Spicer Pursuit

I was going through my hard drive last night, and found pics of my old Spicer. I kinda miss it. It was a love/hate relationship, and I just had to let her go. Wishbone seat stays, triple triangle, and oversized chain stays. It was a blast to ride, but my shoulders didn't agree.

Random Friday ride

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4078697

I know, the route looks pretty retarded. But there's a story to that!

I went on a pretty random ride today. Haha, brought my bike back from San Jose yesterday, mainly to get my wheels trued. But since I rarely have my bike with me in SF, why not log in a few miles? Headed out at 8:40~ in the AM and met up with Ben at the De Young Museum for a lazy Friday ride.

We didn't have a route in mind, so we decided to check our Bernal Heights Park. I mean, I've lived in San Francisco my whole life but am never in that area. I've always seen the hill overlooking the east/south-east side of the city but didn't even know how to get there. But yeah, Bernal Heights is alright. It's like a Twin Peaks in the ghetto, overlooking the nicer part of the ghetto. Haha! Oh, and the last hill climbing up to the base of the Park on Folsom street was STEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Cock succc

After Bernal Heights, we were planning to swing by Ritual Coffee to see if Marc was working (Oh, and I randomly saw Benny Gold walking his dog on Valencia. FRENCH BULLDOG). I mean, we were already in the Mission area so why not? Peeped inside and didn't see Marc so we just ended up getting Starbucks on 9th and Irving. Sat down, had coffee, chit chatted about a bunch of random shit, then made our way down Irving. Ben had to run a few errands, so he cut out at 18th ave and I just grabbed some popcorn chicken at Teaway. Ate my popcorn chicken, and it was still pretty early in the day (around 11am-12pm~). Didn't have anything else planned for the rest of the day, so I decided to make my way over to SportsBasement to get a quote on getting my wheels trued.

Looked around SportsBasement for a while, and since I was in the Presidio, why not cross the bridge? Crossed the bridge and contemplated people watching in Sausalito, but just went up Conzelman instead. I remember my roommate Clifford saying that they opened up most of it, and I was curious to see how far up I can go before getting kicked off. Climbed up Conzelman, checked out the view, then made my way home.

Oh, and I passed by the De Young Museum 4 or 5 times today. Stooopid!

And I thought I had a hard time finding bikes my size..

Took a glance at this picture, looked at the headtube, realized that the wheels are 700c, and said "TALL ASS NIGGA!!" out loud.

WE ARE X

So I went to my first concert last night. X-Japan at Oakland's Fox theater. To sum it all up, it was a ridiculous/crazy/amazing night. I think the pictures will describe my night (I didn't bing my camera but two friends took some pretty damn good pics). Getting there early was a huge plus, an we ended up somewhere in the 5th row in the center. I'll update with a more detailed post when I'm off my itouch, but it was certainly a night I won't forget.

Edit: a few pics from Jieun's camera. Just to give you an idea of how close we actually got.
