We’ve been so busy riding that we forgot that we actually have a Blog!! Any-who, it has been a while since we’ve put together a bicycle and boy, this bike will be nuts. The frame was ordered from a local company that loves to ship their bikes and frames in a box with a picture…
This bike has an interesting back story; RL bought it from Art and then I traded a Harley Davidson for this bike since RL had retired from mountain biking. This was going to be my first full suspension carbon bike so I was really excited to ride it. I took this bike on its maiden…
Let’s begin with a story: A long time ago RL and I were riding the world famous Fullerton Loop at night. Lo and behold I get a flat; no biggie, I got my spare tube and my CO2 pump. Changed the tube and when I tried to fill it up with the CO2 pump, all…
If you do a search for #bikefishing, you’ll find that it’s become a thing. Typically people with beards, Carhartt beanies riding gravel bikes are into this trend. Though I’ve ridden my bicycles to local parks and streams since I was a kid and never really considered it a “thing.” until grown men who probably own…
UPDATE: Click here to see our new Poseidon bike: The FX! When Poseidon bikes released their affordable gravel bikes I went ahead and ordered both of them. I rode the Poseidon X for about 3 months before selling it to my brother and this why: Let’s start with the good; the bike was very affordable…

Does anyone still blog in 2022?? Since “retro” stuff is in, I guess we will try to start a new retro blogging trend! Anyhow, MtnBikeRiders.com was sold so I now have a new boss who has given me free reign on what I write about since I do this shit for free. What the hell…
Shortly after I bought the Poseidon X gravel bike, Poseidon dropped the Redwood; a “monster cross” bike that was designed with the Fullerton Loop in mind. I was intrigued… I thought about it for a while and I went ahead and pulled the trigger. After two rides, I think I have a few good Poseidon…
I am back riding on the dirt! but this time I changed things a bit; I’ve been riding gravel bikes. Before I get accused of jumping on the bandwagon, we started riding cyclocross bikes since 2005, that is right son! 15 years ago! I ended up getting rid of the Salsa Journeyman Claris and instead…
Hey boys and girls! It’s your pal, RL! Yep…it’s me. If you’re a long time reader…like from the beginning of this mountain biking site from 2007, then you may have seen that life can be tough. But if this is your first article, Hi! Long story short, I haven’t ridden my mountain bike for over…
