Family Life - Adam Starts Soccer
Today, his first game finally arrived, and the whole family was out to cheer him on. Grandmas and Grandpas, cousins, aunts, sisters and of course Jamie and I lined the field, shouting words of encouragement and sideline coaching whenever Adam got the ball.
Adam did great and his excitement was visible in his clenched up fists, straighten back, outstretched neck and gigantic smile. Just watching Adam play you could almost feel his pure excitement.
And so starts another chapter in the Castillo's lives. Soccer Mom/Dad and loading up the kids for ballet, piano and now soccer games. Funny how time flies by us, it seems like just yesterday Adam came into this world. Now he's running up and down the soccer field while mom, dad and sisters cheer him on!

Ghost Bike Documentary Trailer
Ghost Bike Documentary Trailer from Danny and Kat ZKO on Vimeo.
Ghost Bike is a 60-minute documentary motion picture about the creation of ‘Ghost Bikes’ as roadside memorials for cyclists killed by motor vehicles. The film also serves as a testimony to the lives that are affected by the conflict between motorist and cyclists to safely share the road. We are documenting members of the cycling community who volunteer to install ghost bikes anonymously at sites where cyclists were killed.

Fargo Street Annual Hill Climb Challenge
This was my third year doing the Fargo Street Hill Climb Challenge and I managed to get up the hill 37 times. 37 times was difficult but I think I had enough in me to do at least 40.
The official start time is 9 am and it goes to noon. If racers, hit 50 by noon, then the promoters will stick around and stay as long as the leader keeps going. The all time record is 101 times up Fargo Street in nine hours.
Kevin and I have a tradition of eating at Nick's Place in LA. Nick's Place is a little diner across from LA's Historical Park in DT.
Kevin wasn't able to make it up the street this time. It's one steep hill and pictures don't do it any justice.
Unigeezer was out today. This time he made it up three times. Not to shabby.
Elliptigo guy was there too. While most zig zag up Fargo Street, Ellipigo guy goes straight up.

Marathon Crash Race 2013
I've been waiting for this ride since last year's Marathon Crash Race. The early hours before the start of the LA Marathon, thousands of riders gathered at Tangs Donuts and at about 4:30 am the Crash Race begun.
The day before, racers lined up in downtown LA to pick up bib numbers. I was one of them. The line was epic. I stood in this line for three hours. Next year, I think I will just "Crash" the Marathon Crash Race.
At the registration there were 100s or 1000s of people. The line moved at a snails pace.
My first spoke card? The promoters were handing these spoke cards out with information on what to do if you crash or are injured during the race. At the race, I saw a lot of people go down. Hauling ass fixie style, large crowds, dark streets and sharp turns don't mix well.
The registration lines were epic. I only registered because racers would start ahead of the general public. Well that was all thrown out the door on race day. There was so many cyclists and we all lined up with no separation between racers and enthusiast.
Pic Above - People in front of me.
Pic Below - People behind me.
Yeah, that's a lot of people.
Well, I managed to make it to Santa Monica and then back to Tangs safely. It was a great ride/race. I can't wait for next year's race!
