Come to Cross Vegas and Make Money

That’s how some people do it. My photos from last night’s Cross Vegas came out so rad. But that’s mostly due to Ty and his antics. Dude was blasting the run up higher and longer than anyone else. So rad!

LA Life

If I were forced to move anywhere in the USA tomorrow, It’d be LA. Now saying that, I have to admit, I dislike 75% of the “city” but that 25% is mighty tempting and it’s that percentage that brings me back every few months. Last month, I was actually in town for the Mishka LA opening but managed to sneak in some time on the bike, in the bar and at Golden Saddle Cyclery. Even though I was only there for a few days, I had my fill until next time…

Recent Roll: Mt. Disappointment

Recent Roll: Mt. Disappointment

I love riding in LA. Well, not so much in Los Angeles as the Angeles National Forest. It’s home to the biggest climb in the continental United States (the Crest) and the routes you can take are limitless. From Cloud Burst, to Baldy and Mt. Wilson, meandering through the mountains is where I like to be when I visit LA.

So when Kyle asked me where I wanted to go the last time I was in LA, I told him that I didn’t care. His answer: Mt. Wilson and then Mt. Disappointment. I was game, as was Christian, one of Woody, Ty and Kyle’s employees. It was his first ride ever. While he didn’t go in for the haul up to Mt. Disappointment, he stuck his way up to the top of Mt. Wilson. Our day totalled around 65 miles and over 7,200′ of climbing. It was a blast!

A Golden Saddle Waterford Road

Chance are, you’ve got an older steel frame with either indexed or friction downtube shifters, an 8 speed cassette and some worked-over wheels. While a custom steel frame isn’t in everyone’s budget, chances are, a quick kick swap over is. Even SRAM Rival or Force can change a bike from a real pain to a real rocket to ride.

When a recent customer at Golden Saddle Cyclery brought in his old Waterford, the guys convinced him to go modern with it. And here’s the result. This beaut is ready for the HWY 2! Check out more below.
