Ryan organized a North Face ride which started from Valley Fair mall to Los Gatos and back. It wasn’t heavily advertised, so only a small number of riders came out.

That didn’t stop us from getting a quick little ride in just before sunset. When we got back to the store, we had a box and a half of lukewarm pizza waiting for us. North Face really takes care of you.

I know I always say this, but it is worth reiterating. I love love love free swag. Not only did we get free North Face water bottles, but there was water inside of them too…haha no they gave us gift cards! Everyone received a $25 giftcard except for me. I won the raffle and got a $50 card! Suc!!!!

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but rest assured it will be put to good use. Here’s the group after all of the freebie shenanigans. Thanks Ryan!

The morning after. (earlier in the week)

Went to Sacramento on Saturday to pick up Melissa’s new itty bitty bike. Rushed back to Lake Vasona to catch the tailend of a good impromptu overcast day bbq.


I did a little photo walk around the immediate area where I lived. I love living downtown, because everything is just right there. My place isn’t the biggest, or the greatest, but it is enough for me and my simple lifestyle. And you can’t beat the location, location, location.




Last night a few of us did a brisk ride to Los Gatos during a break in the rain. There is nothing like a cold breeze on your face while mashing down Winchester Blvd.


Truly an inspiration. To think just fifty years ago that there were water fountains designated for certain races. Now we have a black president. WOW. Just wow.
Started the day off by riding out to Los Gatos, to pick up my cousins for the Warriors game since they had an extra ticket. Used my uncle’s car to carpool to the Oracle Arena. There must be something about 2009, because when we went to the game they actually won. When the cheerleaders come out on the floor though, everybody wins.


Can you believe that a couple of pizzas, nachos and a gatorade was $34?

Later in the evening Sarah and Pavel, being the gracious hosts that they are, held a little shindig at their pad. Rolled up to Pavel grilling up some dogs/burgers and veggies that were T-N-E-L-U-C-C-U-S. Reference to Cranium, which we later played. Everybody was eating and laughing, singing karaoke and playing board games.




Not all was fun and games though. During his state of drunken rage, Alex called me out to a race up and down Communication Hill. I was taken back, but I knew I was up for a challenge, because he had consistently been beating me up hills as of late. I accepted. The stakes:
If I win: 3 bike washes/tuneups from Alex.
If Alex wins: A roundtrip via Caltrain to San Francisco paid by me.
Tim came up with this awesome flyer.
