So with the Tour of Long Beach charity ride, benefiting the John Jaques Cancer Foundation, quickly approaching I started to preview some training routes for folks to come out and join me and a host of others for some light training as we build up for the event on May 8th. You can come out on a beach...
While I was riding down the coast this past weekend to San Diego I came across a ghost bike tied up to a fence at San Onofre state beach, and I could help but think about Gustavo Ramirez. It's been nearly a month since since his death, and I thought I'd share with everyone some words I put together the...
I was riding with a friend back up the coast last month and I made my first stop at the new "bike box" on Marina Dr. and 2nd St. My friend was visiting from Sacramento and he was amazed with the new bike-friendly improvements Long Beach has made in such a short period of time.

It's always a shock to the system when I show up for my first Cyclo-cross race of the season. My stomach starts to get a little knot in it as the start time draws nearer and nearer. I start running through my pre-race checklist in my head making sure that my bike is ready for the brutal pounding it's...
The Long Beach International City Bank, ICB Marathon Bike Tour is a great way to enjoy a fun and family friendly bike ride in Long Beach. After picking up my goody bag and bike tour bib number the day before, I was set for a fun day on wheels. I started the off my early morning by leaving my house with...
