So, this was like, a week ago… Kind of going off the top of my head about the experience. Overall, I thought Richmond was a cool place. As always, the East Coast seems to have a tendency to be hot and humid, and Virginia was no exception. I didn’t land until almost midnight. The hotel […]

A couple days ago, I sold my camera equipment. The Canon T2i, strobes, etc. are all gone. I only had it for about 2 months, so I think that characterizes me as rather indecisive. I first got back into photography and bought all the gear, in the first place, to pick up a dropped hobby. […]

I went on a ride this afternoon with my neighbor. When we started out, we didn’t really have any general direction, but ultimately ended up in Livermore. Our first route went through Niles Canyon, parts of Palomares, back to Niles Canyon, Foothill road, into Pleasanton, through some Vineyards in Livermore, up and down 84, a […]

I found out a buddy of mine passed away this morning in a car accident. He was a cool and good person, very easy to get along with. His passion was definitely with driving, he had a few Miatas and was insanely quick around Calaveras road. I remember getting a couple rides from him last […]

Woke up this morning and went to Coyote Hills again. It was windy yesterday night, and consistently throughout today as well. Met a fair amount of headwind riding there, but that meant the other direction was super easy. I did a loop around the back again, then decided to find something new. There was another […]

The other day, I went on another ride to Coyote Hills. Very cool trail that goes around the back of a hill, and gives you a full view of the bay. I got there around 10am so it wasn’t too populated, but those stupid ground squirrels were everywhere. One jumped out of a bush within […]

I’ve been searching feverishly for a while now for a suitable middle-weight bike, and especially so since I sold the Ducati. A lot of searches yielded results that were either sold already, or too high in price. I think I was too tight with my budget because I wanted a deal. I’ve been looking for […]

Today, I went over to a local bike shop and picked up a pair of Specilized BG-Comp gloves. Then I went over to REI and got some water bottles and some new insoles. The Sidi’s insoles might as well be made out of printer paper, because they feel horrible. The new insoles made a huge […]

This post isn’t going to be very interesting, because to be honest, New Jersey isn’t all that interesting. While they call it the “Garden State”, and it is admittedly green, there’s nothing particularly aesthetic. Right now, New Jersey is really hot and humid. As soon as I stepped out the airport, I could feel the […]

I rolled with a buddy over to Coyote Point in San Mateo for some car event called “Hella Flush” 5 or 6 or whatever it’s at now. I don’t go to many car things nowadays because they’re all the same. Drive to a parking lot, walk around and look at cars – and that’s usually […]

As I arrived home today, I was greeted to a few packages waiting to be opened. I love that feeling. Some parts to get the Tarmac ridable came in, including a SRAM Force Cassette: Look Keo2 Max Pedals: And last but definitely not least, a new Reynolds Strike wheelset: I really had to splurge to […]

Let’s see… where to start. I should probably mention that I sold my Ducati 848. By now, it probably seems like I have a disorder on a medical level since I go through things rather quickly. As spontaneous as the sale of the Ducati was, it, along with everything else I go through and change, […]
