Kuching - Sun 13th Feb 2011
I just realized that I did not post any blogs in 2010.
More than a year have past and changes were the only norm.
First of all, most of my riding buddies have gone AWOL. Time is what they do not have. But really, if we sleep just an hr less everyday, we would have lived an additional 3yrs. Such irony to say we have no time and yet if we created time, time would have given us more.
Secondly, I have switched back to my initial biking
passion of riding a road bike. Whoever created the mountain bike did not educate and let the world know that mountain bikes were meant for the mountains. Downhills are what mountain bikes were built for, giving the rider that much needed adrenalin rush without killing him. Stupid but hey, let me tell you what is more stupid.... putting a full suspension mountain bike on the asphalt. People get wise after figuring out that they quickly loose momentum with the full
suspension as it is hard work riding them on a straight road. Believe me, they look funny as they try to speed up on asphalt with the full suspension.... copulate the bike why don't you. So then there is the hard tail mountain bike (no more copulating) but still heavy with those bulky wheels. Some riders then change those tyres to slicks but.... hello, why not get a Road Bike instead? You get the speed, you get the distance and you don't get mud in your face. So now I am a born again road biker and enjoying every minute of it.... Woooooo Haaaaa!
