For over a year and a half, Priscilla has been taking spin classes. Sometimes she’ll go as many as 2 times a week and do her own spin session at home. So after many months of false promises that I’ve made telling her I would go, I finally did. Our local gym has a Monday…

From “THE ANIMAL” Eric Hunner… Race day I was up really early as usual checking the weather, light rain. Rain was a good thing, we rode MT. SAC the day before and it was dry and dusty, transitioning into cracked dirt and rock hard singletrack. Mix the two together with a little rain and we…
This morning the MtnBikeRiders.com crew headed out to the Mt Sac trail to pre-ride the course for tomorrow’s race. When we got there the trail wasn’t marked and since this venue is actually at a college, most of the access to the rest of the trails were closed. We eventually caught up with the SC…
As I mentioned a few days ago, I had graduated from an 18t to a 17t cog on my single speed. Last night’s training ride with the MtnBikeRiders.com Race Team was my first chance to ride with it. One thing I noticed right away was the speed I picked up on the flats. I wasn’t…

This weekend I’m really proud of myself. I did good! Yessum, I’ve become a big boy! See this…that’s a 17T cog for my single speed. That’s right folks, I’ve gone from an 18t to a 17t! Now you may be wondering what the significance is of one tooth and why I’m so proud. Well basically…
On Saturday morning, Priscilla, Moe and I scheduled a ride at the World Famous Fullerton Loop. While we were waiting for our friend Randall, Weyland one of Jeremy’s regular riding buddies pulls up. Unknown to us, he was meeting two other friends, Kenny and Calvin (avid reader of the site.) Since they were starting their…
Since I started riding my rigid single speed, I’ve become more attached to the harshness of it than riding a comfy full suspension mountain bike. Don’t get me wrong, a nice squishy bike is sweet, especially during technical rides, but for this fella, I’ll be sticking with my rigid for most of my XC rides.…
With the holidays fast approaching and the state of the economy, not only do we have to be wiser with our money, but we have to make it stretch this season. If you’re set on getting a new bicycle for a loved one…either its you or your spouse, many bike shops do offer Layaway programs.…
