Mountain Biking...freespirited, and not-so-complicated fun

MaxBuwaya,

Recommendation: Pick it up again! One is never too old to pick up a bike and feel young again. Almost like having a new girl hehehe....

Re your question, sa konting alam ko lang, Shimano Deore XTR is the best gearset money can buy right now. It can set you back 40-50K, or over US$800 (tama ba guys?)

BlackMagic has the LX circa '97 on his bike btw.

Tires, if you're talking the best, depende siguro sa application. I don't know anything about slicks or semi-slicks, but am happy with my Michellin cross-country tires and my Kenda Kinetics heavy-duty off-road tires.

Browse through a copy of Mountain Bike Action or go to their website at

www.mbaction.com

you'll be awed by what they put on bikes these days

pure blue,

welcome na welcome ka sumama kahit kanino sa amin! kami pa lang ni BlackMagic ang nagsama dito, our man Kimpoy in pampanga hopefully is next (may babyback ribs yun!).

whether you're male or female, young or old, single or married, all that matters is you enjoy mountain biking, fresh air, good scenery, good company, have the time and most importantly, can pump those legs...sana mag-join ka na sa amin.

nag-laline up na kami ng mga destinations, binangit na ni BlackMagic yung iba ;)

Kishyn,

don't want to disappoint you but the UP Diliman run is basically a conditioning exercise...the oval, some a cool zigzag downhill and some minor uphill challenges, and no real trails to speak of. but for the most part, the air there is clear with some interesting views on two legs once in a while ;)

san mateo is the trail destination I'm considering and a friend kind enough to invite me along, is just waiting for a signal...nakakahiya lang, mga long-distance trailers na kasi sila. pero ewan ko ha, tanongin ko siya uli kung puede mag-exploratory trail lang ang mga newbie katulad ko hehehe...doon naman, saturdays ang pulongan sa san mateo. balak ko sa Saturday the 26th of July.

please tell me who's interested para ma coordinate ko.

this sunday, will try my best kasi mang gagaling pa ako sa Visayas, but will try to be back by Saturday.

BlackMagic, Sunday ulit? Kishyn? True Blue & co.? 06:30-07:00 ang rendezvous

Kimpoy u know you're always welcome dude. huwag ka mag-alala. Punta din kami dyan sa SF soon!

ok! asthmatic din ako noong bata pa ako, kaya alam ko ang hirap nyan but don't worry, mga macho-men sila BlackMagic and co. kayang-kaya kayong kargahin ;)

usually, allergy or stress-related causes ang asthma (hika right?), do you know what causes your attacks? just curious pure_blue

if stress, we'll keep that to a minimum, no one is pressured by BlackMagic or me to do everything we want to do. Pag medyo pagod ka na, sit down, smell the roses, watch the tai-chi peeps, marami-raming distractions din sa UP oval on Sundays
