Local Spots | Santa Monica

Yesterday's ride through West LA was in good company and perfect weather. In other words, nothing out of the ordinary, but I wanted to share the Gmap below to better highlight a newly discovered part of town and my favorite part of yesterday's ride. Between miles 3 and 4 on Adelaide Dr. you will find joggers, people enjoying ocean vistas and intimate views of beautiful homes scattered along rolling hills with an abundance of greenery. If you get a chance, get out there and take it in. Oh, and don't forget to bring a camera.

Oh how I miss those days...

sick fiddy

Went for a ride around West LA last night to get acquainted with the new 650 (or should I say 'sick fiddy'!?) I put on last weekend.

It was fun, highlights include...

• The volleyball courts by the pier are surprisingly alive at night and there was live music by a group comprised of 40-something year old rock'n'roll skateboarders
  

• Running into and getting reacquainted with Karen (a girl I met two weeks ago on vcr) - If you're reading this, hello again :)

• Messin' around w/ barspins (my front wheel fell into gaps between the wooden planks on the pier but all spokes are running true *sighs of relief)

• Running into the 'Taco Tuesdays' ride at the bridge in Marina Del Rey where the Ballona Creek bike path ends

• Rockin' out the whole way courtesy of these bad boys

Pictures!

New 'sick fiddy' at the pier

Drawing inspiration from the "Escape From The Camera" group on Flickr, I set a two second delay and ran for it!

Speaking of Flickr, I was stoked to see a few of my photographs getting some blogosphere love... put em' in your reader
