December 16, 2007, one fine cold winter morning I embarked on the planned Christmas Ride with the remaining PinoyMTBiker HK family. Me, together with gang and tagamakati agreed to ride Coastal Trail + Chi Ma Wan Trail in Lantau and go back to Mui Wo via road from Pui O. It's a 35km plus or minus loop. Only the 3 of us coz the other family members are unavailable, being J_A_P still in Kuwait, Titose in Laos and Pido with family commitment. I've waited for the other guys at Mui Wo pier in Central while sipping coffee, braving the morning cold. When It's time to board the boat going to Lantau, I called Gang hoping that their taxi was just around the corner. They have 5 minutes to spare just enough to buy the boat tickets and go. But it was not the case. He's still trying to get a cab and tagamakati was nowhere to be found. I'm going on my own! What a Christmas Ride! This is supposed to be our PinoyMTBiker HK party! Arriving in Mui Wo after the 45 minutes boat ride, I've to meet up with our special guest for this ride (I'm not going alone at all) who made it to Mui Wo from Tung Chung without getting lost. Drum roll please!.... It's NVP!!! (who was in town at that time.) We had our breakfast at McDonalds after the bike rental arrangement. At this point, Gang was on his way to meet us 30 minutes later. He took the faster Discovery Bay Ferry and rode all the way to Mui Wo, and he did it in less than 1 hr. At the trailhead of Coastal Trail... The usual first reststop.... Back at sea level.... At the usual hydration stop at Shap Long Village.... Sorry, not much action photos yet, we are busy having fun. To be continued....

Pading Noel, What happen to your MTB shorts Chi Ma wan is the race venue of Action Asia pff road MTB section and very technical... If rate the skill level from 1 to 10... bikers skill must be in 7... Hope sometimes this year. when you go to HK again, put Dongguan in your itinerary. You're always welcome and we will prepare a ride of the year for you... ;D ;D ;D

Too bad i missed the ride last Dec 23 in Talisay as i was in Naga with Donskido Btw, the mtb shorts was not mine. It was really that worn-out from the very start according to the owner. It just gave in halfway through the ride ;D Check out the pics again and you'll see who's not wearing his mtb shorts Happy New Year Padi !

Thanks banny and gerald for that cool ride in Chi Ma Wan trails ... the view from the top was simply awesome ... another ride that deserves a special place in my memory book Thanks padi for sharing the beautiful pics ... looking at the pics made me feel again the great riding experience i had in Chi Ma Wan in the company of two cool buddies Happy New Year ... more riding years to come for everyone Padi, It's our great pleasure to guide you in our playground. But the real experience was having someone from PinoyMTBiker Family came over to ride in our local trail. Hope to see you in February, padi. I'm finalizing my sched so I can ride before the climb.
