some pic from route 2 heading towards the 2nd stream. had quite a fruitful trail blazing session considering the heavy rain in the morning...it was good cos i could see the terrain we will be covering..from hard pack-sand-mud-rotten branches...good training route. but...its still not completed yet. here r some pics of the 2nd route.  the easy part of route 2  the trial goes thru here...this is the before pic of the plants.  by pass dis nice plants  dis is where it ended 4 the day! where is rookie...need his path finding skills!!!!

the 2nd route is starting to look interesting.with more pedal power n concentration needed on picking your way thru the jungle.  it was kinda late 2day when we started off (thanks to my sofa  )  but we manage to extend the trail a bit longer...but still a long way more 2 go.    captured these weird outlines on the last pic where we stop 4 the day......but it was clear when the pic was being taken. u can see tru the "outlines" anyway,dis is where we ended 4 the day...another batch of tapioca 2 cut tru..who noes what lies ahead.

wat a great ride....the wet weather provided us with a couple of water crossing n mud.. got ourselves filthy but had a wicked time. don't wear white shoes when heading off road....dis is the last time the shoes still look white!  had 2 stop cycling when we came across another little stream and saw juz how thick the vegatation was on the other.   tried using the bank of the stream 2 see how far we could go...but it was juz 2 soft after the rains.  back tracking after we kept getting bogged down by the mud.  water and mud can tired a person out. dis route was kinda hard....we do something a bit more easier the next time..ok lena_mx2k? |

it started to rain heavily about 2-3hours before the ride expecting a wet and tricky riding session. the mtbs  the moon is partially block by the cloud and the trail is getting more challanging from riding over those very muddy mud and wet slippery roots!!  and the small stream instantly become a big stream or small river!!  it is a great ride!!! |
