Feel sick today but still go for riding, hopefully it can gets me better after sweat?

8 of us were riding, route today were Teik's shop > Proton > Indian Temple > Pipeline > 7-11 > Proton > Teik's shop, total of 20km, the trail just got bulldozed, the land is soft and muddy, my 2.0 tyre has at least enlarge to 3.0!!

Another true fact proven today, Top swing type front deraileur is bad when facing heavy muddy trail! :P
