Brown Santa dropped this box off this morning.
She’s a medium Turner Sultan @ 6.4 lbs.

My friends at Chumba Racing graciously lent me one of their prototype bikes to test out around local trails to get my impressions.
So off I headed to one of my local favorites - San Juan. Climbed up to Cocktail Rock and did the Old San Juan Loop around the top. There weren’t a lot of other riders out there and the weather was fantastic.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. Anyways, the prototype did great. It’s very well balanced, where I don’t need to exaggerate my body position when climbing over rocks or dropping down. Nimble would be a good word for it.
And oh..I caught a glimpse of the Salsa Big Mama in the wild today. I didn’t know they were out yet. It must have been a bike industry guy or something. Oh well. Too late. I already ordered another FS 29er. Details to follow later on

I took a leisurely ride around Aliso & Woods canyons today. My route took me up Cholla, down Rock-It, up Mathis, down Meadows and finally back to the car.
I was a little dismayed to see what some kids did to some parts of the park though. I guess they thought it was cool to spray paint some rocks.
I hope they get what they deserve some day. Karma can be a bitch.
I rode Whiting Ranch last Wednesday. But that alone isn’t really newsworthy. The actual reason I’m posting is that I wanted to test out this XML Google Maps Plug-in.
Now you can see where I am more often.
After years of waiting on weyland.com to go belly-up so I could assume rightful ownership, I’ve finally given up and settled on the next best thing - WheresWeyland.com.
Along with the new domain name comes a new look. This new design should give me the flexibility to add a few new things when time allows.
I had a huge jump in mileage and ride time this month. I guess a new bike will do that
The cross bike has been fun. I can ride from my house and hit up the some of the tamer local trails. It only takes me about 35 minutes to ride to Peter’s Canyon, where it would probably still take me like 20 minutes if I were to drive.
I even got another wheelset with slicks on it so I can join in on road rides. Longest ride so far has just been under 80 miles - which was a nice little spin around most of OC.

This month is going to hurt. It’s about 12 weeks out from the last 12 Hours of Temecula for this season. Time to ramp up the training.
