RL, Priscilla, Moe and myself hooked up this Saturday to explore some new trails out at Turnbull Canyon. It’s started out pretty chilly but warmed up about 30 minutes into the ride. I was ridiculed for my excessive cold weather setup from the start. Hey, I’m a slim jim…scrawny + cold = misery. Freezing Spring…

RL pointing to Downtown LA This ride report is a day late, but it the days have been so beautiful in L.A. that it would be shameful to be spending them inside in front of a Computer. Khoa, climbing up to the tank. Anyhow, RL, Priscilla, Khoa and I headed to Turnbull Canyon for a…

The MtnBikeRiders.com Crew and friends taking in the vista. Most of the MtnBikeRiders.com crew headed up to Chino Hills State Park for an early morning Saturday ride. RL, Moe and Arnie (Officially being pimped) We also had a few friends and Arnie, a loyal MtnBikeRiders.com reader ride along with us. CHSP is not my one…

Matt tuning up the HiFi 29er Pro Here are my humble ponderings and musings on the new HiFi 29er. As a 29er advocate, I’ve been waiting with great anticipation to try out the innovative technology and geometry that Trek & Gary Fisher have begun to apply to the 29ers. Gary Fisher is an innovator when…

Repeat after me, “Speed is your friend. Speed is your friend.” 7 out of 11 in my category. 2 laps, 6 miles/lap = 12 miles with a time of 1:14 minutes. The winner of the sport class, our friend Ryan, won his class with 3 laps in 1:05. Ouch! That dude is a machine. This…

Priscilla and I headed out for our weekly ride at the Loop. Man ever since she started riding the Motobecane Fly Pro she’s way faster. She was already fast, but on that machine, being 23lbs…she’s like a rocket on wheels! This was my view most of the ride, she’s got incredible speed and that’s why…

Riding your local trails is always a blast right? The majority of us started mountain biking as trail riders and for good reason. Nothing beats rolling with your friends(or alone) through some sweet, twisty singletrack. But, unfortunately, we live in a moron-rich planet. This past year my favorite local trail, Santiago Oaks, was burned to the ground,…
