long ride in marin today

yesterday, i took my fixie out that i usually only ride to school on, but i went out around 11 after i opened all my presents and rode with a friend from my house to fort mason and we did skids and trackstands and make a slalom course you has to skid around to complete. it was fun and windy as hell down by the buildings and the train tracks. we decided to race around the piers, but the roads were so dam bad and it was too windy, so we just did trackstanding competitions. i did one a little under 30 seconds long, pretty sweet. then on friday, i rode with my mom and 2 of her friends on a long ride in marin. we went over the bridge, tourist side sucks, and went down into sausalito, on the bike trail, up highway 1, up panoramic, up pantoll, and up summit to the top. took us about 1h 30 to get to the top, then we were planning on riding bolinas-fairfax into fairfax, but the sheriff said it was closed for patchwork, so we did the 7 sisters in reverse and down bofax to highway 1. we rode highway 1 into stinson beach and then we climbed up panoramic to pantoll and then down to the bike trail, through sausalito where about 10 fire trucks and police cars were blocking the road with their lights on. i didn't see a fire, but we got past and up to the bridge, which was by god, so fucking bad on the tourist side. it sucked no matter how much i swore at the tourists who don't understand english except for "fuck". went to emporio rulli to see the pastry chef and get some pastries and hot chocolate. then i came home and started my homework, blah. finished my italian essay and started the french outline and all i have to do is finish the french essay then i'll be done with my homework. i'll be gone next week so this will be the last report until i get back from the desert with a detailed week of fun
