Thursday Night Ride Report
Priscilla and I headed out for our weekly ride at the Loop. Man ever since she started riding the Motobecane Fly Pro she’s way faster. She was already fast, but on that machine, being 23lbs…she’s like a rocket on wheels! This was my…
Trail Tale
Riding your local trails is always a blast right? The majority of us started mountain biking as trail riders and for good reason. Nothing beats rolling with your friends(or alone) through some sweet, twisty singletrack. But, unfortunately, we live…
Thursday Tech Tip: Having a tough time shifting?
If you’re having to put way too much effort in going from gear to gear, then consider replacing your cable and housing. First step is to get a derailleur cable and housing. Most bike shops sell a cable for about $3-$10 (depending on brand and…
Tuesday Brews Day: Pete’s Wicked Strawberry Blonde
As the previous Brews Days will show, I’m partial to darker beers. But, as promised, this brews day deal won’t be centralized in one style of brewing. Sure dark beers are great but, let’s be honest, it’s going to be tough…
My knee is waaay better thanks to..
This bottle right here. My sister told me that her husband started taking this stuff. She couldn’t remember the name at the time, but she knew it worked for him. All she really said was “Liquid Glucosamine.” and that it was sold at…
Bikes and Beer…does that put a bad name to mountain bikers
As you all know we do have a Brews Day category where our very own Lance Lowry goes into great detail to talk about the beer of the week. I love his articles because it’s always interesting and makes me want to try something new. For as long as I…
Do you get sized up based on the bike you ride?
One of my biggest pet peeves would be people that like to size me up based on the bike I’m riding. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I don’t ride mainstream bikes such as Trek, Santa Cruz, Gary Fisher and the like. No, I ride or…
KHS Flagstaff & Turner Sultan at Bike Demo Days
Lance & I hit up the Consumer Bike Demo Days at Southridge in Fontana, CA this past Saturday. It rained pretty hard all night on Friday but I continually checked the weather.com and knew that there shouldn’t be anymore rain by 9am. KHS tent…
Review: Sweetskinz Nightwing 2.1
I like to think I’m an open-minded person. When new things come my way I’m open to at least giving them a try. That said, I’ll admit that my expectations were extremely low for these tires. Forgive my hypocrisy but when I got a…
Cheap Light
I started this morning’s solo ride in the dark. The previous few times I had ridden at 6am the sun had not come out yet. Being smart I decided to bring along a light. Actually it took me about 4 rides and riding off the trail almost down…
