This weekend Priscilla and I visited our friends Scott and Jennifer Finch out in Temecula on a ranch that they live at. The ranch has about 20 acres of land and Scott along with his 13 year old son Alex, built a little downhill trail that included a rock garden, whoops, a ladder, berms and…

This weekend’s ride will be at Turnbull Canyon, the meeting place is on TBC road on the Whittier side at 7:00 am. This ride will feature a guest appearance: ME!!! My weekends have been rather busy, so I don’t get to hang out with the MtnBikeRiders krew as often as I used to. So bring…

So on yesterday’s ride, Priscilla and I were on a section of the Fullerton Loop that is known as “extra credit.” This portion of the trail rides along side, but about 10-20 feet higher than the fire road.

For those of you who like mountain biking… Never since the original LA Coliseum Superbowl of Motocross has there been an event like this. Southridge Racing Club owner Donny Jackson put up some bucks, secured a mini stadium, found some dirt, and designed a 4-Cross course. He even tracked down the original Superbowl of Motocross…

Yesterday’s after work Single Speed Extraveganza was the first time I was able to wear the new MtnBikeRiders.com Jersey. But before we get to that, I wanted to share a few photos of the group that went. I say it was a single speed extraveganza, but in reality it was only Khoa, Joe and I…

I’m feeling a bit pudgy since the whole weight loss contest. I could use a few excuses about having to start a new job, getting accustomed to it and all that jazz, but in reality, I’ve been WAY lazy. Some day I want to look like this young buck. But our buddy Ryan K. took…

I just wanted to share this with you folks. Nothing fancy, no waterfront scenery or a huge mountain, but it brings me a smile.
