I consider most of my mountain biking rides as something fun that I do and I don’t focus on mileage, time or effort. Well now that I am on a weight loss journey, my mindset has shifted a bit and I do focus more on the workout. We are semi-famous for doing “relaxed vibes” type…
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…
Two weeks ago I was feeling down. Rather than drinking my way to happiness, I decided to get on the bike and do a short ride. 6 miles to be exact. Mind you it’s been months since I’ve ridden so that meant my pace was slower than usual. What’s difficult for me is when I…
This morning I was graced with the presence Staff Writer, Albacore. Some actually know him by his alias, Adam Spik. So we met up at the Fullerton Loop after his shift where he plays with big hoses and revives dead guys…yes all at the same time. Here’s Albacore telling me how he holds his hose…you…

A shot that I took from my ride on Saturday that I thought I’d share with you all.
The other day Lady P sends me an email and here’s a little excerpt from it, “Babe you’re so awesome and handsome! You have nice calves, and great riding skills. Due to your awesomeness, I wanted to let you know that Sizzler has a coupon offer for $20 of food for $10! “ Before I…
For the past month or so, my daughter and I have been riding our tandem. You may have seen this machine used in a previous mountain bike race that Cousin Joe and I participated in back in the fall of 2010. It actually took quite a bit of convincing and bribery to get my daughter…
A little picture post just because. This is from my afternoon ride at the Fullerton Loop. I have been riding the Famous Fully Loop for many years and there are still days when I am just in awe of spring’s beauty! Ok…well if you can just look past the smog…it’s really nice out there! 😀…
