RL, Priscilla, Grace (my wife) and I got together for a pre-mother’s day ride at the Fullerton Loop. Today was a day full of ‘firsts’. Today was the first time I’ve ever ridden off-road with my wife. Usually one stays behind with the kids. The girls slept over Grandma’s house so it was the perfect…
image from: www.doperssuck.com Man, I’m glad I’m just a recreational rider. If you’ve been following professional cycling, it is in a sad state of affairs. Landis and USADA trading jabs, Basso’s confession to ‘attempted’ doping and Ullrich’s retirement (geez, I wonder why he retired). My guess is that the pressure to perform lead these riders…
Yesterday I had the chance to take the KHS XC204 on the Fullerton Loop. Man, I was blown away! Although I’m not a fan of the SRAM stuff, the SX5 and the X7 derailleurs switched gears with fast precision. The front and rear suspension worked great, I need to tweak the RockShox Dart 2 fork,…

We found a drawback with the Sette Sierra 2 Bike hitch mount rack, notice on the lower right hand side of the picture how the exhaust is pointing to the wheel of the bike. The exhaust of Jeremy’s Honda Pilot caused the wheel to overheat potentionally damaging the bike. Well, my Nissan Frontier just happens…
I finally got a chance to hit the dirt trails last Thursday Night with RL and Priscilla. I got to ride with the Azonic Surround Sound Helmet. I plugged in my NON-IPOD MP3 player and we hit the trails. The sound quality is sort of like an FM radio, the volume can be loud enough…
