I was always amazed by Team Racer, David Sanderson’s level of fitness. When he rides his bike, its like his legs have small engines in them. I’ve never seen the guy tired or worn out from a ride or race and guess what. He actually trains for racing! Last year, I didn’t bother training at…
Last night Priscilla and I sat down and scheduled our races for the next few months. We wanted to make sure that our races don’t conflict with family plans, church events and kid stuff. Luckily Kim Finch gave us a list of mountain biking races and events for 2010. With that in hand we were…
We received the e thirteen LG1+ chain guide as a test sample a few months back and I’ve been testing it ever since. This was mounted onto my Sette Venom. This bike is primarily used as my DH bike and has seen racing action at Fontana and Mammoth Mountain. Specs: PRODUCT DETAILS Includes the enhanced…
Never leave home without your kids again, my daughter is in Love with her newest Trail A Bike. I say “newest” because it replaces her standard non suspension single speed Trail A Bike (pictured below). A lucky find on Craigslist was this Mint condition Adams Trail A Bike-Shocker, it has a five speed coupled with…
For the past few years, we’ve been hosting an annual New Year’s Day Ride at the Fullerton Loop. We usually keep the pace at a very mild and easy tone in which we’ve dubbed it a “relaxed vibe.” We keep it mellow to be sensitive to the party goers from the night before. Earlier this…
Hey Trail riders, did you know that you were breaking the law in California because your bike has no seat??? Well, I have good news for you seat-less riders, starting January 1, 2010 it will be legal to ride your bike! Bicycles (SB 527, Kehoe) This new law allows a person to ride a bicycle…
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.
Here are MtnBikeRiders.com we’ve been tasked with testing the Vholdr Contour HD 1080P camera, and though the initial impressions are awesome, the lack of a vented helmet mount left a bitter impression in the staffers minds. The goggle strap that comes with the camera is awesome, relatively secure and adjustable. The rub was, just how often does a mountain biker wear goggles? For most of us, that’s during DH shuttle runs and maybe free-riders. Here in sunny so-cal there just aren’t that many shuttle runs to explore and most of which could be ridden comfortably on a 6″ all-mountain bike.
So what does all this babbling lead to? Most mountain bikers wear XC style lids most of the time! This left us hoping for a vented helmet mount. Well, Vholdr was aware of this and was working hard behind the scenes and the wait is over!
The last few months have been very hectic for me. I’ve had minimal time on my bikes as well as not being able to contribute to this site. With the time change and tons of work, it has been a real challenge to get out and ride. Last Saturday December 19th, I treated myself to…
From all of us at MtnBikeRiders.com and the Race Team, Merry Christmas!
