Posting another thread for our Pinoys joining this race next month. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite our fellow Pinoys based in Singapore to support the riders who are flying there to race. The 3rd off-road, cross-country mountain bike race organized by DirTraction! Here’s your chance to experience a brand new extended jungle trail and a first roll over the other knoll of the Tampines MTB Track!less than 30 days to go. Go Pinoys

It will be good for those pple who cant come and will be comming on what to expect from this race... We meet Owen and suggested it will be cool if you guys can also send a Gal rider I think there will be a better shot.....

Dilemma is she isnt working on her passport though she is a worthy contender. Again, sayang if she cant make it. Will Padyak Pinoy be fielding one?

perhaps ill keep logged on hete @ PinoyMTBiker when im in singapore to experience that event don pls post where you'll be staying. hope you can make it there (race event) and support our Pinoy riders. BTW, I've heard the Eric Feliciano is joining the Open Category. If this is true I am sure he'll be giving the Indonesians, Malaysians a competition. In case you're wondering who Eric is I think he is a member of the RP Team. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

rode the racecourse today with the padyak pinoy boys (ching, raymond, rey, ernest and others). the raised gravel singletrack sections are tricky. it's loose gravel and if you near the edge, it will crumble under you. i took a couple of spills because of that! the first and last sections are all like that so you need good handling and traction. there are also a lot of short step climbs and switchbacks. the "jungle" section is a little more straightforward- hardpack, some mud but some rooted sections. overall a nice challenging course. pics to follow once i get them uploaded in photobucket.
