The Opening Week in Washington

MTBBill — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:52:23 +0000

Last week was really busy. While work was plenty busy, I did have enough time to get out and about on some trails. After starting the week out by finding out with my bike being stolen, I was able to get my hands on a rental hardtail on Tuesday. Wednesday after work I hit up [...]

Celebrating the End of the Day

MTBBill — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 05:06:45 +0000

There is nothing like a little celebration and the end of an awesome day. It is great to reflect on day well spent with family and friends. One of my favorites is when there is a bit of great mountain biking in the mix as well. I have been really fortunate to have lots of those days. Today the [...]

San Marcos – Its not a F$%)ing Trail!

MTBBill — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:15:08 +0000

Tripe (noun) Lining of the stomach of a ruminant (especially a bovine) used as food. A slang term synonymous with rubbish, in the sense of something of little value, or nonsense. (see also San Elijo Trails) Definition #2 particularlythe “something of little value” is the theme of this rant. So for the last week or so I have been investigating [...]

Updated GPS and TOPOs How-To Page

MTBBill — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 02:34:28 +0000

Well long overdue, I finally got around to updating my GPS and TOPO Information Page to reflect what I’m actually doing when preparing maps, and moving GPS data around. While I’m sure some of the information will seem convoluted, it is what has been working for me. I have included some information and links about [...]

Two Peaks and Two Canyons

MTBBill — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:14:09 +0000

For the mid-week ride this week, it ended up being a doozie. The plan was to met up with some folks for a ride through Spring and Oak Canyon at 5pm. I was able to finish off the day’s work early and figured I had enough time to get some mileage before the scheduled ride. I [...]

Lost Webpage Found! Cuyamaca – Noble – Big Laguna Epic

MTBBill — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:43:27 +0000

Riding from the Cuyamaca to the Laguna Mountains and back is a really awesome ride that can range from 31 miles upwards towards 40 to 65 miles and beyond according to what you add on at the ends. The most I have done is around 40 miles. I have made a couple of videos of this ride in the [...]

A week of SD Weather Weenie Whining

MTBBill — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 22:21:42 +0000

Okay, so we San Diego folk are self-admitted “weather weenies”, particularly us coastal types. You get us out of our typical weather of 65-75 and sunny for more than a few days we start whining like a jet turbine. There was a lot of noise happening this week. Wednesday, I met Steve for an after work [...]

A Week of Meadows, Lakes and Peaks

MTBBill — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 04:01:40 +0000

I had an exceptional week on the bike. There was plenty of work, family and riding which did not leave much time for the keyboard. So here are a few pics from the week. For the mid-week stoke, I met Steve, Eric and Todd for some fun in the Laguna Mountains on the Big Laguna Trail [...]

A Big Bear Loop with Da Boyz

MTBBill — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 04:53:33 +0000

So this weekend the family spent a couple of days in Big Bear at my brother-in-law’s cabin. I brought along the bikes just in case we could carve some time out for some fun in the dirt. Turns out we did grab some time one morning so the boys and I headed for the lazy boy chairs at [...]

Snooping around in the Laguna Mountains

MTBBill — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:51:37 +0000

I got an afternoon ride in the Laguna Mountains area on Wednesday and went back on Friday to some more exploring. We rode some of the classic routes as well as some stuff that gets basically no action at all. I’m gonna have to do some further research to see if some of the stuff is [...]
