Looks like fun. I could use this next year during the San Dimas Stage Races for my annual Bonelli BBQ.
Frannie Needs a New Helmet - Nutcase Helmets
My 5 year old is getting bigger and bigger. The other day she was telling me she needs a new helmet.
I really like these hemlets from Nutcasehelmets.com. These are part of the Little Nutty line, and come in kid sizes from XS 46 - 52 cm. They feature an ABS injection shell, spin dial adjustment, 11 vents and quick release buckles.
I think Frannie's going to get the Star Bright!

Riding Marshal Canyon with Old Friends
I had a nice ride up Marshal Canyon today with Michael. We rode up Marshal Canyon, down Cobal Canyon, then up Burbank and back home.
Along the way we saw some deer.
Mike did great. He powered up to Yellow Gate.
Big Shot Bikes, were out riding.
Right before Jump Trail we met up with Noel. Its been about two years since I last rode with Noel. We exchanged numbers and promised to ride together soon!
Noel was riding a classic GT LTS-2. I remember when these came out. They were the SH!T. I still love the GT LTS.
At the stables we ran into Togi. I haven't seem him in ages. It was nice seeing him and we need to ride Sounthridge!

Seasucker Bike Rack
Vacuum-Mounted Bike Racks from Seasucker
"Not only are our racks the easiest in the world to install but they are practically
a work of art. Aerodynamic and uncomplicated, SeaSucker racks attach
and remove in seconds without the need of factory installed
cargo bars or straps."
Sure why not, I'd give it a try.

Minnetonka Twin Gore Moose Mocs
Very Nice!
"Native Americans wore moccasins long before Columbus discovered the land. It's fair to say that moccasins are truly America's first footwear. Completely casual, they define a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle." Minnetonka

Turnbull Canyon (Backwards) with Team Velocity
Since I miscalculated my Cyclo Cross race dates, I opted for a last minute Team V ride. Not wanting to go too hard, I rode with the "Rec" group through Turnbull Canyon. It was a lot of fun, and towards the end we did a few sprints.

Thoughts on My Bike, A Film by Andrea Dorfman
...But there is something we can do too. We can go outside. And experience the world not from a car, but from a bike ride. Lets dust off our bikes and put our wheels to the ground. Lets take to the streets. Lets make our hearts pound...
What a great animation.

Riding Marshal Canyon with Michael Thompson
What a great ride.
Wednesday I rec'd a Happy Thanksgiving Text from an old high school friend, Michael Thompson. I rode with him once before, at least 9 months ago, so I sent him a reply, "Wanna squeeze in a quick Turkey Day Ride?"
He agreed and today we met up at Oak Mesa for a nice loop around Marshal Canyon (MC). I left my house at 7 am. It was cold, and many homes had frosted lawns and rooftops.
When I arrived at Oak Mesa, Mike was already there and soon after we were heading up lower MC. It was a nice easy ride and I was amazed by the many riders out this morning.

Race Report: Southridge 19th Annual Challenge
I woke up to the sound of pouring rain but I was determined to race today. In fact, the only thing that was going to stop me from racing was a cancellation by the promoters. I loaded up my bike and headed to Fontana. The drive there was bad. It was wet, wet, wet and visibility was close to zero. In Ontario, on the 10 Fwy, there was an SUV off to the side. It had hydroplaned and hit the railing.
Once I past the 15 FWY the rain slowed to a light drizzle. In Sounthridge riders were gearing up and getting ready for today's race. There weren't many racers today, I guess the cold wet conditions scared people off.
At the staging area I saw a few familiar faces from last race. My class consists of about 10 racers. About 5 of them were completing the Triple Crown Series and points leaders. There was a competition for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
We started off at 9:30 am sharp. By this time the drizzle turned into a legitimate rain. The first 100 yards was a long straight away, then a quick 180 degree turn that bottle necked. Two riders in front of me went down and force me to dismount. There was a steady climb and fire road quickly turned into single track.
The Southridge XC course was pretty technical. The climb up the single track consist of windy 180 degree turns, steep climbs of dirt and rock. Balance and a steady cadence was crucial. Rain, wet slippery rocks, 180 degree turns, and tight single track made for a great race.
Heading downhill was tricky too. Here were some steep drops, deep ruts and large rocks throughout the single track sections. I was riding my fully rigid bike, which made for an interesting race. The course also consist of some sections of 2ft wide bridges. Keep your bearing straight and ride as close to the middle as possible and you'll be fine.
I have to admit, I wasn't used to riding this technical of a course and had to dismounting on some of the steeper climbs. For me the descents were fine, tricky at certain areas, but over all manageable. On the way down, a rider rode straight off the cliff. He appeared to be fine, probably hurting now. I yelled down to him asking if he was okay. He nodded as he made his way back up.
Race day, I opened up the garage door and it was raining pretty hard. Oh well.
Not too many racers showed up today. I guess the rain scared them off.
Downhill bikes.
It rained throughout the race, from a light drizzle to full on showers.
