I was too sick to race the DH at Fontana, but I just had to get a ride on my new M3.
I went to Aliso and hiked up Stairsteps, went down Rocket, hiked up Lynk, then back down Stairsteps. All trails were in primo condition! Depending on when I feel better, I'm going to hit up Fullerton Loop early Wednesday or Thursday on my AC1 to get the legs back in shape; being sick sucks! ![]() |

On Sunday I did the STT/Old Camp yet again. You know how you get stuck on one trail and keep going back, hehe. Anyways, the trails were in good shape. I on the other hand had the worst chain suck I've ever seen. It tore up a bit of paint on my chain stay - just enough to make me cry
. I had to break my chain to untangle it. After getting almost to Old Camp, I had to ditch my friends and jet back to my car, because I was late for a tsunami relief fund raiser. On my way down STT I had to swerve around a couple guys taking a break on a choke point in the trail. I couldn't recover in time and ended up flying off the trail and endo-ing into some soft dirt. Good thing, because I was going at speed. I didn't appreciate my bike landing on top of me though . The wierd thing is that I felt totally fine, so I got up and rode on, but later last night I felt all tired, and took a 10 minute nap and when I woke up, my left shoulder was in serious pain..and still is oh well. At least I got to ride ![]() |

raced at southridge. got killed totally, got sand in my chain and made my bike feel like a ton, but i finished regardless. i did the expert class 27-34 the 3 laps combined with the wind and a dirty chain was not pretty. oh well, next time should be better.

Rode Fullerton Loop....after the water duct area, i went south on the horse trails for a long time to a new area that ive never been before. it seems to be a horse trail that circles around soem new property and even has some great views of the city - and takes you back to the area right before you go on the street back to the courthouse...
anyway..i was riding that..and my mind sort of blanked out as i was going down a steep part of it, my front tire got caught in a large rut, and i flew over the handlebars...i had a bloody knee and arm..but it was still pretty fun getting that much air as i flew off... looking forward to some more riding once the leg heals... |
