Trail Wanderlust
I recently upgraded by GoPro cameras and replaced a gimbal I retired. I finally broke them out at to tinker around with the setups. La Costa is pretty much a local trail for me so that was where the tinkerfest was held. While I managed to goon up some of the footage with the gimbal … Continue reading “Futzing at La Costa”
I recently revisited the connector route between and the La Costa trail system and the Elfin Forest recreation reserve as well as little bit of exploration along the way. Here are few thoughts and pictures from along the way. I had not been on the Escondido Creek single track in a really long time. When … Continue reading “La Costa to Elfin”
So I recently made a tweak to my Santa Cruz Bronson. It is built up as an XC rig and it rocks! It is a single track carving machine. The minor compromise I feel have had been making with this setup is that is not the most confidence inspiring rig when thingd get downhill and … Continue reading “La Costa Bike tweaks”
Yesterday I went out for a spin at Rancho La Costa Preserve. It was a pretty sweet day to be out on a bike. In addition to getting in some exercise I was planning on tuning up my suspension. I have been very much an “under-adjuster” when it comes to suspension. I tend to set … Continue reading “Tuning at La Costa”
This was my kind of way to spend a Monday morning. Taking a spin around at La Costa.

The weather was pretty freaking rough as well as I don’t think the humidity every dropped below 95%. I think that even if I would have had a … Continue reading “Lagging at La Costa”
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”
I was long overdue for giving some loving back to the trails so Saturday morning I got managed to carve out some time to help out with some trailwork out at La Costa. I would like to bring my boys along, but they both had hockey games later in the day and I’m sure thier coach would … Continue reading “Trailwork at La Costa”
Last night was the monthly San Diego Mountain Biking Associationmeeting that was held at REI in Encinitas. Before the meeting a handful of decided to get in a quick spin at the Rancho La Costa Preserve. I got there quite a bit early so I tinkered with a new camera gadget that I have modified … Continue reading “Pre-SDMBA meeting La Costa Playtime and Photo Geekage”
