Vacation Ride Report: Fort Rock Trail System (Exeter NH)
A few weeks ago my family and I all jumped in our van and drove up to New England to visit family in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Since I’d only gotten my Niner EMD9 a couple weeks previously, I had to take it along. I got to ride some of the…
If It’s Too Loud You’re Too Old!
So a few months ago I heard Iron Maiden was going to be playing in Irvine August 9th and 10th. I told fellow rocker and cyclist from work about it and he said, “We’re in!” Fast forward to two weeks ago [paradox?]Â and we begin to plan…
Patches? We don’t need no stinkin’ Patches!
If you’re anything like me you are super handsome and very frugal. The cost of tubes are shockingly high, some range from $6-$10! So rather than just throwing away a tube that got a flat, I decided to buy a large patch kit. Large as in 48 patches…

Here’s what I saw and did this weekend
The first thing I did was go on a ride to Aliso Woods with Lady P, Single K and Nick D. Since I was out of shape, right after climbing up Cholla, I decided to head a different direction than the rest of the group. I went through Rockit (my favorite) and…

Apparently I’m a Hoarder
I kinda, sorta knew this because when you go into my garage I’ve got about 19-23(give or take 5) bicycles and frames as well as various parts that could easily build up a new bike for a family of 6. My garage is a tandem-2 car garage. That means…
Up to 94% off? Dang, how do they stay in business?
If you haven’t heard, Pricepoint.com is having a pretty good sale. They’ve got pretty much everything on discount. They even have tubes, 5 for $11.98. That comes out to $2.40 per tube, which is just about wholesale cost for those things if…
That’s no thorn…
On my ride yesterday, I recall running over something, then hearing a click click click sound. I pull over and by the time I come to a stop, my tire is flat. Check out what I got in my tire. The hole in my tire was about the size of a pencil. Flats suck,…
How important is air pressure in your tires?
If you ask me, it’s pretty important! One of the things I’ve learned in my many years of riding and racing is knowledge of what tire pressure works best for my style and the type of terrain I’m riding, as well as for the tire itself.…
