Journey through the plains

I'm glad its not raining today which save me some potential wash work on my garbs and equipment cuz it was a little drizzle early in the morning. However today weather is super blue and hot. Surprisingly today is very much easier and gentle ride, slow and steady just enough time to turn my heads around watching around the scenery as we pass by several villages, forest and great plains of bushes towards the horizon. "Taking easy" during the ride was a good mode to enjoy my sunday unlike previously where we have to compete each other who's the fastest. Today journey is very much slow and breath taking adventure, my mind very cleared and refresh after taking a nice view over big green scenery around me.

Head cam action

Finally i got my head cam worked all throughtout the ride and stay static on my head. Here are some of my recorded action from my helmet POV. Comes with crash test introduction from our biking buddy Mr. Vincent who show us how to recover from crashes in more macho ways. Enjoy the 10 minutes clip.

Windy upper land

Our Sunday ride went very easy, not much of a challenge. Just going up the hill and enjoy the beautiful view below us; fields of plantation and dense forest on our south side. The wind kind of cool and breezy too at 4pm.

Local ice yummies!

We called it our local SPECIAL, some may refer as ABC ice "Air Besi". Anyways this is my favorite "cool off" iced food after long hard ride under the sun. We've been cycling more than 75km under the hot sun today and i'm the first to reach the food stall for 3 rounds of iced SPECIALS. Inside are some milked cream ice, some jellies, corn, beans, syrup and lychees.

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.

John Rambo's leg

After going in and out of the jungle mountain biking got this strange huge marks. I don't know where i get this huge mark on my leg but i thinks it cool, looks like camoflauge Rambo's leg. 2 days after that i realised its a huge wound,lol.

Ghostly trails...feel it!

Me and my buddies love the jungle, our tropical jungle full of weird things especially its the type that is 'undistrubed'....then came along us ride pass through make our own pathless trails on our mountain bikes. Sometimes i could hear bogus sounds of screetching disc brake that none of us did at that time... be we sure that thing was making that sound mimic it to lure us into confusion. Thumb rules being in tropical forest: never shout out people names and talk about things that make the "thing" says it. Yup. be silent and stay loww...shhhhhhhhhhh...

I love extreme rocky hill climbing!

Whew!! Climbing by cycling over rocky hills overcome impossible obstacles is my favorite pastimes. It just reminds me like a rock crawler truck climbing lunge and climbing over big rocks pushing massive torque of horse power to over come the obstacles bigger than the wheels itself. As me on my mountain bike its all leg toque, body momentum and technical skills thats keeps me thrilled to be able to pedal up to the highest peak of the hills without having my legs to touch the ground. Up there its all beautiful scene of horizan and sea can be seen up there. `I love it!

Cycling in different perspective

The sun is above of as we ride out into unexplored Urban forest. We got bored riding on the same route everyday so we decided to go totally diferent places for the sake of thrills. Since i rarely cycle at noon where the sky is high and the sunlight are every bright the environment around us looks very much different and livelier than nearly evening time. Probably the bright ambient lights shines out the contast color of pure environment color. The sea looks very dark blue, the bubble wave very white, pine trees very dark green and fresh lush of grass very green and sthe sky is true blue: colors like screenshots taken from annual calendar photo. Very vivid and bright. We cycle pass with breezy wind cool us down and we speeding down the unexplored trails feeling more adventurous and lucky to be out there to explore the beauty behind our back yard. Luck we didn't get any sunburn.

Gentle evening ride.

As usual on every thursday is the usually day where most local cyclist will group together in the evening for a long ride. Me (yellow jersey) and my friend (in blue jersey) decided to ride at our own slow pace through different route around the district touring and experience new places away from the usual main road that we use to follow. Were much happy that evening because the weather was very nice and pleasant to ride. Its very beautiful evening and calm wind rub against our face and glide through the gentle wind. The light orange sunlight and the dusky orange and blue sky make the ride scenery more aromatic and pleasant. We clocked 75km worth of milage around the district from and end to another end of the town at moderate speed just to get the enjoyment of sight seeing places and people around us. Unlike last year we go fast but this year we go slow and steady, going to fast is not enjoyable anymore since i missed some interesting things too see around me since its too fast to view whats around me, going slow give us time to enjoy sight seeing and have pleasure like a toursit in the city.
As we ride back into the town center the sun set down and the sky began to darken into golden orange. We decided to have our dinner in the open air cafe and some nice tast local cheese burger. I had few cheese burger, local friend rice with beef and carbonate drinks to fuel me for the next trip around places later. We had a good time chatting, laughing and watch people pass by beside the road in the open till the sky gotten dark. Its great top be away from home and computer for a while to let my mind free and express freedom and happiness outside than being confined in a close world. Life is short, so i max my life to the fullest by being adventurous everday.
Before we went home we stroll again round the town through every corner of the places to see what night life look after sunset. Bright colored neon, people flocking to restaurant and bar, seaside gathering, busy traffic, glittering people in the mall, and some people just looking around for opportunity at night. After surfing around on wheels we finally head back home. I really enjoyed my life today.
