Sick Day
Feel worse than yesterday but I got the most out of my day. Stayed home but got a LOT of studying done. Only time I went out was to pick up my brother from school and while waiting this mexican lady walks by with her cart. I quickly yelled "do you have corn?!!!" and she nods. Without hesitation I run across the street and bought one!
I havent eaten corn like this in years. Definitely made me nostalgic. Brought me back to my elementary/middle school/early high school years. When kids actually played outside. When we would sit outside someone's house to wait or skateboard/bike/walk around the neighborhood to go look for the ice cream truck. Then get our sweets and chill at a nearby school or park.
Those were the good ol' days.

Nothing too exciting today. Woke up feeling sick or getting sick. Still decided to ride my bike/bart to Berkeley. Made some money selling a seatpost. Dude was pretty cool and he has a sick hella beat up colnago road bike. Wish I could have taken a picture of it. Maybe next time since he offered to show me around the Berkeley hills. Then had my 3 hour class at Kaplan.
Highlight of my day was this tri-tip sandwich. This time it came with a free mango smoothie!
Im slowly feeling better but my nose wont stop running. Hopefully Ill feel better tomorrow. I wanna get some riding in.

Cinco De Mayo
Last night was spent at BJ's and bowling afterwards to celebrate Ruel's birthday. Bowling was a lot of fun but I did horrible. I ended losing the bet and having to do 40 push ups. All fun and games though.

Then this morning I woke up early (for me anyways) to go on a ride with my friend Tommy. We did the Palomares Loop from Hayward->Pleasanton->Dublin->back home. 51 miles total for the day and you can see the route that we took here.
Riding on the road bike isnt as challenging as riding fixed but it has its pros. I get to bomb down hills as fast as I want with the confidence that I have brakes just in case I need to stop. Hit 45mph down one of the hills and 43+ on another. Definitely a fun ride.
After quick nap, my good friend Chris picked me up to go drunken bowling. Havent seen him in a while so it was good hanging out and catching up. I was doing horrible (again) in the beginning and the more I drank the better I got. Then on the very last game we played I ended up bowling a 227! My highest score ever. My previous best was a 225 and we both made it home safe. Definitely a good night.

Sunday Ride
This is basically a reblog of a blog post. Stole ALL of the pictures form Justin.
But basically I joined some of the Fremont guys on a ride out to Milpitas. Pretty good group of people. Everyone kept a good pace and there were no falls or flats. Lots of messing around and the last leg of the ride was fassst!
Fun ride! <-- (thats what she said...)

New Bike Day
But this one's got brakes! Time for me to climb some mountains.
Ive actually had this bike for a week now. But I spent the last week replacing parts and setting it up/tuning it just the way I want it. The result? I am definitely happy, especially for the price that I got it for. Such a steal. Special thanks go to white boy Justin for finding me the craigslist listing and Kenji/Area Cycles for letting me use his tools/shop and for hooking it up big time! I owe you guys!
But other than the new bike Ive been running into a lot of bad luck lately. My car died last night heading from work. Got home and found that I got a flat on my bike. Ebay seller sent me the wrong pedals. My hands seem to get cut/hurt everyday. I am running realllyyyy low on money. Hit my head real hard last night as I was about to go to sleep. Been stuck working while the weather outside is hella beautiful. and dont even get me started on how much studying I have yet to do. But Im not taking it that bad, I know that everything will eventually balance itself out so Ill stick it out with the bad for now, I cant wait till all the good luck starts rolling in.
Well, sorry about the rant. Enough of that and enjoy these pictures.
