THIS IS JORGE

48 Miles

Yesterday I rode 48 miles which took me from Santa Monica to Trancas and back.

I definitely struggled on the first leg of the ride. There came points when I would just count to two over and over — 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 — so I could continue to pedal and not stop.

My toughest ride yet.

ps: this blog is officially a bike blog.

Hopes and Wishes

I really wish I owned these gloves.

but…

1. They’re $160.00.
2. They’re sold out.

So even if I paid the $160 for them, I can’t have them.

Imagine All the People Living Life in Peace

Imagining all the people living life in peace wasn’t too hard to do watching these beautiful ladies perform at the Ben & Jerry’s party.

via Craigslist:

Your name was Luenell. You used to be married to Borat.

You took my breath away in the skies when you asked me if I was a paparazzi.

I said “no, baby. Salvadoran Vogue.”

You captured my heart and I know that we’d make beautiful babies together.

Here is a picture of us when we shared our magical moment.

I’d like to get to know you.

Your Papi,

Jorge
