Step 1 of taking a bicycle 120 miles out of San Francisco without a car: ride to BART station (the subway in the Bay Area ).

@pagrus yeah and you get into even more local traffic there as Santa Cruz to Monterey and vice versa is a common commute but everyone doesn’t by car also coz the options are so poor

I got rained on this morning so it’s getting extremely cold. My bike is on the bike rack and I’m getting hangry

SpookJ 👻

@skinnylatte was this trip a test-run, then?

Adrianna Tan

@SnoopJ I’m going to use the shuttle. Just did this for fun and to transport my bike

@skinnylatte ahh, you're stashing it there for work use?

Edit: I've just scrolled back on your feed and found the post where you say so. Nice!

52 min later, we arrive in Monterey. It’s the last stop. The transit center is pretty well located and you can walk or bike to many hotels from here (unless you’ve opted for a fancy hotel closer to the water / aquarium). There’s a grocery store and some decent restaurants. I’m going to check out a very traditional and cheap Japanese restaurant that’s been here forever.

This is giving me life. Ocean Sushi Deli in Monterey. High quality and homely food. Reminds me of my Japanese friend’s house when I would go get fed by her parents. Hehe I’m so glad I have this spot

@skinnylatte yum!

@skinnylatte Wow. Kerning got me... I really really thought that said horney, not homey.

I spent far longer than I should admit wondering how food could be horny, and why you would make such an obvious spelling mistake.

I should get some sleep or something... looks yummy though!

Adrianna Tan

@m some food can be….

Samantha

@skinnylatte yesss there's a place near me that's the same type of home style Japanese food and it's so comforting.

Adrianna Tan

I made it! Almost 12 full hours to go 100 miles haha

Sleep awaits, and then I’ll have a full day of work and meetings tomorrow (and this entire week)! Everyone is flying in from everywhere for a major organization milestone

@skinnylatte How did you manage to make the red markup look good too?? It fits in the whole photo so well.

@boby_biq heh just scribbling

At 6:45am, I rode off toward the water. I’m not familiar with this town yet but the water always tells me I’m headed towards work. I stop by a historic building by the water that has cheery art that says ‘the Spanish conquest through conversion’.

The message feels grimmer than the art.

The air around here still smells like anchovies.
