Mint Chocolate Christmas (MC^2) Is Done!

Finally finished my fixie late last night with the help of Jon, Rey, and Bri :) Pictures are pending. I'll take some soon and post them. (Actually I'm kinda just waiting for Rey to post them. kekez) After, we went on a night ride to the airport and then back. I really miss riding at night with a group of people. There were no cars on the road and we got back around 2:30am. It was really nice. My cooch was hurting while I was riding! I had my mustache handlebars flipped down so I was leaning WAY too far forward. Basically I was in the sprint position the whole time. And my back was killing me.

This morning Jon, Garrett, and I went on a morning ride to meet my parents at a local coffee shop and Safeway. We flipped my bars up and it felt so much more comfortable. Then we continued to ride around Bay Farm down the shoreline. It was such a nice ride and great weather! I can't wait to ride again.

Minty Christmas (Mini) Bike

Bought some ish for my bike after Jon came down with my rear tire thanks to Ray :) When I first saw the rear tire, I thought MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP!! YUMMMMM. So Jon+I went to City Grounds in Costa Mesa and had the headset put in, fork chopped, bought a stem, and assembled my front wheel. Let me tell you, DAMN IT'S EXPENSIVE TO MAKE A BIKE!!! But I am super excited to ride it. I can't wait. I really do miss riding with friends. When I'm back up north, LET'S RIDE!!!!!!!

**please excuse my messy room**

Jon's Bday Ride & Apple Pan

For Jon's quarter century birthday, he wanted to ride bikes in LA and eat Apple Pan. We were going to hop on trains, the seven of us, but the train didn't fit that many bikes so off we drove to Union Station. We rode our bikes primarily down Pico Blvd, up and down its hills until we finally reached Apple Pan 12.5 miles later. It felt so good to reach our destination because most of us hadn't eaten anything prior to the ride. Ate delicious burgers and rode back to Union Station. It was such a fun day :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON! :)
