Yesterday was the Bike Barbeque Beer Ride. We had a lot of fun despite the low numbers of riders. I find it funny how a lot of people say that they would go out for the ride but only a couple of guys actually make it. From left to right: Alen, Shawn, and Randy We…

So this morning I headed out with Moe’s wife Grace for our Saturday ride. The weather was great and we were lookin for adventure! The boys made sure we brought our cameras this time so that we could share the fun with you. 😀 . So we loaded up our bikes, (ok, actually my husband…
On behalf of everyone at MtnBikeRiders.com… Happy Easter!
Something strange began occurring after I started mountain biking on a consistent basis. I was able to answer ONE of my wife’s questions. This is very strange indeed. My wife enjoys asking me “what’s the weather going to be like today/tomorrow?â€�? Before, I’d respond with a pensive look on my face before shuffling over to…
DirtRag Magazine posted an article on making your own 29er/26er. This project aims to squeeze a 29″ wheel in the space of a 26″.

We got bitten by the upgrade and decided to pimp out the Woodstock 707 with a fancy 120mm Manitou Black fork. Just a quick note, the steerer tube was previously cut to the same size as the old fork and the star nut was already installed. The current fork on the Woodstock 707 is a…
This morning was actually the first time that I got to throw a leg over the KHS Tucson. Well first of all, this bike is waay too big for me. Moe has a small Gary Fisher Cobia that I’ve ridden before which fits me just fine. The Tucson is a Medium and with my short…
