Big Sunday ride!

Brothers! The sun was high, temperatures were warm and the trails were dry!

It was perfect! I rode 5 diferent trails in one morning!

Here's Pico dos Bodes trail at it's best!



RideOn!

Thank you, Stevens! Welcome Fanes!

At the end of our ride we were greeted by a Stevens Bikes banner in front of a hotel.

A couple of days later I decided to buy number 26 out of the 50 Fanes Enduro signature series. 

Those 50 frames were handcrafted by Mr Schlender himself, other than the Taiwan-made ones.

So it's thank you, Stevens Glide! Welcome Alutech Fanes!

RideOn brothers! Manny

RideOn in Autumn!

A nice adventure in the mountains!
Tagawa is filled with steep lines and great sections.

Momo did a super job navigating his Hardtail down some really tough lines.
I too did ok but had some trouble in a lot of sections.
I will continue to push my skills to a better level of Hardtail riding, hahhhahah

Bee-Man was happy to come along.
His new Jamis is looking superb but, he recently purchased some new brakes and while bleeding them 
got mineral oil all over the caliper and disk's rotor. 
He had a hard time all day as his brakes would not hook up for him and kept squealing like a little pig.

Momo and I gave him some good tips on home to clean and sand down his pads to help rid the system of excess oil. Hopefully this cleans the system and gives him a smoother ride.

This video is a fraction of the ride.
The DH itself is a good 30 minutes of pure descending.
I took a chest camera all the way down but decided not to portray it as it was very shaky due to the steep
rocky trail.
I might edit a chest version but we will see, hahahhhhahha

Please take care as the temperature drops.
Stay healthy and eat lots of delicious foods.










RideOn!

The Dog can get you!

Sorry brothers! This is about as close translation as I can get for the name of this trail, hahahaha!

This Sunday I had a massive, epic All Mountain adventure with 17 other crazy dudes who got up at 06:30 in the morning to meet at 08:30 to ride this foggy, muddy, windy but oh so fun trail!

We had it all! Tunels, big climbs, fast descents, water lines...you name it!

Here's some pics and a small video of one of the smallest tunels we had to cross!!!

This last cool pic is from inside the tunel while crossing it, hahahahah!

RideOn!

A New Location

Funny how I discovered this location. Someone asked me if the Kammweg video was from Luebbecke (which it is not, it is at the Hueggel), so I decided to find out what it's like at Luebbecke. The beautiful trails I found there can be seen in the Heidbrink video.

Happy 2011 Halloween!

In our town here in Japan, Halloween is nonexistent.
However with a little sprit every year I make the halloween atmosphere great with the help of Hiroyo for our children Sarah, Jax and all of our students!

This year Jax and I had a nice little ride in the afternoon and came home to a witch and devil waiting for us to start carving the Jack o lantern!


Happy Halloween!




RideOn!
