Boyz On The Hoods Fauxvet 1.0 Ride

[Manuel Acosta]

I might be pretty bias when it comes to these things because I'm lucky enough to know/ride with these guys but...

These hoodlums did a mixed terrain ride that included but was not limited to dirt,hills, Nike silos, rain, puddles and wait for it.....
RAIN-freaking RAINBOWS!

The ride report and pictures here.

Thanks for posting this Manny! We had a great time but were definitely missing you on the ride. I'd like to think Nathan borrowed his puddle move from you during the ride.

Stay tuned for upcoming dates for the #fauxvet 2.0 and 3.0!

Manny,

Thanks for sharing this ride report...the images are super and it makes me yearn for the years I lived in San Francisco sort of. Though I enjoyed living there I feel on some level I didn't maximize my time there. I don't think I'd live in the "City" again, preferring Marin if money wasn't an object or maybe the East Bay.  His Prologue was a bit confusing...I get the 'Blade Runner" reference and the rain...even though  the movie is set in of all places Los Angeles. But Irving doesn't elaborate exactly what his internal conflict is? When I lived there the "City" seemed to offer all inclusion but I feel that is now an illusion. Reality is that it's one of the most expensive cities to live in probably just behind NYC. I could go on about inequality but nuff said on that subject.

On a positive note I love the blog Irving does a great job with it. I plan on following it now more regularly.

Thanks for the comments Hugh. I kind of had a frazzled week before the ride so I knew my ride report was already going to be a stretch to comprehend. In my draft post, I began to elaborate on my inner conflicts about living in the city but it just made the post longer and NOT about bike riding. In short, I get bummed about living in such an expensive city, I miss my friends and family in LA (back to BLADE RUNNER, haha) and I have my own doubts about where I'll be career and life wise years from now... but then on a ride like this past weekend's, when I meet a bunch of new people who share the same appreciation of rad bike rides, I can't help but think it's all worth it.

Irving,

I figured that's where you were coming from. I think it's okay to share personal thoughts on a blog it just depends if your okay with that being a focus within the context of your blog. Some of my favorite blogs share off bicycling topics. In the end go with what feels right.
