My last ride of the year was at Santiago Oaks: Chutes + 3 B’s on the Redline Mono 9. Last week we installed a chainring I had on the Mono 9 so I could ride again. Of course the day after we did the install the chainring + bolts arrived from Redline. I’ll be picking…

I’m a looser. I loose things. I’d lost my camera for a week and finally found it. Hence the reason for this post-filled Tuesday. On with the show. With race season fast approaching I headed out to Carbon Canyon with my buddy Ryan for a “racing vibe” ride. 🙂 I first rode this trail with…
Since we had a day off to celebrate 2008, we decided to organize a group ride with some of our best riding buddies. Scott and Jen Finch of RPM Cyclery, along with their two sons, Alex and Evan drove all the way out from Temecula, Ca to hit the Fullerton Loop. We were also graced…
As you may remember, we’ve been to Aliso Woods in more than a few occasions. What can I say, we love this trail! This week, MtnBikeRiders.com was a bit short handed due to the holidays, but that didn’t stop us from organizing a ride with some new friends. Joe and Robert, our newest riding buddies…
Nirve Night Owl I was up in Nor Cal for Christmas this past weekend so I decided to bring the Nirve Night Owl for some pavement pounding or what I’d consider cross training. I got out at 7am in 30 degree weather with some wind… not the most pleasant conditions for a Southern California guy…
In order to start the holiday off right, my friend and I headed up to the San Bernardino mountains to ride the Santa Ana River Trail. It’s a 30 mile trail(15 out and 15 back) that is pure singletrack except for a mile long fireroad descent at the beginning. Temperature was either freezing or really…
Before I answer this question, a little background on my weekend’s ride: Redline Mono 9 enjoying the sun and dirt. Look at the paint sparkle. This ride started out harmlessly enough. It was a nice climb up Marshall Canyon for some fun singletrack at the top of the canyon. Along the way we went through…
Saturday morning, the MtnBikeRiders crew were all spread out riding various trails. Jeremy was at Marshall Canyon, Lance as you’ve already seen was at Turnbull Canyon and the rest of us stayed local and hit up the Fullerton Loop. Khoa, Moe, Priscilla, and I met up with one of my buddies, Joe, who is is…
After planning a road ride with my riding buddy, we opted to go for a mountain ride instead. Come one now, how do you pass up a fun mountain ride for the road? I just couldn’t do it. After watching my friend Ryan install the derailleur cables on my wife’s bike I was able to…
I’m heading out to a new trail this Saturday for some early morning riding and I am stoked. For me, riding a new trail is always a fun experience but sometimes the anticipation of riding something new is just as fun. Riding a familiar trail has its perks. It’s always nice to know where you’re…
