Heading down towards some fun single track with the pooch in toe. She was a bit off the pace today and spent a lot of time sloshing around in puddles 
Oh I agree completely. But I have no problem with educating people in some cases. I have metal plates in my face (and no feeling on the right side of my mouth) from a rider who took a corner on the wrong side. So I find myself saying “blind corner, gotta stay right” when I run across a group of three idiots taking up the entire trail around a blind corner. And I do it with a smile. If I can save someone else from a similar or worse accident it’s well worth it for me. And geez, whether you’re a newbie or not, stuff like that is just plain common sense. These days I have a little handlebar bell for blind corners. As for those who don’t give uphillers right-of-way, I try to be kind and if they’re obviously newbies I get out of the way regardless.

New playground for the Muni!
I can’t believe after the years I’ve been in the area, I’ve not realised what a fantastic Muni area is a 20 min ride from my house!
I’ve always noticed some kids had made up some mtb jumps etc, but recently, the local council have gone up and helped them reinforce their jumps and berms, so now it’s a proper downhill course. This morning I was the only one there, so I had the place to myself to have some practice.
Love it! This is why I got a Muni!
First video ever!
Ride around the Watersports Centre today with Gadge. Cool and windy. I was cool and…
If I’d been windier I’d have made it up the hill 
Actual pictures of the actual legendary Watersports Centre. It actually exists!

Of course, where else would people learn watersports? Oh & unicycling;)
The Watersports Centre has appeared in pictorial form here before. For a starters, the UK riders for RTL used it to train at for the more civilised baton passing using a cup of tea and saucer. The approaching rider, as he draws ever closer shouting “One sugar… two sugars… three sugars… MILK!” to time the passing (and brewing) to perfection is still a fresh memory.

I met up today with Eric the Red, a street performer. He had a go at my 29er off road, I had a go on his 5 footer - my first ride on a giraffe!
Hope to try the 8 footer giraffe next week, and Eric’s going to take a 36er for a spin!
Found this, and I must ask…WTF?! 
(Gotta be PS)
never! 
A Short Ride
Naomi has been badgering me for ages to post this ride picture taken in Reddish Vale, near Manchester, UK.
So, finally:
Was the picture taken by Snow White? 
Hey! I’ll have you know that I am 5-9 on a warm day with the sun shining.
Another awesome “MUni & Coker weekend!” Saturday was 9 miles of MUni in the Santa Monica Mountains. Sunday (today) was 6 miles at Whiting Ranch in Orange County; not much technical stuff, but for sheer scenic beauty, it’s hard to beat! Then in a couple hours, it’s off the the beach for a fun 36er ride! :D:)
