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! Cervelo conversion. *facepalm* Zipp disk. Proper Pista Concept. Joseph. Men's A/B. Forget street cred...track cred! Fail. !!!!! Chain fail. Great bike/build otherwise though. FLICKR.
4am. At the start...Vermont and Exposition. Just past the finishline. 730am. Winnars. Ricky. "Hey, look at those fixie kids go!" Hahaha. Ricky looks good in the morning light at USC. Steven...not so much. T2O LA squad...minus Tom and Jay. New toys... LA Marathon cyclocross. McDonald's. A little early morning East LA. Choppers and crackheads. FLICKR
This is what you miss out on when you sleep on a party invite from Old Uncle Tom. Epic home brewed evening my friends. I've never been in the chemistry department before...pretty much never been inside a building on that side of campus. This shit looks like some Star Wars space age shit. Every ten feet there is a digital clock and a station to wash yourself if you get smashed by deadly chemicals...gnarly. Tom's container of choice. Grillin. Whips. Poured one out for Nic. Love at first site. Tom's chemistry harem. Ritchie. "Hey did someone put vodka in my beer???" Thank you and good night. FLICKR
