6/29 – Day Off
A rest day! I spent the morning leafing through a beautiful interior design book. Like a kid, I love oversized books with big pictures. Also, I can see how her tasteful, comfortable, and beautifully curated home is reflected in her book. I have a latent love for interior (and...
6/28 – Touring With Gudetama
Another day at work… We blanketed the tourist spots on the branded Vespas, which I thought was an excellent way to see LA. I wouldn’t have gone to those spots on my own, since I don’t like to deal with the tourists and crowds. I’d probably still be in...
6/27 – Dinner Outdoors with Tigra
Long work day today, but I’m scootin’ for money! Tigra and I walked to a vegan place, Sage, for dinner to go. The evenings are so pleasant here, we took advantage of Vivian’s farmer-size porch table and dined by tea light outside....
6/26 – Sunset over Vivian’s House
381 miles. A long-time Chinese extended family friend, Vivian, generously shared her home with my colleague and I while she’s in Italy. She has a truly beautiful space....
6/25 – James and Tai Li
92 miles. Hello to Jim, Margaret, Tai Li and Quin Lin again! Shortly after landing in California again, Pete set me up with his spare helmet and brand new white 300 GTS Super (only 470 miles on it…but not for long). I’m headed down the coast! It’s so weird,...
I’m still around! I just hopped a plane to California
Apologies for slow updates; I’m still alive! Just like last year around this time, rally season began and I’ve fallen behind. Not only that, but I have an exciting paying gig…in LA! Slagheap Cycles is giving my home a temporary home in Pittsburgh, and I’ve hopped a plane to...
6/24 – Best Airport Shuttle Evar!
Thank you to Slagheap Cycles, for giving my home a home while I’m away in California for a work thing! And thanks to Eileen for putting us in contact! Jack was my shuttle to the airport for my flight to San Francisco. And Pete was there to pick me...
6/23 – Pittsburgh Foodie Friends
I didn’t know this but PA is actually pretty chill with the gun control, so Matt and I looked up a firing range. We shot several papers full of holes, huzzah. In the evening, we met up with Eileen and Kellen for drinks and dinner and at Pusadee’s Garden. The...
6/22 – Enjoying Matt’s Rental Cage
Matt rented a car! We ran errands, watched Jurassic World (pah ha ha), and worked at a coffee shop (okay, Matt read a book patiently while I caught up on blog stuff). Back when Matt still lived in Providence, our first road trip was to Pittsburgh. I have fond...
6/21 – Classy in Carnegie
78 miles. I’m feeling a little worn out, my gear is trashed, and I have this nagging, unplaced sense of shame. Yup, sounds like a successful Bandcamp! The sticky mud did its best to keep us all, but it was time to part ways. Myke stopped by to say...
