Just like I blogged previously, I organized a Tower 1 ride in LaMesa Ecotrail last February 27, 2010 for newbies. I don;t categorize myself as a newbie anymore but I’m also not an expert which prompted a decision that I have newbies as my bike mates that day instead. I posted a thread inviting newbies in our PMTB Forum and a lot joined and left messages. I was very glad that so many wanted to come along. We were actually 17 bikers when we started…

But the trail going to Tower 1 is no joke. You have to be serious, healthy and prepared with lots of determination and energy so you can reach Tower 1 and I ended up with just 11 bike mates at Tower 1.

Some had to be transported to the parking lot at the entrance because they can’t make it… So you see how happy these guys are when we all reached Tower 1. hehehe… Yeah Hard Core newbies, I have to say!

I seldom post photos of my trailing nowadays. I always forget my camera and when I go to trailing, most of the time, it’s just me and my brother in law. So when I organize a trailing to the hardest trail in LaMesa Ecotrail, surely you will experience a quick weight loss. What do you expect, the sun is scorching, dry land, very dry air plus all the ups and downs of the track…

See what I mean? In this photo we were trailing a steep trail, most of my bike mates are newbies so they decided to rest. I think I lost 5 lbs. with the heat of the sun! hehehe… Fantastic workout eh?

We will go trailing in La Mesa Ecotrail this Saturday. After months of no trailing, we organized one since we are getting sun almost everyday now. So aside from the adrenalin rush… I will have P.I.C.T.U.R.E.S. to post here… My blog has been very boring with less photos! Next week I will blog about biking again! WOOHOO!

Please Mr. Rain! Stop it already!!!! It’s been more than a month now since we had our last trailing. How will I lose belly fat if I don’t get the real exercise? I’ve been biking around our village and it’s driving me crazy. There is no challenge in just going around the same place over and over again. Nature is what I also enjoy the most during our trailing plus the bonding with my fellow bikers and the scenery. We are planning to go to La Mesa but schedule or weather is always a hindrance. I think next week, we need to offer eggs or do some dun dancing to get more sun for our plans. hehehe…

Aside from destroying most of the homes here in our country and hos destructive it is to the victims… I HATE, yes HATE is such a strong word and I want to use it because it’s because of Ondoy and Pepeng and Ramil to add, we can’t go biking. I would be needing some top diet pills, I have flabs everywhere. I couldn’t burn anything from just sitting at work and then lazing around at home. We were supposed to go trailing this Saturday at La Mesa Ecotrail but the trail is closed due to the typhoons and they are restoring the bike park for bikers like us so we need to wait until they do.The trailing in Maarat is not passable due to some trees that still block the road. Hence it is impossible to do trailing there too. Now my only hope of losing some flabs is the marathon I’m joining this Sunday with my wife.

I need some weight loss supplements nowadays. I am on a biking halt lately, then as I was getting excited for the weekends and then the weather bureau is actually telling us that another typhoon is coming if not this evening, then we should expect it tomorrow. Now tell me how will I be able to lose my excess pounds? Unlike before that I have badminton aside from biking, nowadays I’m a bit rustic with my moves, it’s been a year since my last real badminton game. I should really plan a great biking trip when the sun comes out longer… I am really itching to use my Marin!

It’s been raining for more than a week now and you know what it means?!? No biking for me. Damn rain it doesn’t want to stop. It’s been raining since my birthday, it sops for a few hours or maybe a few minutes and then it starts to rain again. Almost 2 weeks of no trailing, I’m getting impatient! My brother in law wants to try his new Ibis bike at La Mesa but the plans gets canceled because of too much pouring. 2 typhoons plus another one coming, I wonder when will this stop! Please give us sun already!!!!

I am already convincing my wife to bike with me, she’s been busy looking for the best diet pills for her to lose weight and I think she’s not fat to take anything other than do exercise. She’s sporty before, playing badminton and jogs when she has time or she usually do treadmill but after giving birth she stopped and she deserves exercise not to lose weight but to be healthy. Speaking of biking… We have an event with all the newbies and other members of PMTB, an Pinoy Biking Org online.

It’s been raining and no matter what we do, it’s not advisable to go trailing. So the La Mesa Ecopark plan is postponed until further notice. So, how to lose belly fat more now is up to me so biking at the attic using the stationary bike is an option but you see I also have so much work to do for work plus there is the priority of giving quality time for my family. My wife and I will also bring our son to the doctor tomorrow for his Hepa vaccine. We’ll see what I can do with my workout plan but I will miss biking for quite a long time since the rain is actually often nowadays. Bummer!

I’ve seen cool mobile homes online. I wish we have more extra money so I could buy a very nice one then I can bring my family to out of town rides. But since my priority is my quality time with my family during weekends, I opted to just go on trailing here in the metro. We will be going back to Mt. Maarat after canceling our rides for the past weekends because of too much rains but since we’ve been wanting to ride already, even if it rained for the past 2 days, we’ve decided to push through with the plan tomorrow! I’m too excited, it’s like riding for the first time since it’s been a long time! I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow morning. We’ll be riding for half a day and then I can spend the rest of the day at home with my wife and my son.
