Yesterday, he raced at Fort Ord in Monterey (CCCX series),Continue reading “Cyclo-Cross, Monterey Style”

When given the option of what to do, 9 times out of 10, my 5-year-old son will ask to go to the local BMX course to ride his bike. Strangely, I just realized I haven’t written about this yet!! We’ve been taking him to ride on the course since he was three years old. AtContinue reading “Bliss… the BMX Park”

Walk, Run, Bike, Scooter….Alamo Creek Trail, Dublin
I found the Alamo Creek Trail in the center of Dublin when my son was about four months old, and this great little trail has grown along with him.

Family Bike Ride, Bayview Trail, Coyote Hills Regional Park
The 3.5 mile, paved Bayview Trail in Coyote Hills Regional Park is perfect for the beginning cyclist. I consider a good bike route for my son to be relatively flat, separate from cars, and under five miles. This trail seemed about right. My four-year-old had a little trouble with a slight hill at the beginningContinue reading “Family Bike Ride, Bayview Trail, Coyote Hills Regional Park”
