Long Time No Post.

Oh crap.. it's been 3 months since my last post..
Reasons:
* We have been very busy moving to a new accommodation (moved 2x since November, 2013)
* Been a Busy father
* My Giant Escape's Front Tyre was busted, replacement is not available
* Too much laziness (to Post or to Ride)... I guess?????
* Busy with Planning & Organizing 2 races...

Anyways, since November 2013, we had organized 2 major races already (which is part of a 3 race series for mountain bikers - I'll gonna post it Later)..
another race is coming up sometime on March. details to be revealed soon..

meanwhile, late this January 2014, I had started another Project....

2011 Trek Marlin (Stock Parts w/ Upgraded Stem & Handle Bar) & 2011 Trek Rig (Frame only w/ Chris King Headset)

I have been planning for a MUCH MORE TRAIL worthy bike project, a 29'er Single Speed, which might start on July 2014, but suddenly, these Babies became available much earlier. (not to mention the irresistible deals I've got from their previous owners.
