This is a delayed post, and just a short video of a part of our ride last Feb. 7, 2010 (video at the bottom of this post). It was an easy and light ride, but the call of the winding single track that leads to the “Puno ng Malipay” (“Tree of Malipay”) was just too [...]
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.
But as we were done with the first [...]
This was on Valentine’s Day 2010, the first time my wife, Jam, tried mountain biking (on a loaned mountain bike; thanks Bong!). With us on this ride were Ian (fellow Backout Boys member) and his wife.
Ian knew we had to adjust to make this day’s ride enjoyable for my wife. Lei, his wife, was just [...]

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 [...]
January 3, 2010, I invited an old friend, Chris, who’s fairly new to mountain biking to visit us and try out the Malipay trails. Doc Riz & I have plotted a newbie-friendly route so as not to give Chris a hard time in the trails.
It being a Sunday the usual weekend riders were at the [...]
Both cars are in the repair shop. I thought one would be ready in time for the race. Guess not.
As soon as I found out about the car not being available for the race I sent a text message to Togs. I need a ride to the race.
His Mitsubishi Adventure can comfortably fit 3 persons, [...]

The Mad Scientist is back!
I keep pedaling on the slight uphill road of Daang Hari with Rod. Suddenly I feel Darna, my Fuji Outland Pro bike, sway from side to side.
Am I that tired, I thought. Is this the start of bonking out? I didn’t think so. I looked straight ahead expecting my vision to blur. It didn’t.
I [...]
