From 4×4 to 2×1 – easy group ride!

Mon, Jan 4, 2010 – 8:07 PM

At the Vitara Club of the Philippines Christmas party a few friends who also ride mountain bikes requested we organize a 4×4 Philippines mountain bike ride for us to get together again on our 2-wheeled rigs.
We decided to set the date 3 weeks away from when we first talked about it. Dec. 27, 2009, was [...]

Record breaker!

Thu, Mar 12, 2009 – 12:46 PM

When I reached the gate marking the end of the climb I saw it was closed. How are we going to get through if it’s locked, I though, taking note of the huge padlocks. We’ll deal with that later, I though to myself then quickly and gently I hit the gate with my front tire, while braking, and I check my watch immediately. 11:32 A.M.

I do a quick calculation. 48 minutes? Against my old record of 49 minutes? I laugh out loud!

Bang, bang, baby!

Sun, Jan 4, 2009 – 2:57 AM

This will be my first time to ride this trail as it’s quite far from where I live and ever since I started mountain biking I always bike from home (I only started last year, almost the [...]
