Short Friday Ride

So I was off to a easy 15 mile bike before sundown. Unfortunately I had to go back home in the middle of my trip because I had to do some stuff for the GF. O well...i think I will find a 25 mile bike journey tomorrow.

I sold my Centurion that I picked up last weekend. I decided I will stick with my Bianchi for now until I pick up a modernized bike.

I also checked out Cambria bike shop (Cambria Bike in Santa Rosa) It is a 30min bike ride from my place. A LOT of high end stuff. I found my dream bike:
Bianchi Via NIRONE7 Carbon Tiagra

I picked that because it is obtainable if I had a job. $900 at my LBS.

Off to garage sales this weekend!

Wednesday's ride

First bike ride to Santa Rosa. Well... I did not really make it all the way to downtown. I wanted to bike to the local bike shops in the area. So i checked out Cambria Outfitters and REI. I caught the best tailwind going north on Santa Rosa Avenue. I was just flying! Made it back to SSU and regained my breath by the pond.

So today was great day that ended in disaster. So my GF, Anna, her friend, Dre, and I went to Bodega Bay for the afternoon. We had to hike to my favorite beach, Pinnacle Gulch.

I got there, the waves never showed up. I guess the best time is late summer like the rest of NorCal. So I just hung out and played around with the small waves.

Also found a CRAB!

So at the end of the afternoon, I feel a tingling sensation on my toe. This is not the first time it happened. So I feel my body getting warmer. And BOOM...hives. I am not sure why I get them, but they pop out outta nowhere if I hurt my "bad" toe. We had to double time back to my apartment because I did not have my meds. It was my life and death situation for the week.

Monday's ride

So I was supposed to bike to walmart to buy a bike tire compressor. I biked there after escorting Anna to SSU. I locked up my bike, took the compressor from the shelf, and went to the checkout. When I was about to pull out my wallet, I realized I didn't have it. Great...just great......

Another Addition

I drove around Vallejo looking for garage sales. I stumbled upon this beauty. I picked it up after some extensive bargaining.

Vallejo Loop #1

I decided to take a longer bike trip around Vallejo. I first made my way to Mare Island. I just did not want to bike there and back. So whenever I come home from RP to Vallejo, I always pass the big bridge on Hwy 37. So I decided to bike over it and around the north side of Vallejo. I did not encounter any crazy drivers, thank god! I just think people drive a little wreckless around that area. I only encountered one hill which was going up the bridge. I need more of a challenge with hills.

TAX DAY!!!

I sealed up my tax documents and decided to take a routine trip down the street to the PO. I decided that since I did not have anything else to do that morning, I would just bike someplace far. So off I went to drop off my taxes in Benicia. I have made the trip a couple times on my BMX bike in high school. I think using a road bike is MUCH easier. The only problem I has was the Benicia Rd. hill near SPSV. That is always a killer. After that, it is just a coast going west on Benicia Rd.
