My white road stallion

A month later i fell in love on my new found friend, she's fast and very elegant looking. Been riding mountain bike for 15 years now, its time to shift the pace to step my other foot fully on-road to utilized the advantage of speed and higer pedalling candence. So its time to get the ultimate road rage machine. Yes few weeks ago this white stallion took my heart away. A road bike with intermediate level groupsets, carbon fork and some "just enough" performance parts gave me wings on the road. I got totally hooked with this bike on its first day of flight pushing me extra 40% speed advantage over mountain bike plus its easy on the pedal too. The shifting and braking was a bit very awkward for me since my hand kinda twisty over the goatee handle bar since the finger muscle already adapt much for mountain bikes, so i have to get use to the pain reaching the foward vertical position brake lever and shifter. My mountain biking apparel also isn't suitable and ergonomics enough for road biking since all those compact posture and sitting position risk getting blister and drag so i have to dig in robin hood men in tights which is so un-MX like. 4 weeks later i've become the fastest man on the road. Constant 32km/h, 47km/h on sprinting, 65km/h on drafting and top speed at 95km/h when chasing behind huge drafter. Now i got two mad machines. I love it!

Sunset horizon



Sunday return! hot and dry... i love it...at least save me some cleaning task. Throught the day the scenery been all golden yellow sunlight as we travel in and out of dry barren forest. Thanks goodness i've been more prepared for long rides by sleeping more than 12 hours to keep my body feel refresh and energized. My bike performed superb excellent after been well serviced and maintained by my 1st class bike mechanic. Grass lands, dusty trails , hills and valleys, cold drinks and adrenaline speed junks are what my Sunday is all about that outs me a big grin in my smiles.

Out into barren land

Not much haze but our scenic ride was very barren, dusty and hot, i like to ride on dry land so i don't have to wash my bike much when i get home later. Today the ride was much longer and extremely fast paced,with a group more than 25 people everyone ride at different pace resulting gap and broken to several group...some got lost, some too fast, some too slow and some seem to be wondering into the wild in their own adventure. I huff and puff my way up and down the hill chasing my rival, at night when i sleep i can feel my legs kinda heavy.
