sometimes good things come when you least expect it :)

Century Ride! (and Kohei)

i haven't updated in a while :(

i'm alive though!
sept 27 was the honolulu century ride
100 miles or 160km

silly spokes!

there was about .. 8 of us?
on fixed gears.
people rode past us and called us crazy :)

i didn't think i'd do it,
but i did all 100 miles!
total time was about 8 hours.
i think i could have done it faster but
we waited for a lot of people at the rest stops
about 1 hr of rest time?

wasn't tooooo sore the next day,
but then again i wasn't pushing myself that hard


but that night, kohei said he wanted to get fucked up
(he let me stay at his house in kyoto)
so i bought him some drinks

guess which one is kohei!

POORBOYxMAXDESU wut

today is the first ever

poorboyparadise
x
maxdesu

collab!

we like riding bikes :)


so the idea behind poor boy paradise
is that Seth and Sau try to eat as cheap as possible in paradise.
Sau, being the brilliant guy that he is,
decides that todays challenge is how much food you can get for
five dollars at whole foods

sau with:
i don't even know what those circle things are
+ banana

seth with:
rice, nori, yogurt
+ banana

aly and nimz with
various teas
+sanrio ice creamz

maxdesu coming in with a pound of meatloaf!

apparently the poor boys don't waste food,
so i had to eat the whole thing
x.x;;

but mainly riding

Thanks,
KFC!

not only riding!

not only did i ride bikes, but i ...

saw yosakoi!

wake boarded!

inner tubed?

hanabi taikai!

ate sushi!

did my own hanabi taikai!

and started a super secret project!

and finally, Kochi!

kochi is so dope.
met up with riders the first day i got there
k.f.c. <3

it was crazy hot

but riding with these guys was the best

Himeji!

so my bike has been packed up this whole time
like 3 days of no riding.
haven't gone that long in a while..

but we went to himeji!
pretty much the most badass castle in japan.

huge!

it was crazy hot outside, so we checked it out
and stopped in a shop for some anago don
it was suuuper good
(forgot to take pics before..)

Kobe!

okay! real day in kobe.
had to kill half of the day waiting,
but went to nanking machi,
the china town(street) of kobe.

black manapua was crazy


got pulled into a hole in the wall
chinese food shop cause it was
'ヤスクテ-オイシイ'
i think that's all she knew how to say!

but it actually was pretty cheap and delicious

and our server was really nice!

kobe jazz swing of lights!
prettyyyyy

i hadn't ridden a ferris wheel in forever!

finished our night with some medal game
someone gave us a butt load of tokens!
