Sycamore Canyon Ride Report
Months of racing every other week can take a toll on a person. After seeing Joe’s Sycamore Canyon video, we set up a relaxed vibe ride last Saturday. One of the things we wanted to do was ride the trail on single speed bikes. I checked with our…
Whose Afraid of the Big Bad New Trail?
Afraid of the new trail? I noticed it the first time I did a shuttle ride. Normally I’m all about the XC trails: flowy, some tech, uphills, downhills, singletrack for miles. But the shuttle ride was decidedly not XC. It was definitely more AM-ish so…
Singletrack… Sycamore Canyon
Earlier this week, I headed out to Sycamore Canyon in Riverside, CA. Through the years I’ve heard so many great things about this place. With my trusty Garmin 305, I downloaded the route off www.geoladders.com. Below is the link for those that are…
David has been deflowered
Team Rider David Sanderson lost a Super Bowl bet to Tony Finch. Basically if Tony’s team won the game, then David would have to race DH at Fontana. Fast forward to Valentine’s Day. Moe, David and I set out for the race venue, Southridge in…
Shimano Winter Series #3: RL’s DH Report
To put it plain and simple, it was wet and slippery. The whole weekend was pretty much soaked. During our practice runs it was a down pour. You could see the water stream through the rocks and single track. Fun fun fun! As my category lined up, 200 Club,…

The Moe’s Race Report: SR Winter Series #2
Under the threat of rain, most of TeamMtnBikeRiders.com gathered under a couple of ez-ups and got ready to race. Saturday was my turn to be Señor Team Manager since RL was out on a retreat, that meant I had to be the photographer and race support. As…
The Moe’s race report part 2
After my lovely wife cleaned my battle wounds, I quickly suited up to do my first ever Downhill practice. Joe, RL and I took the shuttle to the top and waited for our turn to ride. I was really nervous because I’d seen a few riders really eat it on…
Ride Report: Whiting Ranch for a Bday Ride
Tim Scissors & I were able to get out for 2 laps at Whiting Ranch this past Saturday. It was a birthday ride but the birthday boy was a little shy so no pictures of the group. Tim Scissors salutes the beautiful ride, great weather and fun trail…
Southridge Winter Series #1: RL’s DH Race Report
After Saturday’s XC and Super D races, Moe, Kim, Tony, Joe and I did some DH practice to get some feel of what the course will be for the race. After a few sessions up on the mountain, we called it a day. Sunday morning came and the 5 of us went up…
