I always find the first ride for a new mountain biker to be a bit of a conundrum: the trail I choose has to be easy enough for the newb but hard enough to be a challenge mentally and physically. Too easy for the newbie and the rider loses interest. Too hard and the newbie…

A few months ago The Moe took a dive during a DH practice run at Fontana. He took a jump, landed but his bike bucked him off and OTB he went. Little did he know that his fall actually resulted in a REALLY messed up shoulder. He knew it hurt but he didn’t know the…
For the past few years, we’ve been hosting an annual New Year’s Day Ride at the Fullerton Loop. We usually keep the pace at a very mild and easy tone in which we’ve dubbed it a “relaxed vibe.” We keep it mellow to be sensitive to the party goers from the night before. Earlier this…
A small crack commando group from the MtnBikeRiders Crew assembled a relaxed vibe ride that consisted of a fantastic lap around the Fullerton Loop. This ride was to be followed by an Easter Egg Hunt at the trail head. Invites were sent and our fab-O-luscious friend, Vince Rodarte (KHS Sideways Sales Manager), and his two…
Gary Fisher Roscoe III Round number 2 was on the Gary Fisher Roscoe. I had to wait a little while for this one as some dude drove from Vegas to test ride it. That’d be 4 plus hours of driving each way! Before we get going on the review, I have to preface my thoughts…

Yesterday morning I decided to go on a “relaxed vibe” ride. Being that my industry was also affected by the economy, I have some time on my hands. I headed out to the ever so popular Fullerton Loop. Accompanying me was my 1.5 yr old son, Jake. The only time I’ve pulled him on…
As many of you know, we recently added the Sette Razzo frame to our lineup of bikes here at mtnbikeriders.com WCH. The Sette Razzo was built up as a SS. I have to admit, I was, and still am, very tentative about riding a single speed. I probably got that way due to all the…
For the past few years, I’ve made it a point to do a ride on New Year’s Day. Honestly its really hard to get a group ride going after a night full of partying. But luckily this year’s ride had a good turn out. We were joined by our newest riding buddy, David Sanderson as…
