Welcome to Mountain Bike Davao ! This group is a loosely organized bunch of laid-back mountain bikers based in Davao City, Philippines. We are not interested in speed and extreme trails. We prefer a more laid-back route, preferably with a short stop-over at a karinderia for some pancit. We can't compete with the 16-year-olds who cannonball down steep trails and fly over ravines, and we don't really have to. We'd much rather mosey along life's highways and dirtroads while smelling the flowers and the cow shucks.
Your bike does not have to be top of the line. It can be a frankenstein mongrel of a bike, made from different bikes you've stolen - er, salvaged - as long as it rolls and does not clank too distractingly, it will be fine. Helmets, though, are a must. It can be made of Magnolia styrofoam containers, but your safety will not be guaranteed.
