Trail Wanderlust
Time to catch up on some photos that have tried to get lost over the last few weeks in a smorgasbord of work, holiday parties, family visits and a cross country road trip (non-biking..but some intel was gathered). A few days before I headed out to the east coast to start all of the festivities, I meet up with some … Continue reading “Some Noble Canyon and BLT Play Time”
A wad of short blonde hair going in 27 different directionsu nearly buried under a pillow was all that could be seen of youngest son, Jake’s this past Sunday at 6:30AM when I went to wake him up. 13 year old boys are not fond of this time in the morning and he fully looked the part of a coma rattled … Continue reading “Farewell to a friend and Quality Time”

For the mid-week stoke, I met Steve, Eric and Todd for some fun in the Laguna Mountains on the Big Laguna Trail … Continue reading “A Week of Meadows, Lakes and Peaks”
So man, long time no post for me. Truth be told, I have been enjoying other pursuits as of late. After spending plenty of time traveling and riding over the summer I have found life at home in the “slow” lane really freaking fun. I have been on the bike a bit, but first a … Continue reading “MIA Status”
UPDATE: Since this page went live in 2008, the San Diego Mountain Biking Association liked this rating system well enough to use it as well. While I will occasionally update this page, SDMBA has representatives all over the county and are in a much better position to stay on top of these ratings. SDMBA’s Wet … Continue reading “Wet Trails Rating”
FORWARD: This is repost of an online post I made in September of 2007 after my boys and I spent a weekend camping in the Laguna Mountains.
