On Sunday Jan 3rd, Tony, Kim and I from the Mtnbikeriders team along with a bunch of friends headed out to shuttle the San Juan Trail because Tony is allergic to pedaling up-hill. Not really, Tony actually wants to ride up, but I always say I’d rather shuttle it twice than ride up and down!…

For the last 6 months I’ve been riding with a Ghetto Tubeless Conversion. Yah its called GTC because its a cheaper version of the Stan’s Tubeless Conversion. Before I start, I need to say that if you attempt to do any of this, you’re on your own. We’re not responsible nor do we recommend you…
The WTB Wolverine tires came stock on the KHS XCT 555 that I reviewed. I’ve been riding with these tires for a few months now and I wanted to provide our readers a review in the event they are looking for a new set of tires to roll with. Before we get started, here’s the…
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.

This past year Joe “J Sizzle” Solancho hooked up our team with a new team sponsor “Spenco“. If you haven’t heard of this company yet you MUST check them out. The company offered to send us some sweet gloves to ride with. I must confess that I initially was not impressed with the limited selection…

Hey Southern California Mountain bikers, my Soul Cycles Dillinger 29er Singlespeed bike was stolen from the Whittier CA area. The bike was custom built and the frame is not very common. If anyone sees it posted on CL or ebay, please email me @ cycle_moe@yahoo.com.
The winter holidays came and went all too quickly for me, without enough of a break from the last race I did in November. I had dreams of an off-season three months long. The 1st race of the 2010 winter series was approaching quickly and I decided to treat this as training for the bigger races from March to May.
