2nd Cross-Country MTB Adventure Challenge experience

Sun, Apr 25, 2010 – 1:12 PM

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 [...]

Heavyweight Ride

Sun, Apr 11, 2010 – 7:43 PM

(L-R) Chris, Doc Riz, Borj, me
Our plan to pedal all the way to U.P. Los Baños, to watch the Big Daddy Downhill Cup, got canceled as soon as Doc Riz found out where the race was going to be held. Main reason is we will surely get caught in the dark on our way [...]

Broken

Fri, Apr 9, 2010 – 9:42 PM

Thanks to Hatch who showed me the eroded part on the right side of the track is now rideable. After the ride when he showed us I tried it out during one of the weekday rides Borj and I do.
This section of the Malipay trail network is the part that leads from the main Malipay [...]

Malipay Roller Coaster

It was weird. Last Saturday I arrived at the usual meeting place of our group during our weekend rides, at the Daang Hari Police Station. From our group (Backout Boys and Team Prima) I was the first to arrive.
Text messages were previously sent to some of the guys asking if they would be riding. Only [...]

Couldn’t… shouldn’t… wouldn’t say NO!

Fri, Feb 19, 2010 – 3:41 AM

Yesterday, I wanted to ride, but felt lazy.
Today, I wanted to ride, but felt lazy.
The reason stems from the thought of riding solo. Weekday rides are usually quick solo rides. Quick because I take advantage of the time when the kids are in school. I start the ride after my youngest has left for school [...]

Inspired by Nema!

Wed, Dec 9, 2009 – 1:55 PM

I’m lacking sleep. I just had to wake up early today to take care of the kids before they go to school. The 3 boys have different schedules in the morning to I can’t just prepare them all for school then go back to sleep.
With my “fuel gauge” on low I have decided not go [...]

The Mad Scientist is back!

Tue, Nov 17, 2009 – 10:21 PM

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 [...]
