I WANT TO SG A B.

I hopped on a bus on Wednesday afternoon. Arrived in Richmond, Va at 10 o'clock. Shared some beers and called it a night. Slept until 1:30 in the afternoon with Riot at my feet woke up and met Ross. Went to Strange Matter for a good burger and some beers. Bought tickets to a show there that night. Headed home had some iced coffee, discussed the trip amongst other things and continued drinking. Went to the show saw some really great bands My Disco and Young Widows. Got really drunk, considered dying my hair blonde, didn't, rode home and fell asleep. Knowing we had a 60 mile bike ride ahead of us that evening we wanted to get a good meal in. We went to a place called Millies which was awesome, probably one of my favorite spots in Richmond. Great food, cool place really really good. Everyone got together around 330, around 4 we left. At first i was fine, not to much weight on the bike i felt comfortable. About 20 miles into the ride the fact that i didn't eat enough bananas came into play. My legs have never been so cramped. I felt pathetic at times but i was sure i could do it. After stopping a few times eating fruit and hydrating i felt a little better. Finding a random spot on the side of the road to camp was sketchy at first. After about 30 feet we found the best possible thing you can accidentally stumble upon. We had our own little private beach to ourselves it couldn't have been better. Coverage from the road (which on the weekends becomes a bike path?) flat ground to set up tents and plenty of wood for a fire. It was perfect. Knowing I was cramping up on the way there i decided to eat plenty of bananas and drink plenty of water before we headed back. The ride back was great. No cramps no problems. I could appreciate the ride a lot more on the way back. Two perfect days of riding. When we got back we all hopped in the Sexy Crimes van and went straight to The Golden Corral. Had a huge dinner and was in an intense food coma. Got some beers and called it. Woke up at 4 in the am and hit the road. Got back to New York around 12. Good times with good friends.
