I was spending a gloomy days because of noughty work....
I needed to do something to refresh my mind!!
YES!! I got a permission from my wife!!
Let's go mountainbiking!!

This time my colleague form work (heh... no more work!!) bought a NEW 2005 Specialized Enduro 120!!
So I brought him to the mountain!!
Although he made many major crashes...He did quite well actually...
He has so much in common with ex-member smoker#1...
Gucci bike, Gucchiimported 4WD, smoke, plays golf a lot......
I hope he would not be like smker#1... I hope....

I had a great time riding but...I made two major crash too!!
Here is a report from Carbon

===============================================================================================
Hey Shinny,("aka the Non-Riding team member...") <=hey what did you do this weekend???

I think one of the features of Saturday's ride is that *everyone* crashed at least once!

The yet-to-be-nicknamed Soejima-san (is that right?) probably had the worst one - ending up with no skin on his arm, broken glasses, and a cut face. Leech and Phreddie both disappeared down the hillside off the track - Leech was almost invisible in the bushes, and Phreddie was so far down the slope, that Leech had to drag him back up by the leg (not the middle leg!).

Memento managed to avoid any major brain damage this time, which was nice. :-)

Other than that, it was a great ride: nice weather, and the trail condition was not too bad from the recent typhoon.

It was the first time I experienced did the Sengen-one car-shuffle, and I think it's probably no faster than riding up the hill, since we had to wait a long time for the drivers to go up, get the cars, and come down again. The only problem - those bloody bikers - they are so uzai!

Cheers,
Carbon

I agree with Carbon that car shuttling is no faster than riding up...
