These weekend we finally got a break from the cold and actually had a bit of warmer weather so I reached for something a little lighter. Unibroue is a Canadian brewery founded in the early 1990s. They mainly brew Belgian style beers but have some interesting alternatives to offer. Looks like a Hef…but no Ephemere…
On Sunday I had the opportunity to ride with the guys from Jax Bicycles of Fullerton. We rode the Fullerton Loop since its down the street from me and the shop. I ended up having to cut out early. The guys put in about 11.5-12 miles. I got in around 8 miles. Gerard and Nathan…

Picked up the helmet this weekend and was pleasantly surprised with the finished product. The entire project was done by Jeremy Grayson of AirbrushOC. I basically told him I wanted a World War II themed helmet with a pinup and a chainring somewhere on there. I grew up with this guy and it’s been amazing…
I recruited my buddy Scott Tauzin (Mr. T.) to help show our readers how to execute a sweet bunny hop. Mr. T. was a former BMX racer and all around good guy. He’s got some skills and I figured I’d let him share his knowledge with you…don’t cha feel special! Not like a short yellow…
