So, a friend asks me tonight, “What’s the best lube to keep my bike as slick and as dialed as yours Albacore?” I tell him of this new (to me) stuff I have been using lately. When I find something I like I stick with it. Once a product proves its worth I become a…

This past Saturday Animal showed up to our ride at Whiting Ranch. He rolls up and tells us he had just finished a lap and was looking to add more miles that morning. One of our other buddies J-Kewl joined us for this ride. By the way, all the photos were courtesy of Lady P…
With a title like that, I bet you’re wondering what I’m talking about. Well, here it is…”how long does it take for you to get OUT OF SHAPE?” I’m not talking about getting IN SHAPE, but OUT. I ask this question because I’ve had a nagging cough for about a month. I thought that if…
Check out this guy proudly showing off the MtnBikeRiders.com logo at 13,500 feet in the sky. This is my brother, Staff Sgt/HALO Instructor, Randy Policar. At a certain point before he deploys his chute, he does let go of the banner. So somewhere in the desert, you might be able to find the banner. If…

As you all know we just had Labor Day. For us, this meant riding! On Saturday we headed over to Aliso Woods. Being out of shape, I cut my ride short while Lady P and Khoa went on to other parts of the trail to take photos. These two are notorious in taking photos during…
I have heard it from so many other riders, “skinny = fast.” But, as a friend of mine, Wankmeister, is finding out, skinny also equals misery. As anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows, there are a gazillion different diets out there. One thing all diets have in common — you can’t spell…
One of my pet peeves in life is lack of effort. I can’t stand it when people see an opportunity or challenge and don’t even bother trying. I’ll give you a bike related scenario, I was just at 2 different bicycle shops in my immediate area and I walked in looking for a frame within…
