“Compensating”?

Fri, Feb 19, 2010 – 3:31 AM

The day my wife finally rode with me on a loaned mountain bike (thanks Bong!) was the first time I’ve ridden the Nuvali mountain bike tracks, though I’m pretty sure we weren’t able to ride the complete tracks as we were adjusting to match my wife’s riding level.

Whole day quickie ride(s)

Thu, Dec 3, 2009 – 1:07 PM

Last Monday was a national holiday. Since before the weekend I’ve been planning on getting my car from my friend’s repair shop in Q.C. which I was planning on getting by pedaling all the way from Cavite to his shop. My bike rack was left in the car since I pedaled home when I left [...]
