Last week I hosted a contest where you the reader had to guess what part of my body this photo was taken from… As gross as it may look, it really isn’t. Well I guess it depends on how you look at it. But its basically my chin from this photo…. The only person that…

Originally myself, Moe and Lance were going to head out to Santiago Oaks to check out the demo bikes from Pivot Cycles. But it didn’t work out since Lance and I had to be somewhere by a certain time. So Moe and I decided to ride our favorite trail, the Fullerton Loop. We were both…
