LA

Well friends I have moved to LA. And it is amazing.

The city is so dense and the weather is so nice that the best minds, skills, and entertainers flock out here. I found a yoga studio that teaches inversions beyond my comprehension. The yogis are so strong I don't know how I will ever get to that level.

The coaches are abundant. I've already been solicited to join a triathlon club and obtain coaching to complete my first tri.

I've already met a flock of aspiring actors and musicians. Humble in that they hope to make it big but are conscientious of life so that they don't forget to enjoy it.

If you love people. Come here. They are so diverse in mind, body and soul because half of the people that live here are from somewhere else. They are all taking life step by step and the directions are so varied that you find a new opinion around every corner.

Anyway back to bikes. I've decided that once I find time I'm going to build my fixie.

Fix-ated

Started working in Palo Alto, CA baby! It's been about 2.5 months and I've been seriously considering getting a fixed gear. Well...because...I want one. And there's so many cyclists here it's crazy. So I haven't been as fiercely looking as when I was searching for a roadie. I mean for fixies, there's just not that many models to look at. Well in my searches I wanted to keep it cheap and reasonable. But that was totally blown out of the water when I met the Cinelli Bootleg. BAH. IT'S SO PRETTY. I wants it and now I know I won't be happy with anything else. Only problem is that it's 1k. Gr. My expensive taste is hurting my wallet...

Let's see how long it takes for me to really break down and buy the damn thing.

Atlas Ride

This past weekend friends Pattie, Kevin, Alex, Peter, Regina and I drove up to Austin for the annual Atlas ride. This year we made it on time and got to roll out with the crowd. It was a great 70 mile ride with hills and tons of sun. I was so hot at times that it was really a challenge to not decide to SAG. Anyway I'm glad I did it after it was done. =D
