The Editors of MtnBikeRiders.com (that’s me and Moe!) have chosen our top 10 favorite things for the year of 2007. These are in no specific order… 1. Sea Otter Classic was by far my favorite bicycle event we went to this year. 2.TAG Wheels. They have to be one of the coolest products I’ve seen…

As you may remember, we’ve been to Aliso Woods in more than a few occasions. What can I say, we love this trail! This week, MtnBikeRiders.com was a bit short handed due to the holidays, but that didn’t stop us from organizing a ride with some new friends. Joe and Robert, our newest riding buddies…
Here’s my first attempt at a video review, sorry no narrator, you wouldn’t understand me anyway…
This week’s Thursday Tech Tip was proudly presented by Jeremy Yang. He needed some help with the Redline Mono9’s crank arms. So rather than giving the boy the fish, I taught him how to catch a fish…and placed him in front of the camera for the whole world to see! So with out further adieu..I…

But here’s the dilema with these videos. When I’m sitting there watching it, my adrenaline get’s pumping, and all I could do is fantasize about how…
In order to start the holiday off right, my friend and I headed up to the San Bernardino mountains to ride the Santa Ana River Trail. It’s a 30 mile trail(15 out and 15 back) that is pure singletrack except for a mile long fireroad descent at the beginning. Temperature was either freezing or really…
