Something to watch after your weekend ride.

CX @ Prado Regional

This time around I entered Adam in the Youth 6 to 9 category.  He did really well and scored a 4th place finish.  He was extremely proud of his medal and root beer prize.

I raced Mens C and actually completed the race.  No flats, but the heat and grass got to me.  Racing on grass stinks.  It is bumpy, and the friction really makes it hard.  Underneath the grass were gopher holes, ruts, mud.  There was no coasting to "recover" while on the grass.  You had to pedal through it all.

CX @ LA Historical Park

A couple weekends ago I entered Adam and Natalie in a CX Kiddie Race. Both of them really enjoyed it. I raced the Mens C for about 2 minutes.  I flatted very early on which ended my race all to soon.

This had me laughing the whole time. It is not in English but you get the point. A must watch.

What It Is
A bike train is an organized group made up of children and adults who ride their bikes to and from school along an established route.

Bike-Train Benefits
According to the advocacy group Safe Routes to School (SRTS), kids who bike or walk to school are more likely to maintain a healthy weight and blood pressure.­ Other benefits include improved mental health, better ­academic performance, and less car congestion near schools, which is not only safer, it’s also better for the environment. Still, some parents are reluctant to let their child ride to school on their own, says April Economides, a sustainability consultant who speaks around the country about creating bike-friendly­ communities. “A bike train is a good solution since chaperones are involved and it provides safety in numbers,” she says.

Glendora Mountain Road with Oscar M

Every Tuesday, I try to ride Glendora Mountain Road after work.  This past week I met Oscar and his group of friends.

Oscar and I exchanged numbers and Saturday we decided on a ride to Mt Baldy.  Oscar is not only a great guy, he is also a strong rider. 

We rode GMR to the base of the switchbacks up Mt Baldy.

Riding with Team Velocity

This Saturday I did something different.  Michael, Kevin and I decided to ride down to Fullerton and meet up with Team Velocity.

The air was hot, and humid.  The ride was fast. I had a great time.
