From “THE ANIMAL” Eric Hunner… Race day I was up really early as usual checking the weather, light rain. Rain was a good thing, we rode MT. SAC the day before and it was dry and dusty, transitioning into cracked dirt and rock hard singletrack. Mix the two together with a little rain and we…
Month: November 2008
We recieved the Selle Success RTM saddle recently. The RTM is a sweet looking red saddle with titanium rails and a carbon fiber under. It weighs in at a pretty competitive 206 grams. Selle Success RTM Red Saddles are a very subjective piece of equipment. My background in saddles are all WTB. I started off…
To say that I was anxious about this race is an understatement. This past month since the Bonelli race has been spent trying to get over soar throats and runny noses. I have been sick for four weeks now which has left me with very little riding time and training. Lucky for me I paid…
My day started at 5am. Excited and couldn’t quite sleep, I tossed and turned in bed. Around this time I received a text message from RL. Apparently he couldn’t sleep either and was surprised when I returned his text message. I started getting ready, getting my things together. Approximately an hour and a half later,…

Today is “The Moe’s” Birthday! We celebrated his bday at the race yesterday with some cupcakes. We also gave him a nice present! Happy Birthday Buddy!
The Mt Sac Fat Tire Classic has to be one of the most fun races here in SoCal. It literally brings riders from all over the place in all riding levels the opportunity to try mountain bike racing. The first race of the day for our riders was at 8:45 am. The next race wasn’t…
Ner and I met RL, Priscilla and Eric at the Mt. SAC parking lot just a little after 7AM this morning. As RL stated on the previous post, many parts of the course were not marked yet. Prior to running into the Incycle guys, we took a stab at the course and rode approx 3…
This morning the MtnBikeRiders.com crew headed out to the Mt Sac trail to pre-ride the course for tomorrow’s race. When we got there the trail wasn’t marked and since this venue is actually at a college, most of the access to the rest of the trails were closed. We eventually caught up with the SC…
