Lots of coffee. As usual. This is at Matching Half. They use Santa Cruz’s beans Verve. Good stuff. Bring a friend, make new ones. I love this spot.
Speaking of Santa Cruz, there is a tsunami alert due to the recent Chile earthquake. eeeeek

Okay, Okay. I know I’m way overdue to update my blogroll, which is about 1+yr old, so bare with me. Way too much fun all the time ya know?! It is lovely coming across such cool blogs and give them a little space here to show off my recent finds, why not. The blogesphere has only brought me pretty positive experiences connecting with people with many similar interests, mainly bikes. It is almost like we ride a cyber bike lane and share pics while at it. Super!
Here are some of my recent finds. Enjoy-

♥San Francisco: c.walk.ride tumblr
We came in contact thru this picture, turns out he has a tattoo, about 6 months old, related to it. I love how photos and the internet connect people. Pretty sweet.

♥Bay Area | Skip Allums
Nice photos with very well written stories that sometimes go with them.

♥Southern California: San Diego County | Vélo-flâneur
I might have mentioned this before, but Estaban’s view and also randonneurisms are super cool. he lives on the other end of the state but comes up to ride bikes and visit often to the bay area. Fellow coffee fanatic. Can’t wait to ride with you and the randonneurs soon!

Bike Nopa brings another great ride this Sunday.
Meets at my latest fave find for Verve deliciousness, Matching Half at 930AM. Ride leaves at 10AM.

This Sunday, Feb. 28th, NOPA VELO spins through the neighborhood and beyond for its second monthly bike ride for neighbors and friends. “Death by Duel” gives a nod to U.S. Senator David Broderick who gave his name to one of NOPA’s streets … and, yes, his life also to keep slavery out of California or, the less heroic version of his story, to settle a personal score with his one-time best friend, David S. Terry, California Supreme Court Justice.
