My shoulder is still messed up from my accident, but I’ve been getting back on the bike this week and getting some good rides in at Percy Warner Park. It has definitely become my favorite place for road rides. There is a 1 mile, 6 mile, 9 mile, and 11 mile loop. I haven’t done the nine mile, but the rest make for great rides. It’s perfect on really hot days too; I swear the temperature drops 10 degrees once you get in there. I wouldn’t suggest doing the longer ones fixed though; I’ve done it before and it was pretty miserable (it is a lot of climbing with up to 20% grades). If you’re looking for a good ride and want to climb some hills, I would definitely check it out. I typically ride out from the Hillsboro Village area, which makes the total route anywhere from 30 to 50 miles.

Natural Child, Jeff the Brotherhood, and So Jazzy played at The End last Friday. The show was awesome! More photos can be found here.

I’m really excited to announce that I’m riding for Velocity now and just placed my order for my new Velocity Chukkers today. I’ve ridden both Velocity deep V’s and B43′s, and they’re definitely a product and company I feel I can really stand behind. I just want to thank Velocity for being so great and giving me this opportunity! With that said, since I’m getting some new rims, I figured I’d go a head and give a little review of my Velocity B43s.

My good friend Nathan’s band, Tesla Rossa, was back in town and played a show at 12th and Porter Saturday night. Here are a few pictures from the night, they came out a little crazy.

LA Brakeless is throwing a three day event mid-July. Keith and I will definitely be making it out to this. Can’t wait! More info and full event schedule can be found here.

My friends Wayne, Tyler, and Charlie from Murfreesboro made a nice little edit. Check it out! Great work, guys! Via Wayne’s Vimeo.

Kind of a late update, but this is basically the current state of my teeth post that stupid wreck. Since I nearly knocked some of my teeth out I had to get braces to “re-stabilize” them. They’re only on for another month, but this is still sucking. Can’t wait to get them off and actually get my teeth fixed. And yes, I look 12; just the other day the lady at the movie theater asked my boyfriend if he needed a child’s ticket for me.
