cruisin'!!!

so we own more than 10 bikes between us. jason, dave's friend comes to town and what do we do? we rent 3 bikes, and cruise up and down the santa monica - venice strand. we ditched the pup at daycare for the day, which only left us with about 4 hours including drive time. we had an absolute awesome day!!!

dave named his bike (far right) the purple panther.this isn't the best view of it, but it was bright purple. he's not very creative. jason had the middle one, appropriately named his orange crush. mine was the black stallion, complete with the basket on the front. we rode for probably an hour and a half to two, and then decided to hit the water.

the day was amazing. the weather was perfect. it was pretty windy, but it kept us a cool 75 degrees or so. the bastard fucking ocean claimed yet another set of my eye jewelry. my fav pair of specialized sunglasses took their last swim when a wave caught me off guard. i'm a little rusty in my wave timing evidently.

and jason leading the train

this one pic says it all. in this look, you can see the day we had. i can't believe we've lived here for 2.5 years and we're just now doing this!!!

and ps - we're hooking jason up with eve next time. his exact words after seeing her pic: "you had me at blonde athlete, sign me up." he may be a hairy bastard, but he's the sweetest/funniest/manly hairy bastard you'll ever met. consider yourself warned evey!!!
