My Rol wheels came and they’re great.
I tried to pull a century the other day and I actually did but my Garmin and my iPhone went out. Still it was great to ride with Ride For Black Lives. I enjoyed the camaraderie and the thrill of cycling in a group. The free chai, water and Gatorade were great. Ron Holden is really holding it down.
I feel vindicated after having my old Litespeed stolen. I was determined to rebuild because I had come so far and made so many sacrifices, like we all have, to have my slice of happiness. So many people are pulling together to support each other in these difficult times. Cycling is one of those things that brings a lot of us together from various differences. I really enjoy it. Los Angeles and the surrounding cities are a lot closer and connected than most of us think.
It’s good to be back home in Los Angeles. I like what I’m doing but I miss my family and I feel like moving back to Japan. I’ll see where everything goes. In the meantime I’m promoting my book and working on more writing. Grad school is tough but I’m riding the wave or climbing the mountain.
Hopefully I can connect with some other cyclists. So far, so good. I takes time. I’m patient in the meantime I have to survive and move forward.
