Singletrack this morning, before going OTB I went Over The Bars (OTB) today. Not much fun. You’d think that after breaking a finger having gone OTB that I’d learn not to brace myself for my fall, but you can’t teach this old dog new tricks. It was a great ride up until that point. I…

As RL mentioned in a previous post, 7 of us made it out to San Juan to ride the bottom half of San Juan Trail. This trail is my cup of tea. The climbing was not fun but it paid off with a nice singletrack descent that had some technical elements in it including lots…
Saturday I took an early morning ride down to the beach with my dogs in tow(in a trailer) so my legs were out of juice the next day. I was aching to throw a leg over the 29er anyway but woke up at 5am and it was raining lightly. Half an hour later it stopped so I…
Finally. This project has taxed my patience with several hiccups along the way but it’s finally done. The only thing I’m not digging is the Sette XLR bar/stem combo. The feel is very flexy but that’s okay, I’ve got a replacement on the way. These are 2.3 WTB Exiwolfs and the Bandersnatch has plenty of…
I’m returning to my higher volume lower psi days on the rigid 29er. With no upcoming races to train for and just fun riding on the horizon I’ve decided to go with increased comfort and grip at the expense of more weight, more rolling resistance and more noise. For the last few months, the 29er…
eXotic Carbon rigid fork Today was a beautiful morning to put in some mountain biking time on the recently installed eXotic carbon 29er fork. I went to my nearby trail while it was still dark and put in a slow paced 8 miles. Carbon weave… oh so pretty It’s funny because my body seemed to…

Starting & Finishing Line Bright, beautiful day 70+ degree day. Oh how I love Southern California in the winter. I raced in the Beginner Clydesdale category and let’s just say I made a newbie mistake at the end that cost me 2nd place. After getting off to a slower start, I quickly found my groove…
I’ve owned two 29er bikes and so far, I have not really bought the whole “29er inches is overall better” idea. However, I can say that there is one noticeable advantage on owning a hardtail 29er versus owning a hardtail 26er: comfort. KHS Team Alite I posted before that I’m pretty much new to riding…
