One day late here. Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. Brrr…it’s been a cold month! Well yesterday I found myself tipping back the final holiday brew for December.

One of my favorite things to do is watch mountain biking videos. Whether it be Kranked, New World Disorder, Roam or The Collective…I just can’t get enough of them. But here’s the dilema with these videos. When I’m sitting there watching it, my adrenaline get’s pumping, and all I could do is fantasize about how…
In order to start the holiday off right, my friend and I headed up to the San Bernardino mountains to ride the Santa Ana River Trail. It’s a 30 mile trail(15 out and 15 back) that is pure singletrack except for a mile long fireroad descent at the beginning. Temperature was either freezing or really…
From all of us at MtnBikeRiders.com and BikeCommuters.com… Merry Christmas!!!!! We’re taking this time to take a breather and spend time with our families and enjoy the holiday. We hope you do the same…HOHOHO!

I have two helmets that are getting an extreme make over. They are both getting a custom paint job. But I’m not sure on which design to get. So I have one of these FreeAgent helmets. I was thinking about getting it to look like an Evel Knievel helmet…you know red white blue with stars…
So I’m walking through the local brew store and happened upon this interesting little bottle. Ya, I’m a sucker for a funny beer label. What also caught my eye was that it was a Porter. Most holiday brews tend to be ales so I was more than happy to be back with a dark beer,…
Saturday morning, the MtnBikeRiders crew were all spread out riding various trails. Jeremy was at Marshall Canyon, Lance as you’ve already seen was at Turnbull Canyon and the rest of us stayed local and hit up the Fullerton Loop. Khoa, Moe, Priscilla, and I met up with one of my buddies, Joe, who is is…
