Friday night, I received a message about a Vet Pro and the current SEA Games and ASEAN DH Champ doing a ride somewhere up north. I asked Bolo if he wants to ride as I don't want to be the weakest link in the group. Bolo agreed and I knew that would be a lot less pressure for me, 2 pros and 2 n00bs. I picked up Bolo and the dude is still tinkering with compression, tire pressure , head angle, adjusting stem and so forth that caused us to be late. Weather is perfect, dirt is awesome. The pros are giving pointers and putting pressure to us n00bs. Truth is, to get better , you need to ride with skilled riders (with hernia since kindergarten). Gracias to Orven, Ade and Bolo.

Wow, you really like instigating Brian to a strava death match, huh?
Fun times. Real relaxing and great company (despite the two of you cock-sizing each other on every run).

Get ready for the next destination.

That last soil sampling is epic!

I got tricked into riding with some Pros before... Had fun that night!
My one and only ride thru the tunnels. I was even provided a light!
But, that was before 3 kids.

but kidding aside, Bolo f'n did an awesome job being his first time out there. If you see two asians on a trail, big and small, arguing and calling each other pussies, just say hi. :wave:

:cheers:
