Trail Wanderlust
Man do I have a lot of catching up to do. My six weeks in Washington went by really fast and I was really busy with work. I did get in quite a bit of riding but much of my other work trips in the past, it is often tough to find time to work, … Continue reading “Washington Riding”
The last month or so has been pretty tough for me on the MTB front. Between a couple of injuries, illness and major work project here in San Diego I have not seen much bike action at all. Big projects at work are a whole lot easier when they involve travel as you don’t have … Continue reading “Joshua Tree National Park”
Well I’m back on the right side of the International Date Line and I must say I had a really cool time in Japan but I’m glad to be back at home where I have more “normal” things to fill up my day like leaky facets, broken sprinklers, kid’s hockey games and other family goodness.

We did a loop that included some burly climbing on the Mesquite Canyon trail before things mellowed out to mostly … Continue reading “Goat Camp Goodness Goes Bad”
I have been fighting off the early signs of a cold so I opted to do something non-epic to for my weekend ride. I had driven by the Ronald Casper Wilderness Park dozens of time on my way out to the San Juan Trail. I had heard that it was an okay ride but all fireroads … Continue reading “Pushing My Luck”
