Hammer trails

Rain heavily in the city but at the outskirt far away into remote dense open forest its all dry and hot. Torture day for me, every fun comes with pain, 'no pain no gain'. Was a blast fun ride going down the hill at high speed plus but i come out with major crashed down the huge holes and another slip and bang my chest against the saddle. What a day.

At the beach

ooooooo... its empty... everyone still sleepy in da morning ya. In this city everyone pretty lazy getting up early in the morning. I came early to visit my kitty friend before heading to church.

Tom Yam

Found cool place to eat ultra spicy Tom Yam noodles here in the city but i won't tell hahahahaha. Stuff with nice goodies especially some nice prawns and spicy soup.

Up and down we go.

Another episode going and down, up and down, up and down again. Just like any Sunday on mountain bikes.

Friends happy hour

Its great to hang around with your buddies after work. Today is special day for my biking buddies, another got his new bike setup and another just got his first car, a cool leisure wagon car and we are really happy to share his happiness with us. Like every old boys we hangout at the bike shop talk lots of stuff and having great times with left overs of cold beer in our hands, we knew stranded at home isn't fun at all so being out there is thrilling. Later we hit the local Restaurant for a free dinner treat courtesy of our friends as appreciation for getting a new car and best time to get around spending happy hours and lots to talk about on this lovely late friday evening. Thanks to William and Eugene i don't have to spent much for my dinner. Thanks bud.

Dusky

High above the sea level i went over the highest hill in town. Greet goodbye to sunset before swollen into golden orange sea. The sea is calm, the wind was a breeze and few people wonders around here to enjoy the scene. Gave me peace and clam feeling. I always escape myself from being stuck at home. There lots of thing out there to discover. Lots of place i've discovered that offer a peace of mind.

Mind boggling ride.

Last Sunday was a bit mind boggling, despite having going up and down and swirling around dusty and muddy path venture in a new trails, were very much low on fuel after running for hours. Unlike our previous ride this one comes to a dead stop where no ones knows where we are actually going. Were are on top of the work looking high into blue horizon searching for an exit. 1 hour before dark we continue crept through murky dead forest....no joy. At 6.45pm we manage to find our way out by climbing over dense bushy trails leading to the edge of the highest clif where we have to climb down to nearest logging trails which we have to danggling our self going down the steep ravine aided with the help of few riders hand to keep us hagging down slowly toward the ground. 10 minutes before Sunday handful of rider manage to move on to pass by 5 final hill climb before escaping the dark forest. At 7.00pm its totally dark. Since i forgot to bring by portable headlight i have to chase our leading rider Richard who's on his HID light as my only hope of light source. Dangerously we travel at staggering speed blindly on rough and unpredictable trails guided only by narrow spot of lights. 5 minutes before reaching the destination we arrive at local tarmac road which leads to our finishing point where we park our car. Sign of relieve we sped happily for home.

Along the Sunset

Yet another sunny day down the road. I do feel very moody today cycling beside the beach and feel the soft glare on my sunglasses with nice slow mp3 music in my ears play me Venice style "Undine" song into my mind...all relax and cooling. Surprisingly the bird nearby bushes of tree flew slow side by side as i pedal down the lane where tree started to shed its leaves and wind blew as i passed by. Out here i feel more adventurous like a new world is there waiting for me to explore and see wonders of the scenery as it goes sunset to dawn as the sun goes down behind shadowy building glittering with diamonds light. The clouds looks amazingly awesome pink orange as i cycle up the hill for home. By night alone i go enjoy the night life and a great simple meal. The waiters and the cook welcomes and greet me with a smile serving me my favorite dishes. People around me, family, couples and normal people enjoying their night out in colorful feelings cheering the scene. I was enjoying myself, keep my mind blank and when i got home i feel relaxed and quickly doze in slumber with a smile.

Flatty psss..

Sometimes luck is not by your side but friends are. Before that my ride was a blast under one beautiful evening. Feeling springy and boingy all the way, After several minutes of ride that springy boingy feeling wasn't tall all nice when my curiosity sets in. Then when i looked behind me the tire was just almost flat, and now i'm miles and miles away from home. Got me push my bike under a hut and change to new tubes, after few pump the new tube valve also broken. Now i have none. With last resort calling my buddies nearby i had my luck and went away on hitch a ride in my buddy's wagon. Its great to have a friend who is very reliable when in need especially friends who share common interest.
