Some winter rides

[ChinaV]

Howdy,

Sorry that most of you are freezing your butts off in another China winter. Life here is tough enough, I don't think I could hack it without the warm weather of Guangdong and the 12 month riding season. So I figured I would post a hodge podge of pics from various rides from the last few weeks. Nothing epic, just having fun and enjoying two wheels.

Richardktm and I went out for a road blast to so he could check out the XTR in full motard form. Passing the usual scenery as we made our way out of the Peal River delta.





Happiness is a new bike.





True happiness is great corners to ride your new bike on.



The following week I was waiting for my new TGR so I didn't have a dirt bike. Weather was dull and grey so I decided to follow Richardktm and andy74rc out to "the pit", a quarry / refinery where we go to play motocross. They had fun while I tried to get some pics, unfortunately it was just too dark for decent photos.





Finally my TGR arrived





Watching my enduro coach, andy74rc, teach me some new maneuvers.







This hill is our nemesis. So far it has claimed one set of handlebars and a bit of pride.



That brief moment before you say "oh shit", this won't end well.



Salt and Pepper TGR's.



Cheers!

As usual, great pictures chinaV i'm looking forward to another blast around the pit when my ribs are healed! haha
See you in a few days for some wrenching riding and beers Rich

p.s. we don't have a wrenching icon or someone hitting something with a hammer to be more presice!

Rich, did you manage to make it up that hill. If not, I'd expect more from an old hand such as your self! What's up with your ribs, is a bit of osteoporosis setting in?!

Gonna try and get all set in time for CNY and Hainan. Probably get the train down hopefully with a new toy in the freight car. Can you speak to Tom and find out where we embark to Hainan from as I may have to pop by Yangshuo to pick up my kit. Could be a good ride down from there. Rather like the Beihai trip that lot did. Cheers mate.

Holiday week and not much going on at the office, the boys from Shenzhen (Richardktm & Mfpthebronze) decided to finally come by and pick up their bikes sad to see my babies go.

Anyway, we had some fun bombing around my hood, followed by consumption of adult beverages and swapping lies.

First day out with the girls...next time, just send the girls, OK?







Second day out, time for the boys to play.









A little time off-road as well.



I think we were busting Mfpthebronze's dirt cherry.



And he appeared to have things well under control.



Plenty of good fun... Happy New Year!

Cheers!
