You know what's cool about San Diego?

Adam's Ave Bike shop on a Friday night. That's what.

I headed out of work on a Friday to meet a most frustrating and soul-robbing commute. I could feel the life being sucked out of me. My beloved Audi (yes, I do have a car and I do love it), and KPBS barely kept me from loosing my mind as I exited at Adams Ave off the 805 and I headed to Adam's Ave bike shop to go hunt down some parts for the FFF (Fat tire Fetish Fixie).

I think I knew things were looking up when I got the coveted Rock-star parking: a parking spot RIGHT in front of where you are going. That's right, I was parked pretty much right in front the of the front door.

I walked in and saw at least 6 people I knew in the shop. People who were just hanging out and tossing back a few brews, shooting the shit about bikes, racing and racers.

Andrew (owner of Adam's Ave) helped me find some parts for the FFF and offered me a beer.

I'm telling you, that beer was tasty and magically, all the parts (used and new) became all of a sudden shiny and new!

It was a good night. I went home and started to work on the FFF and made some pretty good progress.
I'm hoping that I can get it done this weekend. Wish me luck.
