Yup another hard day’s work for this mountain biker. Today I HAD to go ride the Fezzari Alta Peak to see how the Purple Extreme Chain Lube is holding up on the drive train. So I figured that I’ll take some pictures of my adventure. Sheep! The local high school apparently has some sort of…
Priscilla and I have an affinity for night riding. We got at least once a week and always have a great time. This week I wanted to mix it up a bit. So I brought out my Ibex Alpine with the Xtracycle attached. Xtracycle with my neon light, just for kicks. Using the Ibex/Xtracycle got…
A few weeks ago a few friends from church and I headed up to our friend’s cabin for a weekend retreat. I took along the KMX X Class with me to have a little fun. So check this out, there were 6 grown men ages range from 29-42 that took turns riding the X Class…

When people hop on any bike I ride, I always get the same question: Why are your brake levers setup at a downward angle? This setup is even more pronounced now that I have the Ergon grips installed on my X-Caliber. My buddy Jake, who hopped on it this morning, found the positioning a little…
Remember that posting where I mentioned the things I hate? Well, I’ve become one….No I’m not dog poop! But I’m the guy that was late this morning. Jeremy and I typically go riding every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Last night I even went to bed earlier than normal just to make sure I can get…
The other day I had the privilege to meet up with Mark Malatesta of Hoss Technical Gear. I met Mark a while ago on a ride at the Fullerton Loop. As you will see in the pictures, Mark is this super tall guy and has been known to ride Epic’s…for fun! On the day we…
