With all of the competing interests pulling at my boys’ time such as friends, hockey practice, hockey games, etc…It was really cool that Jake wanted to join me on a ride at Lake Calvera this morning.

Today was National Trails Day and the City of Carlsbad put together some events that included a hike and a bike ride.

I spent way too much traveling this year to places I’m not particularly fond of. The work was certainly rewarding and the people … Continue reading “One Helluva Fall!”

Before all of the 4th of July festivities started, I rolled out from Casa De La Bill to hit up Lake Calavera to feel a bit better about the tasty beers and snacks I would be having later in the day. It was less than a 3 mile street ride to get to the dirt for … Continue reading “Lake Calavera”
Rancho La Costa Preserve is really close to Casa Del Bill so it is often on the menu you when I only have time for a quick fix of dirt. Despite its close proximity it had been sometime since I last rode out here. It seems like Elfin Forest, Lake Calvera or Daley Ranch had … Continue reading “La Costa Stroll”
With my current work schedule as well as both of my boys playing hockey I have been staying pretty busy.
