my ride to sf
I rode my bike to san francisco a week ago. It was quite the ride. Unfortunately, I did not know how to properly go about getting there, so I rode all the way to point reyes and then to san francisco, wasting tons of time and tons of energy on hills of great magnitude.
Once I got there, I got slightly lost in the presidio, and then made my way to lake street, where I met Eden. Jake had seen me riding in the presidio, so he called me and invited me to his friend's barbeque (it was labor day). Eden and I attended this event, and it was great fun. I especially enjoyed listening to someone trying to explain linux to Eden. He was so impressed. And still has no idea what it is. It's so great that I've seen Jake twice now in under a month.
After that, Eden and I drove to divisidero to meet Brandon, who was about to attend a show there. We hung out for a ridiculously short amount of time, and then went back to Eden's apartment, also for a ridiculously short amount of time, and then went to Eden's friend's apartment, and then went to their friend's apartment, and those kids were watching RENT and I was excited but then we left and went back to Eden's friend's apartment where I talked to his friends about people from Analy because that is where they went to school.
That was a beautiful sentence there, wouldn't you agree?
Anyway. I spent the night at Eden's and had a lovely time. That morning, Brandon came over and we went to the San Francisco Zoo. Quite a lot of fun.





or meerkats?! they're so damn cute.


and very good at digging.


or brutal as fuck beasts?


that will fuck you up like they did a little bunny?


or my favourite bird?


I love the zoo. I just wish they'd had the cats out. I wanted to see my favourites, like the snow leopards.

Aw, I love the zoo.
I recently spent some time at a friend's cabin on Lummi Island. One morning, we woke up and decided to go for a bike ride. I hadn't ridden a bicycle for over a year, and generally don't get as much exercize as I probably should. Naturally, we wound up going the 10 miles around the island. Not much compared to your 80+, but it was a bit of a jolt. It felt great, though.

That sounds like it would be beautiful.
I remember when I got my bike fixed...I hadn't had a bike in 4 years, and two days after getting it fixed I rode it 30 miles hahaha. It was so great.

It was beautiful. We stopped every so often to pick blackberries and look at the ocean.

Hooray for long rides after insane periods of bike-inactivity. ♥
