Morning errands done. I fired up the PC and opened TweetDeck to check what’s happening with my Twitter friends. Then a tweet jumped out at me, with my name. Coming from the official Twitter account of Nema International (@nemabrand):

Newbie Killer: The Movie

Excerpt: “We’ll be riding in La Mesa this Sunday. Find me a bike.”

Trail Traps no more

Girl (5-7) lying in tubular slide, smiling, portrait

After quite a long time of not riding in Malipay (quite, as I usually ride there at least 3 times a week), I rode there again last Tuesday. It was partly work, but I’m not complaining.

The ride required us to do the whole Malipay loop. This excited me as this will be my first time to go back to the violated Hagdan (Stairs) of Malipay where the descending section was dug out by freeriders to make the steps more difficult to go through by us lowly XC riders.

I wrote about it as soon as I experienced this, which I called the trail traps.

2nd Cross-Country MTB Adventure Challenge experience

I’m still tired. Having a very humid, sleepless night before the race, and waking up real early as I had to drive out of my way to Shell along Daang Hari to meet up with my other Team Prima team mates Borj and Ryan, then go back to meet with Prof.

I didn’t want to be late, that’s why I set my alarm at 4 A.M. Little did I know my text message to Borj and Ryan about our 5:15 A.M. takeoff time will be misinterpreted to 5:15 A.M. takeoff from home!

@#$!&! I meant 5:15 A.M. takeoff from Shell! Read More »
