburn and lyrca tan galore. We saw a lot of farmland, migrant workers, pesticide spraying, deer, cows, and dead animals. We peed everywhere, ate everything, found a hot spring, and even had a stalker who wanted a threesome. 1 flat/busted tire, a few mechanical difficulties with my improv rack, and i also flew off my bike because Matt made me ride it down a mountain bike path, but 0 serious injuries. We met lots of amazing people, including a guy in his 40s named Ian, who's biking from British Columbia to Argentina with about 80lb of gear on his bike (we were childsplay in comparison to this guy) and the this family who fed us dinner and breakfast at one of the campgrounds when we had no food. The ocean was beautiful company until we got into LA county on the 4th of July, where Zuma Beach looked all festering and gross. I think I have the touring bug.

T2O - TOUR OF L.A.

2009-06-07T18:03:00.001-07:00

Rolled out with Ziadie and Irving yesterday for one of the gnarliest rides I've ever done in LA. We started it off with a run through Pacific Palisades all the way out to PCH. Headed south from there past LAX to Manhattan Beach. We turned back north and cut through Baldwin Hills up La Brea and kept going all the way up. Up to Griffith Observatory and back down east into Silverlake then cut back across town to get to Westwood. Overall we clocked 2172 feet of vertical climb over 70 miles. All fixed. All city.

Sunset and PCH. Looks a lot nicer in the daytime.

Irving was working on a stop motion video of the whole trip...until the tripod failed bombing out of Pali. :(

We skipped 10th week drags last quarter so we decided to bring it back and do it right. Originally we were going to race early and watch Macaframa and hang out after, but Macaframa is having a little shipping problem so we scratched the viewing and just raced. Good times were had by all and no one got hurt. Very successful night thanks for coming out everyone!

Rolled out to the "Collegiate Fixie Fever" race hosted by the UCSB cycling team at Encino Velodrome today. Joseph, Angat and I held it down for the UCLA squad. Joseph won the Men's A/B and Angat and I faired pretty well in the Men's C/D for having zero experience. Let's just say I didn't get DFL so that's all that matters. Fun first day at the track...pushing 90 gear inches all day is no joke!

For those of you that don't know about Tokyo to Osaka yet here's the deal. This summer Steven, Jason, Ricky, Tom and I are going to Japan to ride from Tokyo to Osaka on track bikes and make a movie out of it. We're going to meet friends from both San Francisco and New York there...in total I think there's about 15 people going including riders and film crew. Check out the website and you can get the full scoop.

Yesterday was supposed to be our first training ride for the trip, and didn't exactly turn out as planned...Jason and I left the house bright and early a little past 9am with the intentions of meeting Steven near his house in K-Town on the way to Ricky's in downtown.

"Where the hell is Steven?"

After missing Steven at 4th and Normandie we decided to backtrack to Western and Wilshire to see if he was there. Again he was MIA so we decided to just take Wilshire all the way downtown to meet up with Ricky. About three blocks past Western I'm flagged down by a driver telling me to go back. I rolled up to Jay spitting out blood all over the sidewalk.

Jay hit a bump and his hands came off the bars. Next thing he knew he was on the ground spitting out blood. He cut his eyebrow and bit into his lip, but luckily the rest of his dome was okay. We waited for Jenn to come pick him up to go to Kaiser and Ricky showed up to wait it out with us.

After Jenn picked up Jay and headed out to the hospital Ricky and I rolled downtown to eat lunch at Eastside Market Italian Deli. I rode back from downtown slow and full in the afternoon heat while Jay waited in the ER.

After a few hours in the hospital and some stitches Jay was okay...hopefully the next "training ride" won't be another epic failure! Wear your lids and ride safe friends.

Started the ride off with a little tour around campus then into Beverly Hills via Comstock. Missed the turn off to Beverly Glen so we kept going and caught the end of The Gauntlet. Hit a little speed bump on Charleville when a Bentley decided to stop in front of Patrick and Matt. Patrick rear wheel got tacoed, but other than that everyone else was ok. The rest of the ride was pretty standard except for a miss communication turning off Sunset at Doheny that left half the crew taking Sunset all the way back (gangsterrr). See you all next week...hopefully the weather stays nice!

VCR - BIKEROWAVELAND

2009-04-02T00:17:00.000-07:00

Rolled out to VCR tonight with Mike Jones and his homie Chris. The original plan was to hit up the OG LAX route, do some laps around the terminals and get pizza in Manhattan Beach. The VCR squad made a last minute decision to roll through the Bikerowave party then on to Yogurtland on Sawtelle. The chillest VCR I've been on in a long while (that doesn't mean I wasn't busting my ass keeping up with Hern at multiple stages of the ride) and a great night. Poured out a Club for you fred_club! HOLLA.

PASADENA BIKE MARATHON

2009-03-22T09:49:00.001-07:00

Pasadena Marathon was nice and early today at 6 am. The bike portion of marathon was 26 miles and there was also 60% chance of precipitation. In spite of this, I met up a few blocks from the starting line with Topher (he goes to UCLA and he went on the SHLA17 Daily Boba ride with us) and we jumped in with the front of the pack.

First 5-8 miles of the ride were brutal. It began to rain profusely and it made it very difficult to see anything. I almost considered quitting, but decided to toughen up. After the lap around the Rose Bowl, things started to clear up and the conditions were awesome. Started to hit the wall around the 22nd mile and the final uphill stretch. Reached the finish line at approx 1hr 15min. I'm pretty sure I was the first to finish fixed and I only saw 3-4 other guys on track bikes. Got major props from a bunch of roadies.

Everything so gloomy

PEDAL SPEED

2009-03-10T00:59:00.000-07:00

Pedal Speed is a magazine out of Japan. They recently did an article on NY Joe of 13Skids. He made a thread on LAF about it and included scans of a previous issue with photographs from the Macaframa race and premier. Ricky and Hern (at least part of them and their rides) are on the title spread! Holla!

Not much else to say. Word up to Joey for rolling from DTLA and Graeme for rolling from up the street to say what up in Bulver Bity. See y'all at the Predator race!

Despite me being late, Ziadie and Al being incompetent at changing a flat, Joseph falling, Joseph getting a flat and some spontaneous route changes Monday night was a success. Sorry to anybody that did not finish with us and apologies for the sprint down Santa Monica at the end. We were determined to make In-N-Out by midnight...only to find out that they close at 1am. Regardless, Ziadie booked it from La Cienaga down Santa Monica, through the Gauntlet and to In-N-Out in 17 minutes just to make sure we could all eat. Respect.

The view from Steel House is beautiful.

Good ride tonight. Props to everyone that came out and concurred Ziadie's Chinese New Year route. Orochon ended up closing early for an employee event so we headed over to Daikokuya. Jarret was saved from imminent lava butt by about 15 minutes. Daikokuya was great as usual and our waitress was definitely laughing at us the whole time. Hope everyone had as much fun as Steven did. Until next week...
