This evening Priscilla and I ventured out on this super top secret trail that no one really knows about. I’d tell you but then you’ll ruin it because its such a fun place you’ll want to ride there and invite all your friends, then it wouldn’t be secret anymore… Tonight’s ride was a bit different.…

I have been doing battle for many years now, as a matter of fact since 1997 from one coast to the other I have gone. Way back when in that time I have been sponsored by few protective companies, but none has matched the fit, feel, and functionality of DAINESE. Now I won’t compare other…

OK the time is near, I feel it in my bones, like the birds that get the urge to go south for winter or the migration the whales do to baja, its time, time to make our trek to the city of sin, the city that never sleeps, the city where a beam of light…
This is my manly dog Cowboy! He’s so secure in his doghood that he can totally rock the new Pink MtnBikeRiders.com Tuxedo jersey. One thing I’ve learned, it takes a ton of confidence and GAME to be able to pull off wearing a MtnBikeRiders.com Tuxedo jersey. So if you’re as cool as Cowboy and I…
