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…

Some of the staff of MtnBikeRiders.com and friends tore it up yesterday at the 1st of the Team Big Bear races for 08. Jeremy rocked it on the big wheels and placed 3rd in his division! I also took home a shiny new medal for 3rd place in my division – with a flat tire…
This Fullerton Loop we have is 12 miles. The great thing about it is has a lot of obstacles and hills that are great to teach beginners the ropes. My wife and I rolled out yesterday and covered 3 or 4 miles for her second mountain ride ever. We both had our helmets this time…
This morning we went on a ride with a few friends, Arnie and Art. Moe showed up looking all slim since he’s been dropping some weight. But unfortunately Art and Moe did the extended version of the ride which meant I didn’t get pictures of them. So what I do have is a pretty scene…
RL, Priscilla, Moe and myself hooked up this Saturday to explore some new trails out at Turnbull Canyon. It’s started out pretty chilly but warmed up about 30 minutes into the ride. I was ridiculed for my excessive cold weather setup from the start. Hey, I’m a slim jim…scrawny + cold = misery. Freezing Spring…
JJ rocking the downhill doubletrack I decided to get in a longer ride this weekend so a few of us went out to ride Marshall Canyon. Marshall Canyon is located in the foothills about 30 minutes north of where I live. It is a beautiful out and back that is basically a climb to the…
As Moe wrote earlier we headed out to Turnbull Canyon this weekend to get in some miles on our bikes. It was beautiful this weekend, it would have been a shame to waste it! Here is a shot of the beautiful LA smog. Mmmhhhmm. Nothing like it! One thing I appreciate about California is you…
RL pointing to Downtown LA This ride report is a day late, but it the days have been so beautiful in L.A. that it would be shameful to be spending them inside in front of a Computer. Khoa, climbing up to the tank. Anyhow, RL, Priscilla, Khoa and I headed to Turnbull Canyon for a…
Well for one, it’s pushing me to go beyond my limits…which in turn has and still causes me to throw up. On our weekly night ride, Moe, Priscilla and I hit the local trail to get some miles in. In previous weeks I couldn’t clear some of the hills, but this evening, I cleared some…
My riding buddy and I were supposed to meet at 6am to go mountain biking this morning. I dragged my carcass out of bed and made it to our proposed meeting spot at the designated time but my buddy didn’t show. Normally this would suck big time but today it didn’t bother me at all.…
