Last year, I was searching for a low-cost videocamera that I can use for my trail riding. I want low-cost because I don’t wan’t to feel bitter or sorrow when I accidentally crashed it during a trail ride. Something that wasn’t hard on the pocket but can give me a good specification and can withstand a little bit of abuse. Then, I stumbled upon a store in Glorrieta and I saw a cellphone-liked videocamera. It is a Kodak Zx1 and was priced at that time a little bit more than Php10,000.

Few days ago, I told my wife, Leila, that there will be a cross-country race at Tagaytay highlands and asked her if she’s interested to join. To my surprise, she feels so excited by joining the race (ahem, napasubo yata ako….:-) ). It will be her first race if she intends on joining. So, I told her to practice first to improve her handling skills and stamina and proposed to ride the malipay trail since it is the nearest trail for us. Thus, we set the schedule to hit the trail, and that is today.
She’s not that good on mountainbiking, yet. Afterall, she’s not a regular weekend rider and it is her only 2nd ride for this year. But what’s good is she’s eager to try it out and willing to learn.

I joined Rod and Tisoy, for its early morning ride (today) at Makiling-Rockgarden. This downhill trail at Mount Makiling inside University of the Philippines-Los Banos(UPLB) campus won’t be called a rockgarden if without rocks. True to its name, this trail are full of rocks! It’s not just a tiny bit, but those rocks are big. Big enough to destroy your bike or one of its component if you tackle it wrong. This is one of the few trails here in the Philippines that can give your bike and yourself a good workout.
