there was a time when old school was new

Old School BMX Reunion & Show ** Highlights & Invitation ** from Old School BMX on Vimeo.

I'll be in attendance this year :)

Glen Helen --outdoor season opener.

Krista and I made it a day of Mojo madness and took our Ibis bikes out to the track to watch the big guns take on the big hills. Wow. Man oh man oh man those are some steeeeeep hills and serious jumps! Major respect for motocross....

ps) Tecate goes well with sunshine, dirt, and braaaaaaaaaaaaaap ;-)

Cinco de Mayo on the 6th...

So I spent Cinco De Mayo working, working, working and completely forgot it was the annual May "party" night, until I was doing and evening jog and these cars went rippin' past me --one after another in this hilly neighborhood that resembles Fountain Grove in Santa Rosa. I was in Trabuco Hills (a beautiful area in the OC for hill training) getting in an almost "too late in the evening" workout after watching Myles run an impressive 2:12 800 meter race (injured) in a in a high school track meet. It took me awhile to realize that all those people zipping past me were "late" for the party --wherever the party was. I however, was quite content with the moment and my evening and the fact that I actually made my son's track meet! --and in the end, totally enjoyed a late night jog under a soon to be full moon.
Then Wednesday came along and after work off I went to join the guys for a one day late "Cinco de Mayo" mountain bike ride. There were tequila shots (none for me thanks!) and there were Tecates (don't mind if I do!) and there were sombreros (wish I had taken a picture of Lopes wearing his!). It was a grand time indeed...plus we celebrated Joe's (my friend Joe Lawwill's) birthday....so there was also a little chocolate birthday cake presented after tacos and beer :)
Good times for sure.....

Laguna Canyon is remarkably beautiful. If you haven't ridden up around the hills there, I hope you get to do so someday...the views are absolutely stunning and totally worth the trip.

Enjoy the ride...

I am getting a serious itch....

This is Michele Johnson...one awesome woman. Mother of two, kick-ass mx rider and women's racing advocate. Luck me to meet her....."braaaaaap".

my new "kit"
