Idyllwild Mountain Biking Day 1
We arrived at Idyllwild late last night. Ah there’s nothing like driving a compact car through curvy mountainous roads. Friday night was a full moon and it sure was pretty too see the mountains glowing. I had to pull over and get a shot. Dumb…
Now its our turn…
Last week Jeremy, Khoa and Tim Scissors went up to Big Bear to do some riding. But this weekend its our turn. Priscilla and I are heading up to Idyllwild for a weekend getaway and part of our mini-vacation is to ride Hurkey Creek. They used to host the…

Speaking of the Strength of Carbon
Carbon off-road wheels by Bontrager. The 29er wheelset, as reported by Velonews, is weighing in at 1570 grams. Called the Race XXX Lite, these wheels are Tubeless Ready. As with all things carbon, weight (or lack thereof) is typically the most discussed…

Well I am sure you all heard things were rockin’ here in California today. RL and I are about 10min from Chino, (the epicenter). Today’s earthquake is one of the strongest ones we’ve had in a long while. There’s lots of videos…
