ehemm.... whatsup guys.

i would love to share my first experience riding n racing in cikole. First of all, the place is nice and the people are friendly, seriously. The first two buddy i met was KiKi and Yudee, we went around bandung and to our challet known as Puri Tomat or, '
Tomi Parat' as Fadzlee would call it. Okay straight to riding... Very first run, Bully led the way followed by Yamm, me and Rizal. It was muddier than ever but thanks to Maxxis WetScream (also thanks to bully for convincing me to get it from WaWan bike shop), sliding around but enjoy the ride pretty much. We did a number of runs that day and this is what we got













.... rizal with his MUDDY-8
