Saturday Group Ride

These bikes make my bike look so ..... :-(

How do you know when there's a roadie in your MTB Group Ride?

We were not in Pulau Ubin today, so no, the answer is NOT that

he is the one who left his camelbak on the boat.

The correct answer is that he is the one who is concerned that

there is a very strong headwind inside the trail LOL.

While everybody was resting today just before entering the

Rooty Trail, Roadie Rio amazed and confused everybody saying

that we should not go to this fabled trail in Batam because

the headwind there is very strong... Everybody looked at him

and just uttered 'uhhhhhnnnnn....' then finally Ronald asked

the question that was on everybody's mind : How does

headwind affect you when you are inside the forest?

Roadie Rio then realised he's with the wrong set of people

and that I was the only one wearing lycra (but I had

my Fox Flux on!).

Anyway, it's been a while since the group came back

to BT. Also, most probably, after this weekend, everybody
would head to Pulau Ubin during the weekends leading
 to the 4hour Enduro race.

But for today, we went to BT, reverse Flowy Trail and

reverse Rooty Trail. After that was lunch. After lunch, Bal

showed us how NOT to bunnyhop to the sidewalk kerb.

Everybody then went to the BT stairs at hyper speed... and

although most of us could carry the bike up the stairs and then

cycle on forwards without any rest, everybody just stood

there ... still on their bikes ... and faced back the way where

we came .... hehehehe everybody wants to see the look

on newbie Leomar's face  while he carries his El Guapo up

the stairs LOL.... and while he was trudging up, he would

have heard lots of jeers like : "How is it?!", "You want to

go Mountain Biking, right?", "You don't want a light XC bike,

right?", "El Guapo is really nice, right?".  

If you don't know the guys I'm with, you'll swear you're going

to punch all of them when you get to the top of the stairs :-)
