Sanitarium: The Video

October 24, 2009, the Sanitarium ride happened. Click on the link to read about the ride or refresh your memory, but finally, after almost a year, I was able to fix and upload the video of this ride. It’s mostly the clips of our visitors: Vic, Ria, and her husband Dex — first-timers in Malipay.

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 [...]

Trail Traps – BEWARE!

Diego (taken before the March 14, 2010 ride)
Late this morning Diego G. and I did a quick heatstroke ride in the Malipay trails. As I couldn’t ride early we were able to start at around 10 A.M. (now you know why I call it a heatstroke ride; damn weather!)
Since I have a full day (ride, [...]

Cardiac Attack, an uphill mountain bike race

Both cars are in the repair shop. I thought one would be ready in time for the race. Guess not.

Sanitarium

Then a friend from Twitter, @vicicasas, sent me a text a few days [...]

Palace in the Sky Cherry-Popping

Waiting for take off
It was my first time to do the Palace in the Sky climb last Friday, Aug. 21, 2009. What should have been a very looong and leisurely ride turned out to be a day of a few personal landmarks all done in 1 day, namely my first time to use my GoPro [...]

New mission for the Backout Boys

I was brushing my teeth when my phone started ringing. I let it ring and finish up. When I checked the caller ID it showed Togs’ name. I was about to send a text message asking what’s up, when it rang again. I press the green button.
“Hello?” I say.
“Addict,” Togs greets me.
“What’s up?”
“We have a [...]
