With all of this rain SoCal has been getting lately, I’ve been thinking about cyclists. Not just any cyclists though. I’m talking about people that have to ride a bike, not people that choose to ride a bike. I choose to ride a bike, and when I get lazy, or when the weather is less [...]

One of my goals this year is to complete some longer rides. A century or two for sure, but hopefully a Brevet Series as well. I’ve already missed the first round of the PCH Randos Brevet series, and I’m not sure that I’ll be ready for the 300k next month. So last night, with the [...]

One of my friends let me borrow his flash recently. I had a good time trying it out and decided to get one. I took it with me on our trip up to Mariposa and took a ton of practice shots. I’ll just share a couple that I thought came out ok. I was practicing [...]

This year we had planned to spend New Years out in Joshua Tree. We had both been looking forward to it for the entire month and this was to be our first time away from home for the holiday. Over christmas though we go some intel from my Aunt that Yosemite had snow on the [...]

We spent New Years up in Mariposa and went into Yosemite for the day. I took a lot of pics, and I’m still sifting through them. Here’s one to hold you over for now. It’s a beautiful time to be up there.

It’s that time of the year when everyone announces their goals. The start of a new year being a perfect time to start off on a new foot. I guess I should add my goals to the list. Bicycling- I would like to do some overnighters this year. Some bikepacking on the Fargo maybe? Or [...]

I’m looking forward to covering many miles and taking many photos along the way. Who knows what kind of adventures lie ahead for us this year. Hopefully some Backpacking and Bikepacking will be added to my list. I plan to do some FlyFishing and of course more Camping. I also plan to attempt some Brevets [...]

Up early Sunday morning for the group ride. The temp outside is 39 degrees and I’m wondering why I’m doing this. I guess I wasn’t the only one, as only one other rider, Ken, was able to ride. I go inside Starbucks and try to warm up with some tea. After a brief chat about [...]

With my first Brevet coming up next week I needed to get out and pedal. I’m still setting up the Casseroll, making adjustments here and there. I’m also refining my gear and fuel intake for longer rides. One of my Christmas gifts was a pair of Ibex Wool Bib shorts. I was anxious try them [...]

Looking through some old photos I found this one. My bike commute takes me through Echo Park. It’s weird to think that these used to be throughout Los Angeles. If only we could get back to those times.
