A lady's foray into mountain biking

Author: Quan

Lover of sports, getting dirty and traveling.

In Need of a little Stoke

We all love it, regardless of sport… when we get a little Stoked. I really first learned about “being Stoked” when I took up surfing.  After sessions where I would get pummeled by waves, held up just a little too long and wipe out more than necessary… it would come.  No rhyme or reason.  A… Read More In Need of a little Stoke

Kindness of Strangers

After driving for about an hour outside of San Diego, I hit Cuyamaka State Park.  I was ready!  My goal: a solid 4-5 hours of mountain biking. And then I realized that I left my CamelBack on the floor of the garage. Yup, all my water and fuel were no where near me… and all… Read More Kindness of Strangers

Dreaming of the next Adventure…

I’ve been dreaming of all the cool things to do and places to travel in this world. As EJ coaches football… I’m pretty much solo for the fall season, which gives me plenty of time for myself.  I’ve been riding plenty and have a few (small) trips lined up… but really, I’m itching for my… Read More Dreaming of the next Adventure…

Base Miles… easing into Winter

In a climate that’s good for riding all year long, and now that race season is done – this is the time for base miles.  Not much structure in the workouts, just get out there and ride.  Not too hard, not too easy… just in that sweet spot.   I’ve rekindled my love of commuting… Read More Base Miles… easing into Winter

Taking stock on improvements 🙂

What a difference a year can make.  And I didn’t even realize it until it almost past me.    This last weekend, I headed up to Mammoth Lakes to visit friends, do a local long mountain bike ride and enjoy the bike park.   As always, it was great fun… and this time it was… Read More Taking stock on improvements 🙂

Wanna get your lady to MTB? Tips…

“See, honey, she can do it…” My buddy and I were clearing a technical uphill.  We noticed a guy at the top of the rise waiting for his wife/girlfriend while she was pushing her bike up the hill. Once we passed them, he said it: “See, honey, she can do it…” Gary turns to me… Read More Wanna get your lady to MTB? Tips…

Calibration Time: Setting new Goals

Now that the big race which has captured my focus for the last year is over… and I’ve taken a few weeks off from structured workouts, I’m starting to get the itch again. Yes, I might be slight goal orientated.  🙂 I’ve toyed around with the idea of doing BCBR again in 2019, but that’s… Read More Calibration Time: Setting new Goals

SoCal #winter. The water’s moving, we all have a few more layers on... but it’s sunny enough outside to play. . #gravelbike #californiaadventure #playtime
Southern California is getting so green!! I’m a bit bummed about the soggy trails, but thrilled with a departure from the ho-hum brown. . . #socal #nature #rain #outside #dogsofinstagram
San Diego is really America’s Finest City. Look at that! Ok, it was a road ride in the #mtb because the trails are too wet... but it still counts as #training and it’s not snow!!! 😂 . . #sandiego #californialove #bcbr2019training
#tbt I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m ready for some awesome #dirt, blue skies, and #adventure time... it’s all planned, I’m just being impatient *sigh* . . #mtb #mtblife #mammothmountain 📸 @aikanekai
