do you know your fellow riders?

When I started mtb'ing a few years ago, riders were not as many and events were scarce. Whenever I see a car with roof rack (even without a bike) or a person wearing mtb apparels beyond trails, I'm getting excited. Those are my brothers. I bet the feeling is mutual. As events are few and far between, I would consider to attend those in KL as the scene is much more hotter there. Well, to be fair, up north were also a hot spot, but that's too far for me to go.

 

Nowadays, there are many local groups and local events are sometimes back-to-back every weekend in a particular month if not overlapped. I'm sure this phenomenon is not restricted only down south in my area, but the whole country as well.

 

While I wonder what could be the tipping point, the other more important question is, do we know each other?
