On Location: MTB WOODSON!!!

Ok, I have hiked Mt. Woodson for quiet a bit already. I can't run up it like Omar, but I definitely don't walk up it. I want to say I know the mountain fairly well. I know what to expect. I meet new hikers and like to share my experience to them. Everyone who hikes Woodson is cool in my books. But how many people mountain bike up Woodson and then down. Not to many. Like the dozen times I have hiked Woodson, I have only seen one biker attempt the climb. The more I think about it, the more confidence builds up. I can RUN mountain bike Woodson.

On a day off, Aldrich calls me up and says one word..."Woodson!" Of course I'm down! I told myself I would ride it. Ride it I did! I was concerned that Al would slow us down. NO FREAKIN' WAY!!! Aldrich is a beast on that mountain. Running up and down it. He beat me and Omar down the mountain. Given I had to shoulder the bike one some pretty gnarly obstacles. Totally worth it in the end to get some pictures at the top with my buddy Omar. Omar is something else. I hope to edit the footage of his downhill.

Both photos were taken by Aldrich with GoPro Hero2 and edited in Lightroom 3.
I am disgusted wtih Omar. That beast.

Yeah!!! We conquered Woodson!!

Doin' it on the Daley...

I woke up to a rainy day and what do I decide to do? YUP!!! Ride @Daley Ranch near Dixon Lake. Alvin showed me a quick trail with some river flowing, hills to climb, fun downhill, little obstacles along the way. I plan on riding this place whenever I get the chance. I want to explore Daley Ranch more too. I heard you can get lost, so I stuck to what I know only. Let me know If anyone is down to ride trails, roads, whatever.
Daley Ranch on a rainy day. A bit muddy but tons of fun.
I definitely need a bike rack for Aimee for Roxi. Aimee is the accord and Roxi is the Rockhopper. Hahaa...I'm so ORIGINAL!!!

Bicycle!!

Yesterday, I received my new bike from a local bike shop in Mira Mesa, Black Mountain Bicycles. I had the worse time trying to get a bike from another LBS, that won't be named. I thought I was getting a sweet deal, turns up, there was a trick. It took forever to get my bike, cause they would of had to order it from there HQ in the east coast. They told me a date, I followed up and it never came in. I thought it would be worth it if I was patient. Nah, didn't work. I ended up canceling my order and ordering this sweet piece of metal.
It is a '09 Specialized Rockhopper Expert Disc.

Sounds impressive right, because it is!!!! I haven't ridden anything hardcore or done trails with Omar, Ben, Alvin, or Jive, and Tyler. Hahaa. But I will. I rode all the way to PPH West today. I wanted to take some cool shots of my bike and the future hospital, but ended up being too tired to pull out my camera. So took a crappy iPhone picture instead. hahaa.
