nice pics arnel!! sayang i wasn't ablt to join you!! di ble lets join yung DH race this April in Majayjay. You shouldnt have missed the SRII , brad! ganda place and superb race track...d nakakatakot sobra rocks...although its has long winding rockies...just choose the lines and there s no stopball My fault is that I let my guard down in a simple hard-packed downslope na may turn...came in fast, braked as I leaned in...bam!..full endoed and the marshal had to stop me for about 30secs to check me... I thought I broke my ribs..I landed on my right elbow with my ribs right between the full-armor plates..sakit..I got the wind knocked out of me (first time ever) ganun pala....Spartan! ;D Let s practice at Majayjay k. Im ok weekdays just let me know in advance , brad ..Maybe rocketman can go with us and teach us..wednesdays off sya

The owner used exotic parts ( I ll get the list of parts from the Bacolod riders)...like the lightest levers at 92 grams each, titanium and alum bolts, 4ti peds, etc ...parts to be confirmed Grabe ! Bacolod is a Biketown ... with more souped up Spez bikes than anywhere else due to DBS being located there . Cannondales are 2nd in popularity Food Trivia: Check out the yummy food at ChickenHouse (original. 1st location) and the uber yummy cakes at Calea Restaurant near Lacson Ave.
