    Here's some video of a group ride I did last week in the Talamban Cebu area. About 12 or so of us and you should be able to get a sense of what a group ride here is about ...And what the terrain here looks like in the mountains of Cebu...

    This is the guys that meet at the Petron station every Sunday for a ride ... Pretty hard core group here... It never really gets to gnarly for them ... I call them the Petron <GRP | Riders>
    My bike was running hot so I laid back alot and tried to keep up some speed for cooling AND my true ST riding skills are down a little bit after all the more HS trail riding ... So I was wanting to just keep outta the way alot ... I'm feeling better on the ST now after 2 weeks of riding it here again ..

    I gotta get the 13T FS back on my bike ... The 14T just taxes the bike too much when pulling off from a dead start on the climbs where I get stopped for whatever reason ...

    I'm still needing to get my plastic back on my bike ... I wonder if the lack plastic around the radiators is causing it to overheat? I have a HP water pump on it and that had worked well in the past .. Today I remove the water pump cover and found the pump propeller was loose on the shaft so I'm hoping this was causing heating up issues ....

    I really like this area here with the grass and hardwood trees ...

    I really like this climb and trail section ...






    A little faster pace here ...maybe 30-35mph up this dirt road ... That is my good friend June I'm riding beside alot here ... He whips me big-time on the MX tracks but on the trails, he rides his 125 2T and not the 4T 250 he races with ... So out here, I gotta put him in the rear-view mirror from time to time just for laughs if nothing else ....
