This past Saturday MtnBikeRiders rounded up the troops to hit the trails at Aliso Woods. On one of the invitations that I posted on the site, Jay, Trials Rider for Evomo commented…“Wish I lived closer to you guys, I’m sure we would all have a great time. Fill us in on how it goes.” Well…

MtnBikeRiders.com will be at Aliso Woods to party it up for a “relaxed vibe” ride through some of the local trails. We’ll be starting at 7am at the back side of the park. Let us know if you’d like to join!

This evening Moe and I met up at our local trail, the Loop. We decided to do a short version due to some mechanical issues I was having on the AM2000. Forgive the blurry photo, its the darn camera…it sucks. On one of the stops I made because of the bike problems, I whipped out…

I currently ride the Woodstock 707. It’s been a great bike, but I wanted a little change with the scenery. Actually I wanted a dramatic change. So the best way to mix things up with a bike other than spending tons of cash for new parts is to paint it. But I’m not really going…

You heard right. Today’s brew is actually in the Guinness Book of World Records as the strongest beer in the world!…

One of the best ways to get on the good side of your lady is to make sure she’s taken care of. So for starters if the two of you ride together as much as Priscilla and I do, then you’ll need to learn how to work on bikes. Nothing says “I love you” than…

This was my first time racing the Mt. SAC Fat Tire Classic. I have to say it was cool having our entire group out and it really did wonders for my anxiety. I felt a lot more relaxed and worry free before the start. Moe is a damn nice guy and let me borrow his brand…
