Being a father of 2 and not being a spring chicken, racing downhill with protection is paramount for me. The good folks from EVS Sports sent us the RC-EVO neck protector to race with. I put it on last night to see how it would fit around my neck. The RC-EVO is an XL, it…
Hi everyone, it’s official – Sunday May 23rd we’ll be hosting (with the gracious help of The Path Bike Shop) a group ride and BBQ. Funds raised will be going to help out Mtnbikerider Wes Castro as he recovers from a shattered hip. So far the progress has been good with Wes making significant strides in the past few weeks.
After 6 long months of rehab, I’m finally back racing Downhill. For those of you that don’t know, I suffered a torn shoulder labrum sometime last year during a practice run. I had to go under surgery and repair my back in October (Click here for the video of the surgery, warning, not for those…
Beautiful weather in Southern California. This Saturday was my second ride on the trails since I went under surgery to repair my left shoulder. The weather was nice and the trail was really green. This is something that I really missed from mountain biking. Chino is no picnic, and fortunately I’ve been riding the stationary…
As soon as it was announced that The Path Bike Shop group ride would be hitting Turnbull Canyon in Whittier, Tony and I were stoked. Located in Whittier, CA Turnbull Canyon is Tony and Kim’s home trail and serves as our Tuesday after-work ride. So to say we’re familiar with the trail would be an understatement.

This past Sunday, Tony and I joined the crew from The Path Bike Shop on their group ride. With all the recent rains in Southern California, I’ve learned a lot about picking trails that don’t turn into mud fests.

This past Sunday, Kim, Tony, Steve, Josh and myself met up at Aliso and Woods Canyon Wilderness park to ride what I consider one of the best Orange County All-Mountain rides. We set out from the lower lot at 9am to pedal up Meadows to Top of the World park, descended Telonics, crossed Laguna Canyon Road to pedal up Willow Canyon Road, Descend T&A, cross Laguna Canyon Road again, ascend (walk mostly for me!) Stair steps and finally descend Rock-It to head back out to the car.
