November 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

6 days from today Jake and I will embark on a 800k journey from charming E. Costa Mesa to SF. As you can imagine im ridiculously excited! So excited that I spent 5 hours straight making a bike bag/travel banner last night specifically for this trip. I am very pleased with how it turned out. (I’ve broken it down step by step at the end of the post in case someone else wants to make one!)

when i saw it i knew instantly that it would be my new cycling helmet
