On Saturday I gathered the troops and decided to shuttle Santiago Oaks. Mind you anyone can easily pedal up the top of the ridge to enjoy the mild downhill sections, but we didn’t feel like climbing, so we loaded up the cars to start our adventure. This ride gave me the opportunity to try out…

It was about three months ago when teammate Wes Castro shattered his hip during a practice DH run on one of the segments of the 2010 Winter Series. Since then our Team has been planning a fund raiser/raffle to assist with Wesâ medical bills. In conjunction with The Path bike shop (located in Tustin, CA)…
Last weekend some of my teammates (David, Kim and Tony) and I headed to the Santiago Oaks for some fun. We were joined by our friends Dan, Albert and Joshua. Following the heavy rains earlier in the week, we waited until the weekend to give the trails a chance to dry. Unfortunately some areas at…
This past Sunday, Tony and I decided to take advantage of The Path Bike shop’s Sunday ride. The ride location changes week to week so be sure to check The Path Blog for the current week’s ride. It’s a no-drop ride and has riders from pretty much every skill level but typically takes on at least intermediate terrain to keep the more advanced riders satisfied.
I’m one of those fortunate souls with the week off from Christmas to New Year’s and decided to take advantage by getting in a ride today. I hate riding alone, but I couldn’t conjure anyone up for a ride this afternoon and I’ve also been meaning to go to The Path bike shop in Tustin for a few weeks to exchange some parts. So I decided to knock a few couple things off the to do list, loaded up the truck, ran a couple errands, headed over to the shop, and finally to play at Santiago Oaks.
This past Sunday I headed back to Santiago Oaks, one of my favorite trails in So Cal. Meeting me were RL, Val and our friend Khoa (this would be his first time at S. Oaks).  RL was riding his recently built Sette Venom, a 7â travel bike. The night before RL had some reservations about…
On Saturday Joe Sizzzle and I decided to shuttle Santiago Oaks. If you’ve ever been to Oaks, you know that there’s some sweet single track on top of the mountain. But in order to get there, you’ll need to climb some steep hills. Since climbing is my least favorite part of mountain biking, Joe and…
While RL and Priscilla were enjoying their weekend getaway and Jeremy and Khoa were reminiscing about their Big Bear trip, I had the pleasure of riding with “The Moe“. Saturday we met at the Albertsonâs parking lot on the corner of Jamboree and Chapman. Moe has never ridden Santiago Oaks therefore I was looking forward…
This Memorial Day Weekend Joe, Priscilla, our friend Christine and I did some riding at a couple places. Our first destination was Fontucky to ride the world famous Southridge XC course. What’s great about Fontucky is that this place has a XC course, DH course and a 4X section. Nationals are held here every year…
When you take a husky rider like me and do something like this… With a seat like this…the Sette Strike DH Saddle… Then I don’t quite land the right way… You’ll end up with a seat like this… When I landed, I went one way, the bike went the other. Luckily, I hit my thigh…not…
