I'm just a guy in Northern California that loves riding bikes. Most of my time is spent on a mountain bike. I also own a single speed for around town and commuting. Last but not least I own a cross bike. I couldn't bring myself to buy a road bike. That was my compromise to be able to ride with the lady. I'm originally from Pennsylvania and have that blunt east coast attitude. Some people love it, some people hate it. Either way I wake up in the morning.

Van Sickle

This was day one of three riding with the Norco Dealers. I was graciously invited to ride with them for a few days. Our first ride ended up being a double shuttle of the Van Sickle trail. It was a…

Tolkan’s Treasure

This campground was quite the drive from where I live.  I will say your first time going there makes you wonder if you are going the right way.  The last 5-6 miles were on dirt roads.  The campground was first…

Stagecoach Scorcher

Apparently my aspirations were high for this ride.  It was 95 degrees and the heat just destroyed my energy level and my will to ride.  At the end of the day I did get a ride in.  As I’ve said…
