I've been up in Santa Cruz for the past few days, riding trails. I took the train up to Salinas. You can see my blue bag and that box with my bike. Brian and Kelly picked me up there in Salinas and gave me a ride to SC, so I bought them dinner! I've been staying at a friend's place downtown. We've been shutting a trail by bus and ending up in Felton where we take another back to SC. We did a little filming, but I want to get some photos. We both were not woken up by our alarms this morning to leave at 6am. Hopefully we do tomorrow and I come back with some good shots.

My face doesn't look so messed up anymore. It was fun to look at someone, then turn my head to show the other side... haha. A few days after the picture in the last post, a lot of the scabs came off when I shaved because they were so thin. The only deeper part was higher up and is pretty much healed now.

I did that in my driveway on my bmx bike. I also messed up my shooting/typing/braking finger. It's pretty swollen. Hopefully it's good for the race at woodward this weekend... My fullface helmet over my scabs will be cool...

Angel Fire got screwed up for me. I found someone to go with and never got a call back about what time we would leave... even after calling a bunch of times. Maybe I can make the 12hr dh, whenever it happens.
