We are finally on our way back from Woodward West, Joe and I had a great time racing this venue. Woodward West’s track is non-technical, but it does have its challenges. It was nice to see our Teammate Wes make it to the venue, we were able to hear him cheering us on during our…

I was eating lunch and I get a text for RL; Hey dude are you going to do that ride? I respond “that ride???” [Ergon – Troupe racing CO – Crank Brother MTB Ride]. Completely unaware that a special ride was planned to start at Crank Brothers in Laguna Beach, RL and I exchange a…
This picture was taken by my buddy Carl last Wednesday on the Santiago Truck Trail [SST]. I go riding to stay in shape and hit the Reset button, why do you go riding? You can leave a response below or tell me in person at my Weekly Wednesday Whiting ride. We are skipping Whiting tomorrow…
On Sunday I rode the first part of the Vision Quest an Endurance Cross Country Mountain Bike Race, { link for course} . The preride was a 25 mile loop up Blackstar canyon, to Main Divide, and down Motorway, {link for preride} I was almost knocked off my bike at Beeks Place by the crazy…
On Saturday morning, David, Priscilla and I went out for a leisure 14 mile ride through Chino Hills State Park. This place is absolutely fantastic in the winter/spring-ish time since the hills are a pretty color of green. Makes me want to sing…”the hills are alive!!!” Anyhow, this day was somewhat special for us. The…
With three children under 5 years old it has become exponentially more difficult to get out of the house for rides. Over the three day Valentine’s Day/Chinese New Year’s three day weekend, I was able to get out for about 40 miles which is quite a bit for me. The weekend started when my office…
Last weekend some of my teammates (David, Kim and Tony) and I headed to the Santiago Oaks for some fun. We were joined by our friends Dan, Albert and Joshua. Following the heavy rains earlier in the week, we waited until the weekend to give the trails a chance to dry. Unfortunately some areas at…
This past Sunday, Tony and I decided to take advantage of The Path Bike shop’s Sunday ride. The ride location changes week to week so be sure to check The Path Blog for the current week’s ride. It’s a no-drop ride and has riders from pretty much every skill level but typically takes on at least intermediate terrain to keep the more advanced riders satisfied.
Last Saturday, we met up with Joe,Cons, Gabe “Dr. Thunda”, AV Dan along with The Animal and Lil’ Animal. We started at the lower parking lot of Aliso Woods. To reach the top of a trail called Cholla, we had to ride 2 miles on the main fire rode before ascending another 7-11 mins of…
I’m one of those fortunate souls with the week off from Christmas to New Year’s and decided to take advantage by getting in a ride today. I hate riding alone, but I couldn’t conjure anyone up for a ride this afternoon and I’ve also been meaning to go to The Path bike shop in Tustin for a few weeks to exchange some parts. So I decided to knock a few couple things off the to do list, loaded up the truck, ran a couple errands, headed over to the shop, and finally to play at Santiago Oaks.
