[VIDEO] Philmofo’s Southern Attack

Tue, Jun 22, 2010 – 8:02 PM

Curiosity, and the chance to pedal a long distance (for some), got the best of some Mofos (a.k.a. Philmofo members).
I received a PM asking if I’ll be available to lead a a group of Mofos around our local trails. Since majority of the group normally rides in the east (of the metro) I decided to [...]

October 24, 2009, the Sanitarium ride happened. Click on the link to read about the ride or refresh your memory, but finally, after almost a year, I was able to fix and upload the video of this ride. It’s mostly the clips of our visitors: Vic, Ria, and her husband Dex — first-timers in Malipay.

DH Day

Sun, May 23, 2010 – 9:28 AM

It started out with a tweet. Me expressing a thought, saying I wanted to try downhill riding, but at the same time hesitant to do so.
