NMBS Race #1 - Bonelli Park

Raced the Team Big Bear season opener in San Dimas today with Nor, Carlyn, Andrew and Nor's cousin. The course was non-technical and relatively smooth, perfectly suited to a hardtail. Rode the Klein which worked well and came in 1st out of 8 in Beginner 40-44. Click on the map for details.



Here's a podium photo. Could be my last one ever.

Different Mammoth Video

Something's wrong. The clip in the previous post which I uploaded yesterday got severely shortened somehow. Here's a different clip showing a run from the top of Chair 5 to the Canyon Lodge parking lot. This one should be almost 5 min in length.

Spring Day at Mammoth - 03.11.07

Hit Mammoth over the weekend with Scott Schumacher. Temps were in the low 60's both days -- more like May than March. Snow was a bit soupy on the lower part of the hill but nice and firm up top.

Here's an admittedly lame clip shot w/ my still camera on a top-to-bottom groomer run from Cornice Bowl to Stump Alley.

Unfortunately, my camera memory ran out part way down. Oh, and the audio dropped out too when I converted the file. Nice...



Interestingly, the GPS worked pretty well up here (except for in the gondola building). Click on the map image for partial info from Sunday.

Sycamore Canyon Ride - 03.04.07

Rode up at Sycamore Canyon north of County Line today. Mileage was on the short side but there was a fair amount of climbing involved. Click on the MotionBased map graphic for details.



The Guadalasco and Overlook single-tracks were in great shape. With its swooping, bermed turns, Overlook could be one of the most fun sections of trail in So Cal. Here's a pic from last year.



Temps today were in the high 70's with some cloud cover. The ocean was about as flat as I've ever seen. Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands were quite visible in the distance.
