Coffee Bean Surfboard Bag.

Had a great time making this board bag for Stephen Gellas an amazing Italian chef in Suffolk Va. He needed a cover for his Tyler Warren Bar of Soap. The Coffee bean bag came from Handlebars Roasters in Santa Barbara and the bag was from Aida Batlle from El Salvador  One of the few female coffee farmers in the business and her beans are used in barista competitions.

Linus lights!

I put a new lighting system on my bike. Shimano front hub generator, Busch and Muller headlight and tail light. It works really well. Both lights are plenty bright and saves on batteries by generating your own power. I found the parts at Peter White Cycles.

Bike Racks in SF

Here is a really great bike rack idea in front of Four Barrel Coffee Roasters in the Mission District in San Francisco. Not only is the coffee great but they are bike friendly too.http://fourbarrelcoffee.com/

French Baguette

I had to take a month off work after my ulnar nerve transpostion surgery and picked bread baking during my recovery. This a baguette recipe I have been wanting to try. It's a Americas Test Kitchen recipe that took two days for the sponge and rising. It came out really well and was delicious with homemede butter and jam.

New board. New bike.

I have been on a bicycle kick lately and picked up this sweet Linus Sportster 3 speed from The Wheelhouse before they closed ( really bummed about that). And also a new Hoyte california spud twynzer fynzer that Russ re-made for me. ( 6'6" 21.7  2.7 roundtail). Both are awesome rides.

Handelbar Coffee Roasters

We have a new coffee house in town. Handlebar Roasters owned by Aaron and Kim who are ex-professional cyclist and both competed in the Tour de France. They have awesome coffee and everything is setup very European which has attracted both cyclist doing group rides and motorcyclist including my Vespa mechanic Bobby and his Moto Guzzi.

Surfboard Maintenance

Had to do a little surfboard maintenance for the up coming winter season. Re-wax of the boards and a new True Ames fin setup for the Hoyte longboard.
