Sunday, once again me and my buddy went off to the hilly country side for mountain biking. There are about 18 of us going in for 5 hours ride through dusty and hard pack trails leading toward hills and valleys. The trails was a bit wet and damp due to Saturday overnight rains and the weather is not that favourable too yet hazardous because of hazy condition brought in from neighbouring country bush fire. Visibility: 4km. Anyways that doesn't hinder us from riding.
As usually we go up and down, up and down and wave in through very technical path with huge obstacles, slippery loose cliff, big natural pot holes and sharp edgey turns. My front shocks: 100mm year 2000 MANITOU SX didn't perform well that day because the damping chamber was leak and irreplaceble. Its time to change a new ones.
The longer we travel the more tired we get, exhausted but good thing our heart rate are stable and enough to pump our muscles to keep on going. They way we ride through the trails is like competing among ourself who got to reach the finishing point. Its is racing instead of fun ride because most riders in there have this road biker attitude.
So 30% of the trails before we reach the finishing line we sprint like hell leaving the packs like there's no tomorrow. Few hours later we reached to our final destination. I got top 4th spot 1 minutes behind the third. It took 30 minutes to wait for others to return back to our gathering spot. We took a good nice rest, pop-up few cans of cold Isotonic drinks and had a few laughs, At 7.15pm we load our bikes into the car and head back home. Once i reach home i clean my bike, wash clothes, baths, dinner and straight away head to bed...did i forget something... oh yes! website update! ....mmmm... maybe tomorrow..too tired...
