Now that “The Moe” has retired from racing, what is he up to now??? I’m back to my roots, per se. See, I was never much of a real racer, I’m more of a “relax vibe” type of rider, the type of riders that enjoys nature (yeah, sounds corny, so what) and hanging around a…

Wednesday was Priscilla’s Crazy Sock Birthday Ride. We gathered the usual suspects, minus Doc Thunda, he said something about having to go to Laguna Beach to get custom fitted for skinny jeans.
