On July 5th I headed up to Downieville to camp and ride with Dirty and friends for a few days. Since moving to the bay area several years ago Dirty and The Dr. have spent the weekend after the 4th of July riding around Downieville. I joined them for the first time last year. The…
It’s coming! Ride Report from trip up north earlier this month. As the sign promises, a good time was had by all.

Last weekend Team Racer Wes Castro and I participated on our first Night Downhill Race. SRC had a “test” night race last year and it was well received. Since Fontana can get really hot during the summer months, a night race series was created. Wes and I arrived at the venue a bit early, I…
