Bombshell 2008

Sam was awesome enough to organize the 2nd annual Bombshell Alley Cat Race in Oakland last weekend and it was lots of fun!




I suck and I did not even finish the race. I got separated from my team and they had the map and I couldn't find the rose garden. Then I got this insane cramp in my butt and decided to just ride down hill to my house to play with my new iphone. :)
But NEXT year.. I'm all over it.(and I went out and bought my own maps so I'll never be lost again, lol)
But it was fun to see all the girls dressed up with their bikes.
This kind of thing makes me happy.

safety first

OH and..
on the bike ride last week I think everyone had a helmet.

awesome!

Kelley cont.

Got a couple more awesome injury pics from Kels.
Hahaha.. so glad we can laugh about it now.
Wait, I'm pretty sure we were laughing the whole time.

healed up nicely

remember vicky, with the gauze beard?
well, here she is all healed up:


sweet.





and here's a few bikes from last week's FWoD ride to the ports:

*le sigh*

I haven't been riding my bike much lately, which probably explains why I've been in such a shitty mood.
(exercise is my drug and without it, I get cranky, lol).
So here is an old bruise.
I like it because it's perfectly round.
It's my favorite.

I did ride my bike last night, and I somehow managed to lose my light.
Not cool.
That light was perfect.
And now it's gone.
Damn it.

PA custom/fabricated sidecar bike

I've seen this guy and his dogs twice since I started working in Palo Alto.
He has this awesome custy bike with a SideCar for his English Bull Dog and this huge Great Dane run/walks along side them.
It is sooooo freakin' awesome!

Courtney!

Courtney and the bike:

Courtney and the crash:

I love this pic!
It fully embodies the spirit of this blog.
We are glad Courtney is OK and still smiling.
I’m inspired by her spirit and I hope that we get to ride together again soon!
<3

man..

I bet you'll get sick of seeing pics of my bike

Victoria aka Vicki aka Vickster!

Before I even knew Vicki I was stalking her bike

Cause just look how cool it is!

^^And Vicki is every bit as cool as her bike!
She is super creative.
And she is awesome at making things:



And she makes really cute bike hats too.

And now you can buy her super cute hats online. So go check em out!!
Vicki is OG FWoD crew .
And a little over a year ago on a FWoD ride, Vicki *swerving around jokingly* crashed and the girls got to take a trip to the emergency room.
Check out her stitches:

and her subsequent gauze beard that she got to rock for a few days afterwards:

We are glad that Vicki healed up nicely.
And her FWoD emergency room visit will be memorialized in FWoD trivia for many a potluck to come.

Halloweeeen!!

I was my bike for Halloween.

We started Ghost Ride, but got a massive blow out in the cemetery so..
that was that.
But we did get to play around in the cemetery for a bit.



I also took some pics of my left over bruises from my last crash where I sprained my wrist. ouch!



Hope everybody had a successful Halloween :)
