Favorite Thing about Mountain Biking

I love mountain biking because it's great exercise, it's less dangerous than riding on the road with all those cars, and lots of mountain bikers enjoy taking breaks at 420.

Where I've Been

I have ridden mostly in Southern California, but I did take my bike to northern India. Unfortunately, when I got there both my wheels looked like pringles potato chips, and there wasn't anything to do for them or any way to replace them.

My Bikes

Specialized M4 (2001) frame updated with Reba Team front fork and Cloud 9 Rear shock and Hayes El Camino disk brakes, XTR shifters and front derailleur and an XT reverse pull rear derailleur.

Favorite Trail

I really enjoyed riding from Harbin Hot Springs to Boggs Mountain. While at Boggs Mountain State Forest, the only tracks I saw were the ones I'd made. Really nice, beautiful and quiet.

Favorite Memory

My favorite MtB memories are all the times I rode with my son as he was growing up. It was such a joy to see him having so much fun and getting more technically and physically astute.
