U.S. Mountain bike racer extraordinaire Pua Sawicki has a dream and is asking for the mountain bike communities help. Pua’s goal is to qualify for and race in the Olympics. The problem is that Pua needs to race the World Cup series races in Europe in order to earn enough points to qualify for a spot in the 2012 Olympics.

Finally! A break in the rains that have been swapping SoCal over the past week! Since the trails only had one day of drying time, The Path Bike Shop wisely chose Sycamore Canyon for their Sunday group ride. Sycamore Canyon tends to drain water very well and recovers rapidly from rain fall
On Sunday Jan 3rd, Tony, Kim and I from the Mtnbikeriders team along with a bunch of friends headed out to shuttle the San Juan Trail because Tony is allergic to pedaling up-hill. Not really, Tony actually wants to ride up, but I always say I’d rather shuttle it twice than ride up and down!…
This past Sunday, Tony and I decided to take advantage of The Path Bike shop’s Sunday ride. The ride location changes week to week so be sure to check The Path Blog for the current week’s ride. It’s a no-drop ride and has riders from pretty much every skill level but typically takes on at least intermediate terrain to keep the more advanced riders satisfied.
Hey Southern California Mountain bikers, my Soul Cycles Dillinger 29er Singlespeed bike was stolen from the Whittier CA area. The bike was custom built and the frame is not very common. If anyone sees it posted on CL or ebay, please email me @ [email protected].
The winter holidays came and went all too quickly for me, without enough of a break from the last race I did in November. I had dreams of an off-season three months long. The 1st race of the 2010 winter series was approaching quickly and I decided to treat this as training for the bigger races from March to May.
On Jan 10th I headed out to Fontana for one last practice run and my first DH race in the sport category. After a few mishaps in my first couple races, I managed to finish out 2009 with some success in the beginner group and decided it was time to move into sport.
Hey Trail riders, did you know that you were breaking the law in California because your bike has no seat??? Well, I have good news for you seat-less riders, starting January 1, 2010 it will be legal to ride your bike! Bicycles (SB 527, Kehoe) This new law allows a person to ride a bicycle…
I’m one of those fortunate souls with the week off from Christmas to New Year’s and decided to take advantage by getting in a ride today. I hate riding alone, but I couldn’t conjure anyone up for a ride this afternoon and I’ve also been meaning to go to The Path bike shop in Tustin for a few weeks to exchange some parts. So I decided to knock a few couple things off the to do list, loaded up the truck, ran a couple errands, headed over to the shop, and finally to play at Santiago Oaks.
Here are MtnBikeRiders.com we’ve been tasked with testing the Vholdr Contour HD 1080P camera, and though the initial impressions are awesome, the lack of a vented helmet mount left a bitter impression in the staffers minds. The goggle strap that comes with the camera is awesome, relatively secure and adjustable. The rub was, just how often does a mountain biker wear goggles? For most of us, that’s during DH shuttle runs and maybe free-riders. Here in sunny so-cal there just aren’t that many shuttle runs to explore and most of which could be ridden comfortably on a 6″ all-mountain bike.
So what does all this babbling lead to? Most mountain bikers wear XC style lids most of the time! This left us hoping for a vented helmet mount. Well, Vholdr was aware of this and was working hard behind the scenes and the wait is over!
