Psycho List MTB Sunday

Today I was actually hoping it would rain all day. I really didn't want to ride and just "not feeling it" wasn't a good enough excuse to take the day off. Beside, I have an exercise schedule and today isn't a recovery day. So when I woke up, and read the weather report, I knew I was going to ride today.

I decided on an adventure ride up Mt Baldy Rd. to Shin. Then I headed down Shin to Baseline and back up Mills for a loop around the Claremont Wilderness Trail.

I finished up pretty early so I decided to say hi to a group of Psycho List riders meeting at Euro Cafe for some MTB fun. There I met up with Richard, Trish and Dennis. They decided on a ride up CWT then down Marshal Canyon. I rode with them up to Mills/Baldy Rd before heading back home by way of Thompson Creek.

Fly6 Cycling Accessory

This light camera is a great idea.

"World first cycling camera & tail-light accessory to record what happens behind you so you can enjoy the ride ahead.

Our project is a unique invention that addresses a number of issues cyclists encounter when sharing the road. We have a big mission - to make drivers aware they might be recorded, so they behave appropriately. We all know when we see a camera at a set of traffic lights we apply more caution to make sure we don't do something wrong. We know there will be consequences. Fly6 is that camera, but it's on the back of your bike!"

Time Trials

Carnivale De Velo

Carnivale De Velo from Deus Customs on Vimeo.
The downhill blast. The Airtime. The sideway skids.
Off the boardwalk and into the Santa Monica Mountains we took our old beach cruisers and up the fire-roads of Kenter Trail where gravity does the pushing and "The Whoops" do the launching. After gathering some good ol'fashioned road rash, we headed back to the Emporium of Postmodern Activities for pizza and beer at the Carnivale De Velo bicycle festival. Two wheels without the engine has never been more exhilarating.

"Carrboro has the most bicyclists on the road in the state, but contradictory town laws might leave these riders vulnerable.

Carrboro’s bicycle laws were up for discussion Tuesday at the Board of Alderman meeting.

Charlie Hileman, a member of the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition, made a presentation that highlighted some inconsistencies between the town’s and the state’s laws."

It would be nice to be car free, but living in suburbia with autocentric routes and city planning make it difficult. All excuses I know...

"When Ben Roberts was a teenager, the last thing he wanted to do was ride a bike.

“I wasn’t into biking,” he says. “I looked at biking as a juvenile thing. Once I was 16 and able to legally drive, I left biking and worked on cars.”

As recently as 2009, he had a hot rod, a Toyota 4Runner and a Honda Accord. “I had too many cars,” he admits.

That year, while managing a Medford cell phone repair store with his brother, the recession hit the business and his pocketbook."
