What are you guys doing for training?
- Oh, you know... Quasi Eastern mysticism. Riding road bikes some. Washing our mtbs... not riding them, though! Who would want to see us doing that anyway? Nah, Just the regular stuff. The Buddah, you know, he was all about eliminating desire... I mean, obviously not the desire to be a world champion or have cool possessions like bikes or anything like that...

Moving from San Diego to the east coast was not one of the brighter ideas I've had in my life :-(

Leaving San Diego was a good start though. Just needed to go north.

@naadams2: You're making assumptions. I actually like the mountain biking here on the east coast more than San Diego. I just like everything *else* about San Diego more than here. SoCal does have some good mountain biking, and in fact, San Diego isn't horrible - but the east coast has so much single track, I just love it. But the weather sucks here, the food is pretty 'meh', and housing is damned expensive. So on the whole, I'll miss the riding here, but I'm scheming to go back to SoCal one way or another.

So apparently you won't find Team Trek catchin tags in the cuts under the Coronado bridge in Barrio Logan and hitting Roberto's at 3:30 AM. I see why I'm not UCI material.

San Diego is a bit of a bummer for riding. Moving up to the bay has been a real eye opener for me

@gmcgurk: Ya, my friends in the bay area post some pretty awesome pictures on facebook, but I haven't ridden up there (although have been there many times). San Diego is mostly riding fire roads to get to the short section of fun trail, but the nice part (besides the weather) is that for most of us, it's just so accessible. It was only 1 mile from my garage to single track. Where i live here, it's about 3 miles. Still, no complaints about 3 miles from garage to single track. Anyhow, we shall see. Hope to be back in SoCal one way or another a year from now. I'll miss the east coast riding - it is a blast. It's kinda like riding the rim trails in Del Mar Mesa, only for 20 miles instead of 0.5 miles.

@gmcgurk: San Diego (or rather just north of it) seems to work fine for the reigning world cup champion

I'm glad mountain bikes were in at least one shot - getting washed?

If it turns out he's fast this season, it's because he pulled those sprints with his sis.

Soooo hard to pick a winner for Team camp representation...Intense...Trek...Intense...Trek...paaahaha, just kiddin. Trek has shown everything that Intense did not want to show and left out all the fun stuff. To each their own, I guess...

But they stopped short of drawing a dora the explorer style map to the film spots while calling CA fish and game to report illegal trail building. I'll still give this one to Trek

@pinhead907 to Moving from Orange County to Boise was not one of the brighter ideas I had in my life :-(
riding in the OC and surrounding areas pretty dang good. Accessibility maybe not as easy as where I'm at but ah well.

pinhead907 (Mar 23, 2017 at 3:25)

I lived in Irvine for a while before San Diego. I was a bicycle commuter there - the bike paths are second to none. OC is great. Fake, but great.

If you go to blacks beach, you're gonna see naked older men, its well known, also one of the better breaks in SD

So is Rachel that fast because she trains a lot with her brothers or not?. Plus they run their seats pretty low on their road bikes, don't they?

nwtoney55 (Mar 23, 2017 at 6:33)

Why oh why are they at blacks beach. God that beach is annoying. Plenty of non-naked dude beaches to choose from in SD.
