So that everyone knows where I’m coming from, I’d like to clarify that my name is Jeremy and I am a 29er fanatic. As I mentioned in a previous post, I went to North Carolina a couple of weeks ago and I got to do some mountain biking. To show you that us riders here…

I had a mechanical today on my morning ride. Boo. I was doing pretty well for being so slovenly the last month or so. Right at about the mid point of my ride, I was riding the Redline Mono 9, my chain dropped. This occurred as I was screaming down a wicked downhill while riding…
RL and I hit the Fullerton early today. This was my first ride on the KHS Alite Team. Although I’m not much of a hardtail bike rider, I built this bike for XC racing purposes. Being used to riding the KHS AM2000, I thought that the transition from a 6″ travel bike to a hardtail…
I just got back from a family vacation in North Carolina. Thankfully my wife has recognized my obsession with mountain biking and set some time aside where she would take care of the kids (along with the help of some family) so I could go out and get in some riding. The places I rode…
Saturday morning the group met up at Santiago Oaks for a challenging but short ride. The Oaks makes you climb three considerably steep hills before it pays you back with some entertaining downhills. RL didn’t care for the first ascent so he tried flapping his wings to pass up the next two. We had a…
The leaves are falling now and the wind chill has risen. It’s that time of year when the sun sets a lot earlier, and it won’t be long before we’re heading home in the dark around 5pm here in California. And we all know what that means! Night riding! If you aren not accustomed to…
Priscilla and I headed out for our weekly ride at the Loop. Man ever since she started riding the Motobecane Fly Pro she’s way faster. She was already fast, but on that machine, being 23lbs…she’s like a rocket on wheels! This was my view most of the ride, she’s got incredible speed and that’s why…
This weekend we headed out to Afton Canyon in the Mojave Desert with some friends that own a few dirt bikes, quads and stuff. We made the trek to the desert and found a camp ground in the middle of nowhere. On Saturday the guys headed out on dirt bikes and quads. Since it has…
Since we’ve got a couple more pictures from the Demo Day, I’m going to do a quick recap. I was talking with my friend and he was thinking out loud that an ideal day mountain biking day would include riding really nice bikes that were all maintained, set up for you and everything worked perfectly.…
After the downpour Friday night I thought our day would be cancelled. Luckily Jeremy called to drag my lazy self out of bed. We arrived, half-asleep but I was eager to test any bike I could get my greedy little hands on. Lots of bike companies were out, including Yeti, Turner, Foes, KHS, and Iron Horse.…
