30 miles qualifies as an Epic, doesn’t it? Well, this past Saturday I was invited on my first epic mountain bike ride! We hit Chino Hills for a nice loonngg ride. 🙂 It turned out to be a good size group of people, about 14 of us started out together. Our ride started out at…

Originally myself, Moe and Lance were going to head out to Santiago Oaks to check out the demo bikes from Pivot Cycles. But it didn’t work out since Lance and I had to be somewhere by a certain time. So Moe and I decided to ride our favorite trail, the Fullerton Loop. We were both…

I’ve been a huge fan of the Fat Cyclist for years now. The best way for me to enjoy his blog is by having it sent to my Google Reader whenever something new is posted. For those of you who don’t know about the Fat Cyclist he used to be kind of chubby (never really…
At least one night during the week Priscilla and I will hit the trails for a night ride. We usually have a few folks that ride with us, but this week it was just her and I. It was weird, but Specialized Bicycles was there to do a Demo Day. I thought it was odd…

On Saturday’s ride at Aliso Woods, we always stop at the bottom of a certain hill at Coyote Run to see who can make it up. Usually I’m bragging about how I can handle it, but this weekend, Moe humbled me…
It wasn’t too long ago that I learned more about pumping. This is a pretty common practice with BMX guys. Basically when you’re going through rhythm section or roller/bump, you pump or push down on your handle bars and legs on the back side to help you gain some free speed to the next roller.…
This past weekend I was subjected to the sniveling, screaming din that is Chucky Cheese(also known as home to inept parents everywhere). Lucky, or unlucky, for me they served generic fizzy yellow beer on tap to deaden the pain that comes with 100+ undisciplined rugrats. But this little event helped me realize that, for the past three…
