LAST MINUTE TOURING

4 days, 3 nights, approximately 280 miles due to some impromptu exploration. Absolutely bootyful. Enjoyed going along the coast, seeing a lot of roadkill and getting the hell out of LA for a few days.

Every Direction Is North

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.

TAIWAN TRIP

YO! Just got back from Taipei, Taiwan and had a sick time out there. Anyways, I checked out this fixed gear shop over here and met Burner, who runs the shop Swirly Whirly. Burner is all about building classy bikes, but sells a bunch of dope stuff over there. Here are some pics.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!! COME SHRED THE GNAR!

I expect to see all of you, my little steel ponies, at my race this sunday! Since this is somewhat local I expect UCLA to represent and take the podium. There will be a custom "Santa Monica Alley Cat" jersey for the winner. If you don't wanna race that's fine. Come hang out with me at the park. I hope to see you all your beautiful faces sunday.

SAN DIEGO DAY DATE

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

and pizza
