Kwan and Yeap conquers Nan Shan Hill
New nickname, "Non Stop Kwan"
It was a test of endurance for several team mates yesterday when ascent Nan Shan Hill at 4:30pm. Sam was trying out his Santa Cruz for the first time after getting it repaired after an accident several months ago. All this while he has been on a Corratec Superbow which weighs much more lighter than the Santa Cruz. Going up with the Santa Cruz was a real test.
As for team mates, Kwan and Yeap, they have been stopping for a breather at the 2nd hut before the dreaded 60 degrees climb and I told them that this practice needs to stop. It was a test too for these two guys.
Yong, a seasoned cyclist has no problem going all the way up.
"Khin Khin Yeap"
End of the day, the final verdict: All made it to Nan Shan Hill without rest despite several vehicles tried to squeeze and share the narrow road. I believed it was a fantastic feeling for them and congratulations for a job well done.
As for me, yesterday's ride up was my 40th this year. Hope to break the 50 mark by end of this year. Here are some of the photos taken during this ride. More videos to be uploaded soon.

Yong, a seasoned cyclist. Nan Shan Hill is not a problem for him
Indeed Nan Shan is a very good training trail.....kum sia Captain Jimmy for introduce to us. If not all this while was listen to the rumor, negative & wrong info given by those pioneer raiders. And most of our kaki now consider very confident, positive & motivated in the uphill or downhill by MTB. Right ?
Of course the Passion fruit, heard that it help on lower down blood pressure, LDL cholesterol etc. I am going to prove it and confirm by myself taking a blood test on LIPID Profile on 2nd August Tuesday haha...wait for the news !
Pretty bad the Passion fruit does not work on me! And the result come out is hard to believe KNN !
Total Cholesterol from 4.2 to 6.7 HDL from 0.83 become 0.69 LDL from 2.9 to 5.3 Total CHOL/HDL from 5.06 increase to 9.71... The result changes from 2 months time, Fantastic huh !
