What I have been up to in the last 3 months. By KWPS


So I haven't posted in way too long, sorry guys and gals. To give you an update I moved out to Los Angeles to pursue my professional photography career. I am loving the southern California weather and riding a lot as you can see from a screen grab on January 13th. I did end up hurting my knee in the last cross race of the 2008 season, actually held on January 23rd, 2009, gotta love LA! I had a fun time but ended up hurting my knee on the first lap, I banged it into my bar end but finished the race. Please see my Video. I didn't take a rest like I should have and I don't wear my insoles for my flat feet. I developed a knee problem in my left knee, hmmm stupid? Yes. I went a little crazy, riding every group ride I could find. The weather was so nice I didn't want to rest. I tried to record a few rides using TrailGuru but didn't have much luck with my iPhone and the crappy Cingular service in Los Angeles. I did get it to work on the 3rd try, here is the famous Saturday morning Montrose Ride and see my TrailGuru data here. I ended up buying a fancy Garmin 705 from this guy, GeoMan the cheapest place on the web! I won't have anymore dropped data rides again. I have taken it easy the last few weeks waiting for my knee to heal and getting over a cold. I tried out the Backbone Trail, one of the best single track rides in the Los Angeles area on Sunday with a local group Corba. They are a really well organised group of fun loving mountain bikers. I had a great time, we did take to many breaks for my taste but check out my tracks from the Backbone Trail. I am going to get some custom insoles this week and a bike fit for my road and mtn bike and see if that helps with the knee. Take a look at some of the photos from the last 2 months here. I will keep you updated with photos, tracks and videos! We love Bicycles!
