Crazy, Crazy Bike Ride

I know I'm going back a couple of days, but bear with me. This is one to read.
Okay, so I wake up at around 12PM and, because I missed the showing of The Dark Knight on Friday, I decided to bike around to the theater about 8 miles away, uphill both ways, and, though not through the snow, through sheets of heat. It would have been fine, or at least I thought it would have been a little shorter, if one of my friends, Caitlin, decided to join me. Mistake number one: don't join an endurance bike ride if you haven't biked in forever. She wasn't doing too bad, but understand; I biked 6 miles to San Pedro and 6 miles back to Wilmington back home almost everyday during the summer vacation and have legs of steel (Huh!). So we ended up walking about the half the way up this GIGANTIC hill and then finally reached the top of it.
Unfortunately my bike decided to eat a nail on the way down to the theater, killing my back tire and momentum. Luckily the theater is next to Target, so I walked about another 30 minutes, making the journey about 3-4 hours now, and locked my bike up outside. I went in, bought two repair kits, and a flashlight for the ride home. I patched it up and tried pumping up the tire with my hand pump, only to find out that either a) I just sucked at pumping up tires or b) there was another hole in the tire. So, to solve this I went down to Home Depot, also nearby, and asked one of the guys to fill up the tire with a compressor. We found out there was another hole, which pissed me off to no end. I went back to Target, bought another tire tube as well as the Princess Bride, put it into my tire, went back to Home Depot and got the tire filled up, and was finally on my way to the theaters once more.
By this time it was about 7PM and by the time we got there and struggled with one of the crappy bike locks we missed the 6 o'clock showing, leaving us to get tickets for the final showing of the day, 9:10PM. The guy offered to let us into that showing, which we should have taken up, but we ended up going to a local buffet, The Golden Corral, and eating some dinner. After biking through hell and back, and then being dragged back down only to fight our way back up, we finally watched the Dark Knight (AWESOME!) and got out of the theaters at 12AM. We still had this insane bike ride in the dark, 8 miles of lonely riding.
When we started leaving the theater we were being hounded by a lonely car without it's headlights on. We gave them plenty of room to get by us and still they tried running us down. After getting really annoyed and confronting said car, we found out that the car was just a bunch of our buddies who had come to pick us up. Unfortunately they forgot about the bikes, so Caitlin switched places with Konrad, another of the guys up in the dorms, and the two guys biked home in about 40 minutes. The best part was going back down that insane hill. We didn't even have to pedal. The road was completely empty. We were just two roaming lights on the dark going about 40 mph downhill. That was awesome, just going without a care in the world (except for falling), the wind whipping everything around and everything surrounding us silent as a ghost.
For as long and dangerous as that was, that was the greatest part of my weekend, besides the sleeping. Continuity will begin again next time
