New Bike – Day 2

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Went to the grocery store and loaded up. No problems on the way there or on the way back, though the bike was real heavy and tougher to control on the way back. I also cut my finger unleashing the bungee cord with the S hook that was holding on the panniers. That thing is tight and snaps back fast if you don’t have a good grip on it.

On the way to the store I took little detour and cruised along the coastline for a bit looking at the fog overtaking San Francisco. Better weather is definitely a perk of being in Alameda versus the city. I might also point out that it’s 101 in Dallas right now versus sunny and 65 in Alameda. I do not miss the Texas summer.

With all that said, I like the bike and enjoyed taking the bike out rather than the car.

As of now it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve driven the car. Let’s see how long I can go.

If you know me, you know that I LOVE pizza. I’ve really enjoyed New York Pizza. You can read my review on Yelp.

I can’t believe I’ve finally made the move.

Welcome to California

I’ve always enjoyed my visits to Northern California and all the friends that I have met there. Now I’m going to get to see what it’s like to live there.

Dallas to Alameda

My Dad and I, along with my dog Gretta, spent 3 days and 2 nights driving from Dallas to Alameda. It was a nice drive with lots to see, including a brief trip down Route 66.

I’m looking forward to this next stage in my life. Though, I’ll miss Texas.
