23 September 2006 - MTB Ride
September 24, 2006
There were 3 things that made our mountain biking ride today really enjoyable.
1. We finally got the helmut camera working, and captured some fantastic footage of the trail, fauna and downhills. Unfortunately batteries ran out before the boys headed to scorpion! i will compile something for everyone soon.
2. I tried my new litespeed for the first time, and i’m in love all over again. Besides the brakes being a bit spongey, the bike really lived up to its name. Titanium is really the way to go.
3. Great company of friends.The crew today: Myself, Wayne, Andrew, Janice, Andrea, Ching yi, Hansel and Shem.
Game plan: Get more roadies off the road and on to the mud & dirt
Keeping their spandex one-pieces and men “bikinis” at home, the gang came decently dressed for mountain biking. Tehehehe…
We brought the triple A’s on to the trails today, and i must say for beginners, Shem, Andrea and Ching yi did a magnificent job keeping their cool. A couple of endos, but nothing too serious. I just hope that hasn’t scared them from riding through BT again. Congratulations you three! Well done!

It was a great first mtb experience for me! And mainly because you guys were so patient and great!
Hmm.. my count should be the number of bushes I fall into
Btw, before I forget to tell you, we are most likely doing Miami Vice this Sat, late afternoon/night. Will let you know!
