S.O.S. NorCal Ride - 19JAN2025

19JAN2025 - was a gorgeous day to be out on our MTB's. The sun over the last two weeks has made our dirt Primo right now, so good!

Rider "Big Kill" recently changed tires to a more aggressive mud tire because of the rain... and then it stopped raining, haha! The dirt was so good and the tires were overly aggressive for the front end which had our lovely roots kicking his front end out. Thankful that this crash went so smoothly, it could have been way worse! but this is what we live for. We know the consequences and we know they are very real. We wouldn't want it any other way.

That being said - We love ALL riding, it doesn't have to be gnarr. We want to continue to grow in our area and would love to get more riders who support our Armed Forces out on rides. LETS RIDE!! please reach out to us.

Also, notice that when on group rides. We wait for each other, we check each other, we are there for each other, we look out for each other.... its hard to find the same sort of "Brotherhood" that we all found in the Armed Forces, this is something we believe we are doing our best to replicate.

If you are a Veteran and would like to get out on a ride on any discipline/any level - beginner to pro! then let us know! We are here for you! We know firsthand the #therapy that #biking brings and we want to share that with YOU 🫵
