My first maarat ride wuhoooo...visited the race site a day before the race which wasted me and my bike Fillin'up the tank before charging to the summit. A view from Tina's Eatery. After the steep and sharp elbow...woooh the sun's a real drainer. At the back is the Motocross trail and far beyond that I think its Makati buildings on the far end of the back drop just below the clouds. Sir Arci Reyes, just look at the background yum yum From left to right : Ronald Arca, Arci Reyes and 2 other bikers I failed to get the names... Before going to Giant. The guys, sirs Jonjon(blue jersey), Ronald(Green shirt), Arci(Red shirt) and the one pimpin' my ride is Paul. Hub's a bit eeky, sir Paul doin more pimpin', Arci lookin' out for endangered bikers hehe. Bow

The name of the guy in the blank and red short-sleeved shirt is Barry. He logs in as Snoop here in PinoyMTBiker.

Noted Kevs ...now I remember his handle (Snoop) when we shook hands. Eiwol, yeah Paul was with us, actually we just tagged along and you're correct he was doing practice runs and Ronald told me why he was called a Camel Rider hehe. Ronald sorry bout your last name I'll edit it, and yes will sleep early next time.^_^

Kaingit naman (am jealous).
Sir Arci is my steady and date. Why is he making kaliwa (left turning) me?
Cute talaga nina MountGuitars and Freeman and RonaldArca. Crush ng Bayan (hearttrob of the shoutbox world).
Nice shot capturing Makati Skyline below you. Makes you strive to climb Maarat again and again. Each time you conquer the Wall, you can always look down at the 8 to 5 working world you've left behind and mutter to yourself "Ah. Ah. Not me. Am not working this time. I am Free!"

oi sir drew,
thanks for sharing those pics of our last saturday's ride. its unfortunate that your rig got busted midway sa roxas trail that we had to go back to the trailhead. but it was a blessing in disguise that sir freeman was there to take care of your rig (dami pala problem).of course the trail repair 101 clinic given by sir freeman was very invaluable to newbie trail riders like us. now we know that you can tighten a loose headset using a rock and a twig....hehehe....kind of.
hope your rig is okay na, ride tayo ulit!

Kaingit naman (am jealous). Sir Arci is my steady and date. Why is he making kaliwa (left turning) me? sir rocky, miss ko na rin kayo ka ride and most important of all is the rest stop stories that always fuels us up. sayang you won't be making the buga ride, that will be our 3rd ride together sana. anyways let's schedule a maarat ride one of this days, kapitbahay lang naman natin siya eh (trans:neighbor only). your commonwealth neighbor, arci

Hello Sir Arci!
I was referring to the guy in the black and red short-sleeved shirt who was beside you in one of the pics.
I hope to ride with you guys soon.

sir rocky that's correct ah backdrop like that in your shot would surely crave for more rides to Maarat. Ronald's right you too should schedule a ride soon because its gonna be rainy in the following months, heard that there will be lotsa storms to come this year. yes that's me sir tofi ^_^ was the newbie who' eager to check out the race trail but got wasted in the process and so was my bike hehe. Sorry if I failed to take some shots of you & your bike and being with us. I'll make it up the next time we meet hehe lotsa solo shots and don't worry, contrary to what Ronald said I'm not tampo over you leaving me behind and me eating dust hehehe I noticed you were in a hurry and I waited for sir Ronald & Arci pa kase to bid them a temporary farewell. Eiwol its legit, sir Tofi was with us at Timberland for a while at least hehe coz he went roadrunner mode when we were back to civilization hehe Noted sir Arci Yeah, it really is great to have veterans around during your ride, thanks to sir freeman!!! Learned a lot. thanks! sir vic we'll meet again ^_^ sir Polpan and the rest of the gang cyah there But honestly when we were already pedalling upwards way past the waiting shed where the jersey were sold, I was already saying things to myself like : "Who the hell put me through this!", "Boy I should've slept all day or just watch tv and eat my favorite snack!" or "Oh my I miss my bed", "Who the hell invented bikes anyway!!!" "There better be a massage parlor on top or else I'll quarry Maarat with this bike!Grrrr" haha When we reached the summit, I told myself "Wooh was that easy!", "haha piece of cake, was that it? bring it on! kidding Lord!" and "I love the view!" was all worth it and I think I'll go back there this Friday (June 23). Well, hopefully, if I wake up early coz the sun at Maarat is like a magnifying glass with a small beam concentrated on you and you're like the ant!
