Damn Tire

I bought a new tire and tube last night and so far it’s not working out. I installed the tire and tube fine and I went on my way on my ride and in less than 5 minutes I felt a bump in my ride. Every revolution I felt a bump. I stopped when it [...]

Ripped a New One :/

So last night on my night ride I must have damaged my tire in that little scuffle I had with the curb. When I was prepping my bike today for the beach I noticed a 1/2″ tear in the tread and I saw that I was able to fold it up and expose the tube. [...]

Late Harbor Ride

Tonight I decided that I was way bored and, and, and I am very distracted right now, haha. I’m watching Superbad streamed to my Xbox 360 on Netflix and it is HILARIOUS. Anyways a friend and I went on a late night ride starting at the Dana Point harbor and we rode about 9 miles [...]

Cycling and Alcohol Does Mix

Yesterday evening was my first look in to bike “repair”, haha. One of my friends got herself a brand new bike and she had been having trouble with it ever since she got it. From the derailleur to the shifters, nothing was working like it was supposed to. She took it to the shop to [...]

Nice BALL

So, I decided to buy an exercise ball today.  I wasn’t sure at first but I first heard of using it the way that I’m using it by listening to/watching Leo Laporte and his TWiT shows. He, and now I, use an exercise ball at our desks instead of using a comfy executive chair. In [...]

Little Loop

Went on a brief ride today with my g/f. We did a little loop that I like to do sometimes. You start at the fire station in Laguna Niguel and you take the asphalt trail all the way down to Chaparossa Park. After, you take the long road to Niguel Road and you take Niguel [...]

Sidewall Sadness

I had a great ride today! I hauled some SERIOUS ass. I’m very happy that I beat my “to” the beach time from my house by about 5 minutes. I’ve knocked it down to about 23mins. Now that ain’t half bad. I woke up pretty early today, well, early by my standards, 9:45a to do [...]

Intense and a Half

Wow, great workout today. Same riding route to the beach as always but with a couple different things thrown in. This time a couple of my friends came along for the ride. We had a good 3 man sesh hittn’ the beach trail. There are good and bad thing with riding in a group when [...]

Nothing Special

Went on a ride today after work and I was planning on riding my bike to the gym. About 2.5 miles to the gym, 8 miles on the stationary and then 2.5 back. Sounds good right? Only thing is that it helps to bring the bike lock with you. So, half way there I remembered [...]

One tube, two tubes, 3 tubes POP!

Zomg, another tube popped. Now, I think I got it 100% taken care of this time. I was all ready to head out and take the bike to the beach early this afternoon and when I started to pack the bike up, I noticed that the front tire was flat again. I almost expected it, [...]
