SEH Loop - March 6, 2012 I linked up several trails inside San Elijo Hills to get up by Double Peak. Throw in a little hike a bike for something different. A few of the sections were really rocky. I should have lowered the air pressure on the tires. Overlooking San Marcos. Dark...

Quick/Short Ride - March 5, 2012 Nice, quick, loop at La Costa Preserve. I used a new descent to get back to San Elijo Hills(water tank). I had a limited time slot to get my ride in with Nathan staying home today. Many Thanks to Mor Mor for watching him. I did a retest of my speed up to...

Fire Station #4 - March 4, 2012 Night Ride - Took off after the boys were asleep. Quick ride up the hill to San Marcos, Fire Station #4. Awesome night out. With a warm breeze. Camera - Panasonic Lumix. Short ride, but with all that is going on, I will take what I can get. The route...

Thanks for the well wishes! Love that feeling. I really like passing another cyclist. The sound of the tires humming usually has them doing a double take. Love the reference to the paint job! You nailed it perfectly. Its got me thinking about taking a couple of my dad's fishing lures and...

Looks like a nice area to ride. I know the feeling you are describing. I felt the same way when I hit the beach on the Critical Mass ride. It was high tide and the sand was deep. I made it about a mile down the beach and headed back to the boardwalk. Play with your tire pressure and go out...

Follow up from post #112. I'm no doctor but I guess he snapped his funny bone off. I guess all those talks about how not to fall went on deaf ears. Glad to report that 16 hours later. Nathan has what he has always wanted a cast. Keeps life exciting! Now does this mean he will have to...

La Costa Preserve - March 2, 2012 Got side tracked with my GoPro today. Ended up just doing a quick loop in La Costa Preserve. Trails are 95% dry. This should look similar to other posts. Up to the Boy Scout Kiosk, Down Vista Del Mar and around to the house. Later in the day I picked...

Rails and Trails - March 1, 2012 Road ride today. We got rail last night. So I took off for Escondido. I spent a good portion of my ride on the Inland Rail Trail. Neat find and a good/fast way to get around. A photograph of Escondido Blvd. and Grand Ave. A nice day out with a slight...

Hello Chris, I am under the impression that it is too wet. I did a road ride today. With that said, I asked a mountain biker coming off the trails system by Fire station #4(Double Peak). He said the trails were dry. I think it just comes down to were you intend on riding. Get out and have...

P Mountain - February 29, 2012 Out and about in San Marcos. Dropping off the backside of San Elijo Hills. On my way to explore P Mountain. Off in the distance to the left. I rode several sections of new single track as well as some old stuff. Flowers are starting to bloom. Lunch -...

Errands - February 28, 2012 Todays ride was out thru Elfin Forest also known as the back way to Escondido. I had a few errands to run. With all of the rain it is getting pretty green. I stopped to listen to the chicken farm. Time to get the spa cleaned up. All of this riding has got me...

La Costa Preserve - February 27, 2012 Quick ride before the rain! Rode up to the Boy Scout Kiosk, down Vista Del Mar and then around the mountain. Short but sweet. I was working on a new camera angle for the GoPro today. Unfortunately it has too many attachment(swivel) points. It kept...

Good News on the Fatback. You are going to have fun!! The cycling shorts are made by Oakley. They are probably 7-10 years old. So I don't think the model name if there is such is going to be much help. I've been looking to pick up a second pair and have been checking out my Local Bike...

Yes, I gave the Moonlander a good bath because I discovered the rear hub had some play. Took it down to the local bike store and had it tightened up. All is well now. Then on the Critical Mass ride I noticed the left pedal is starting to make some noise. I think the salt water has gotten to...
