Biking/Cycling

sis diyosa, first time lang namen sa daang hari if ever..   we'll be coming from cavite naman.

wow sis vimz, astig ka talaga.  ang haba ng nilakbay mo ah! i didn't know may trails pala dito nearby.

naku sis, first time ko yun na mag-century ride. sanay naman ako na mag-padyak all the way pero yun lang ang pinaka-mahaba. akala ko kasi ganun-ganun lang. pero mahirap din pala pero doable pa rin naman. yung best friend ko kasi kung saan-saan ako naaaya na rides.

suerte mo may malalapit na trails dyan sa inyo. yung sa NBP ok din pero di ko pa yun naitry. hopefully makapag-ride tayo together mga sis pag ok na ulit ako.

[applec16]

^sis, san naman yung NBP?  Dami mo alam na trails! Hahahaha! kailangan ko siguro research mode for trails here in the south.

Yah sis, after you give birth, ride naman tayo together.

sis apple - hindi ako maraming alam, eto sa ibabaw ko ^ si sis feline, mas marami yang alam kasi super mega mtbiker yan. nakasama ko nga si rissa (sis feline) sa the fort na trail and la mesa dam ride with pmtbikers eh. super supportive yan. tuturuan ka talaga. pag kasi mga sanay na mga mag-bike makakasama mo, usually maiiwan ka talaga. kaya ako suerte ako nung mga early rides ko kasi matyaga si rissa, hindi ka iiwan. we must ride with her sometime soon!

which reminds me, rissa ride ulit tayo pag puede na ulit ako. binenta daw ba kita? lol!

here's a pic of me with sis feline13 at the mckinley trail at the fort. - http://kulitrunner.wordpress.com/2009/01/04/sweeter-the-second-time-around/

sis apple, try to sign-up sa pmtb na site. dun marami ka matutunan and makikilala na into mtbiking. saka andun makikita mo lahat halos ng mga trails na nandito sa buong pilipinas. kaka-excite. and don't forget pag nag-sign-up ka, may pmtb babes na board duon. puro gilr mtbikers ang nandun. ansaya.

[feline13]

ride na yan!!!!!

[applec16]

i'm a member of pmtb forum na..  and aware of the mtbbabes.. hehe.. they invited me to the la mesa ecopark ride last sunday kaso conflict naman with a family outing.  ayun..

rissa, you know that hubby is trying to replace my bike nga eh (from a size 16 to size 13 - he told you pa nga! ).  I just hope mabenta to para I can buy one soon.  I don't want to use sana sa trail kase baka sumakit na naman balikat at likod ko due to the wrong frame size. hehe..

for the meantime, ikot ikot muna ako to build endurance.  Para next time I'm on trail, i can keep up with the pros like rissa.

[caterpillar-girl]

Hi girls, I'm planning to buy a bike. Budget ko is around 10-15K. Any recommendations? What should I look for when buying and where do I go?

[applepink]

Hello sisses, kakabili lang namin ni hubby kahapon ng MTBs, ok na ba yung GT Chucker? kaya bang umakyat ng antipolo nun? hehe first time namin sa ganitong sport, sana kayanin namin hopefully makajoin din kami sa iba PM me if meron mga event or post nyo na rin mismo sa thread, thanks sisses

[caterpillar-girl]

I'll be getting my Fuji mountain bike later. Yipee!! Can't wait to test it out. Do you name your bikes? Haha. My friend named hers Draco, and another named his, Blueberry. Weird. I'll think of a name na rin.

[applec16]

^wow sis! padyak na yan!

[feline13]

haha..
i used to call my white Kona bike, White Cat..
then i had a KHS black bike named.. black cat .. hahahah
then the pink one.. is.. uhmm.. forgot.
how unimaginative.

[m_lim]

[nainaj]

ako naman gusto kong matuto magbike! 

may pag-asa bang matuto magbike ang taong walang balance? (ako yun!) tips naman po...tia! 

[lablab002]

im into biking now.it started just last week.hehe dito kami batangas.ikot ikot lang every night. sarap magbike kapag wala ng mga sasakyan sa kalsada.hehe

[Hestia]

hello im back again. i think i posted here twice and my last was around May 5. I can say na die hard na ako sa mt biking bur recently, nalulungkot ako hahaha. since we ride a lot every weekends, halos epic ride lagi ang dami ko ng freckles. i used to be fair skinned pero due to biking parang hindi na and problem is skin talaga ang kina conscious ko. I still have my tan lines sa legs na di na naalis, my biker's mark (super pangit scar, my one and only scar and its super pangit pa) not to mention 4x semplang due to cleats but overall my main problem is my skin. wala ba talagang die  hard lady biker na maputi? hahaha and kung meron other than sunblock ano pang means to protect and kinda keep ur skin color other than super cover up which is not advisable now kasi super init baka ma heatstroke.. what kind of facials ang pwede sa atin and what creams? bawal ba glutha sa mga mt bikers? specially in my case na minimum na ang 4 hrs biking and sometimes nakakaabot pa ng whole day? thanks

[feline13]

chose your rides na lang sis.
you could organize urban night rides too if you want. hindi nga lang epic at iba nga lang ang terrain ng "trail" mo.
yung pag darken kasi ng skin is the skin's defense mechanism sa UV rays -- better to have darker skin that skin cancer ayt? or get sunblock -- here's an article on sunblock which more or less just delays the process of the tan. http://dermatology.about.com/cs/skincareproducts/a/spf.htm

^^naku sis, yan din initial concern ko nung unang ma-hook ako sa running then sa mtbiking. kung dati "vanity is my favorite sin" ang favorite line ko. after running and mtbiking, slowly i learned to accept na di ko puede pagsabayin ang super vanity at outdoor sports. medyo hindi 100% na patok silang dalawa. pero agree ako sa sinabini rissa here ^. sunblock, lotions and siguro yung mga scar medicines like dermatrix ang magiging kaibigan mo. sa buhok nga wala na halos kasi di ka naman puede magpa-rebond or whatever. pero iitim talaga ng ilang shades from the original color. ako nga 9 months na di nakapag-outdoor (i got pregnant kasi) pero hindi pa rin halos bumalik my original color. well, somethings got to give yata talaga. pero di bale, fun naman eh.

[Hestia]

thanks sis feline and vimamm. iba parin kasi ang morning ride diba kahit na masikat ang araw. sa gabi kasi, doh fun din e halos pare parehas lang dinadaanan walang masyadong technical. ahhhh grabi na ang dapat i sacrifice sa addiction sa biking. I was even thinking of having a glutha IV hahaha (coz mabilis daw makaputi) e bawal din yon diba? things that u need to sacrifice talaga. i bought a bike trainer din kaso wala iba parin ang challenge ng trail. i tot of changing sports yung indoor naman pero di ko mag give up biking. Since i got into biking, dami ko na places I never thought I'll be able to visit, mountains that I was able to counter that never in my wild dream would i even visit. basta iba ang kaligayahang nabibigay ng biking.

[applec16]

^sis, concern ko rin yan..  laki rin ng initim ko dahil sa morning rides..  =(  why bawal ang mga glutha?  may effect ba sa skin tas naarawan bigla?
