Hi Ivan, where do you stay?

sengkang.. u??

I think, you can only acquire speed in XC riding if you stay on the bike.
Off road riding requires some level of quick reflexes and techniques to handle speed, so take it easy first. Get the basic skills wired, test yourself with easier trails before blasting the real stuffs.

Leave Kent Ridge trail till later, if you're new to XC. B)

ok.. wanted to try the tampines one
but until now haven try yet

dun like road bike but like speed?

do a hybrid setup... rd/xc kinda of setup...

i guess impt is gd running hubs... get xero if ur on budget.
gd rolling tyres helps too... semi slick
spd

lol.. nvm
i not gettin new hub so soon
maybe next time.

We can go there 1 day.

I got a friend who stays at tampines, he wanna ride that trail too.

haha.. ok
but i must wait till i get my bike

Hi, me wanna go to but no one to go with. Sad. :(

Been there before a couple of times in the past. Dun expect too much from me. Me noob one. :anyone:

I'm thinking of doing a basic trail bike clinic at tampines XC trail for newbies.
should cover areas especially on descend, pedal & foot works, berming (cornering) & not so much of climb as i'm not a climber myself.

i would like to see a show of hands before deciding on one. Please also understand that i may not be qualified to give the best riding techniques but it should help you out on the trail.

if the response is good, it will not be just me giving the tips. Johnny, my brother will be there to advise & giving riding tips.

Mostly importantly, it's free. that's about it. Bring your bike, get your gears, & we can go. :lol:

i want
but duno when then can go
rather busy nowdays

Sounds good. When will it be? Cos uni starting soon. When it does, life gets much busier.
:wacko:

if we are going to pull it off.. it will definitely be one of those weekend morning. not to worry, should not take more than 4hrs in the trail.. :)

eh, call me can, when u go tampines trail. thanks nookie :)

lol.. u all is like abt 20yrs old
then i become like xiao didi leh

Ivan, do come join us and get all your questions & doubts answered.

No worries about the riding part cos the track is pretty simple so long as u r not the "cheonging" type, take it slow and u will make it out alive :devil:
