This one is an XL though! It’s huge! There is a flare at the front of the bag to get some more room too. Damn.

Ocean Air Cycles

Yesterday I got a new shirt in the mail. It’s from Ocean Air Cycles based out of Ventura. They are going to be launching their own brand of frames soon aimed towards randoneurring and spirited rides. I’m really interested to see the frames in person as they address many of the issues that I have with my Kogswell.

At the heart of it though is that it’s a local guy making a go at it. Check them out and if it’s what you dig, support ‘em!

I’m pretty happy with how this frame bag came out. I think it looks great. This is a bag for a Salsa El Mariachi Ti.

REI Kayak Class

Errin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 03:46:52 +0000

This weekend Serbrina and I took the next step in our kayaking adventure. We signed up for and completed the Kayak Class that REI puts on. It’s a 6 hour class where you are taught the basic paddle strokes and how to maneuver a kayak. The second half of the class is a tour of the area which included going out in the open ocean.

It was really fun, but kayaking is a work out! Most of the class is spent practicing the correct way to paddle. As with most sports, if you get the proper technique down you can go farther with less effort. It’s tough to break those bad habits though. I’m really feeling it today in my back and core.

One of the coolest parts was when the sea lions would swim near our kayaks. One of them popped up really close to me and startled me. I thought I was going to end up in the drink! The teachers were great and we’re looking forward to renting some kayaks again on our own. Hopefully even taking the next level of classes too. Gotta learn the wet exit and most importantly, the re-entry! Don’t worry Glenn, I’ve got a ways to go before I catch up to you!

Back at it!

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve pedaled. Damn I miss this.

Custom Top Tube Bag

Here’s a custom top tube bag with a map pocket and a wrap around zipper. It’s designed around the shape of the Adventure Cycling Association maps. The interior has a removable stiffener and a padded front and bottom. It’s a little big for my bikes, but hopefully it will fit the needs of it’s new owner.

I’ve still got a bunch of pics from my recent trip to Minnesota to share. None of them have bikes in them, just nature. Here’s a taste.

Newport Bay Kayakin’

For our birthdays Serbrina and I rented a tandem kayak down south in Newport Bay. We had a great time. So much fun that we are going back this weekend to paddle again.

Feel My Legs I’m A Racer 2012

Errin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:48:28 +0000

Here are a few pics from this years Feel My Legs I’m A Racer. A climbing race of the 10 steepest hills in Los Angeles. I rode a little over half of the hills and took some pics. Some hills I made it up and some hills I walked. It was a great day though meeting new people and catching up with some friends. Thanks to Matt and Swarm for putting this on. You can see all of my pics here. Check out even more pics at TakeoverLA.
