There is always a FIRST TIME in everything, for everyone … November 18 is a date to remember for me as it marks my:
1) FIRST TIME to Climb the "Wall” of Maarat with my 29er SS
It was a feat for me. As a newbie in SS bike, I think I exceeded
my expectation . Success for me is 99% inspiration
and only 1% hard work . The wall looks insurmountable to
climb, even with geared bikes. But if you ride ‘inspired’, nothing
is impossible.
So peeps, think of happy thoughts while you
ascend the wall, believe me, you will be surprised.
2) FIRST TIME to Ride with SS Rider gurus , namely King, Agu
(32x18) and Dandan (of Al-Terra Team)
I learned so much from these guys as far as SS riding
techniques are concerned. Agu and King motivated me during
the ride. And they treated me ‘nicely’ and ‘gently’, being the
newbie SS rider in the group
3) FIRST TIME in Roxas trail ( now I know why newbies shy-away
from this portion of the trail and I discovered it the hard
way, hehehe ;D )
Thanks to Dandan for his not-so-early warning on the deep
ruts in front of me It was a major fall … good thing I was
wearing my knee pad and helmet , I came-out scratch-free and
smiling … thank God I’m still alive !
I once told a dear friend I disliked trail riding and preferred road ride. But today’s ride was the first time that I enjoyed trail after so many weeks of hibernating from it
Anyway , i'm sharing with you the pics … happy viewing peeps!
This is for you Raul.
NVP, modelling the Pisser’s Jersey (prototype) at Aling Tina’s prior to his 29er’s first ‘Wall’ climb… a mission impossible...
‘Ambitious’ NVP in action … ascending the Wall for the 1st time with his 29er…
What could be playing on his mind ? Thinking of happy thoughts and happy faces … or imagining halo-halo at ….. .. ..after the ride ;D
NVP with SS rider gurus Agu and King , and France (bike buddy)
This was before turning left from the main trail to enter the Roxas trail.
NVP with Agu, encouraging him to push and push as they climbed this difficult slope. Thanks to Agu coz I made it !
Dandan in action , effortlessly climbing one of the ascents in
Roxas trail. He is at different level … meaning … HE IS NOT HUMAN ! ;D
King in Action … Hail the King … The King is back !
Agu in Action … AGU is truly a Strong Rider and a Great Motivator !
It was my first time to meet him and I was so privileged to enjoy a ride with him.
PISSer jersey in action in Roxas … after a few minutes , PISSer jersey tasting the mud … sayang walang pic yun e. That could have been the BEST SHOT of the day. ;D
OOPS, excuse me, may kalabaw … tabi Francis …
Francis who was on a geared bike (Giant NRS) was the group’s unofficial photographer that day. Thanks neighbor !
BLACK & WHITE 29ERS’ FIRST RENDEZVOUS … how sweet !
NVP’s white ON ONE 29er with AGU’s black SURLY 29er
Christma …SS TREE ;D
NVP’s On One, AGU’S Surly, KING’s Gary Fisher and Dan’s Cat Dragon....Pls take your pick.
SS Bikes (or giant BMX) resting at Ka Tobias … after a sweet ride … hopefully more SS bikes will converge in future SS rides … calling on Mat, JM, Bee , Manny, CherryBomb, Mt Guitar, GBB, Tabs, Raul … and Brusko ;D ...w/ his bmx bike
