The last 3 days in SoCal has been pretty wet. With the local trails out of commission until they dry out, Priscilla and I have been hitting the road for some much needed training. We’re coming up to the finals of the Cal State Series this weekend, and this week is crunch time for training.…
Last week I posted some pictures of my new project bike, the Bianchi Nyala. This bike originated in the 90s and that’s why I love it! I’m a HUGE fan of older bikes from the 80’s-90’s and I’ve actually acquired a butt load of them to restore and resell. On this project bike, thought about…

If you’ve been keeping up with MtnBikeRiders.com, you’ll remember the name Wes Castro.
