Survive the Sahara

ECC recently had their Survive the Sahara ride in October. I bet you all the photos taken then are nothing like the one below which is more deserving of the caption Survive the Sahara. I am proud to say that I am one of the riders somewhere in this photo eating the dust.

Stories and photos will up soon as I am getting back to mood of story telling.

To continue on photos that say a thousand words.

Does it give you chills?

Very confident biker. So close to the edge yet able to wheelie.

This photo gives you the idea of what is extreme mountain biking.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Last but not least. I wonder what goes in the mind of an extreme mountain biker before he takes the plunge. Please give me your feedback on the photo above on what is running in his mind.

Cycling photos

I am a bit lazy after all the work during ECC's Mtb Jamboree. The stories are in my head, but my fingers are not willing to type it out. So I am taking the easy way out for now. Photos that say a thousand words.

No, it is not the Malacca Night Riders but Night riders of Canyon Country, California. I like the silhouette figures against the sunset background.

I love this photo taken during ECC's Jamboree. Good timing in capturing the essence of the story. My compliments to niwla for a well taken photo.

What can I say about this photo? If you are a macho looking man riding a pink bike, this is how the photo will turn out. (Former U.S.A. National Cross-Country Champion Travis Brown takes a fast corner).

Cycling Distractions

Sometime you get unusual sites that is related to cycling. Like today when I was reading one of my favourite forum site, FakawiTribe and came across a link to Cycling Distractions. Mmm.... I wouldn't mind this kind of distractions.

Click on this link you'll see what I mean. Plus you get a nice pair of cycling socks if your submission is accepted.

ECC Goody bag factory

ECC Goodies bag assembly line. This is what happens when you have a clown in the middle of the assembly line.

The Environment Ride event that is this weekend is taking a toll on me. For 2 nights in a row, I dreamt about the event. Hopefull all will go well for our first big event. The stage is set, the play must go on.

Camelbak Podium Chill bottle

You may be wondering what is so special about this bottle.

I am one of those who will get the water bottle ready the night before the ride day, fill it up with my favourite beverage and leave it in the refrigerator. The only problem is that I only start drinking from it after about an hour into the ride and by then it has lost most of the chill.

This bottle by Camelbak promises to keep your water nice and cool when you are ready to rehydrate yourself.
This review on cyclingnews says the closed-cell double-walled construction of its new Podium Chill bottle will keep liquids cold for hours, even in high heat.
