Wilier Izoard XP - The Transformation

Over the past year, I have started a brand new hobby, cycling. This Wilier bike has brought me so much fun, and it brought me much strength and stamina from the roads. I have brought some upgrades to it and I am happy to share some of the pics that I have took every time I rode it.

Recently I have made a step forward to climb a hill near my home, which was fun and exciting!

Wilier Izoard XP - first climb up the hill

It has been a pleasure to gt along with new friends and bikers to get to the gold coast for a breakfast, couple with a 7km climb to along the Castle Peak Road.... of cause, I didn't manage to complete the climb, just stopped for saving my heart from stopping. But it is really a great experience to do some more exclusive exercises in a sunny Sunday morning.

Wilier Izoard XP - Debut

After a long week of waiting, I can finally get a better run with this new bike. I had a full run from Sunny Bay to Airport and then a return on the same route, total about 37km and I am not better more idea of how road bike feels like. Hopefully I will get better feeling with the bike later on.

After getting into this sports (of cycling) for 4 months, I am now more comfortable to dive deeper into it. And so I have traded my fold-able Dahon Latte. And I bought this Wilier road bike and advance to a new experience of cycling.

This is the beginner level of carbon Wilier bike, with Shimano 105 group set, and a pair of Shimano RS30. I plugged in my 105 pedals I was using on Latte into it and this is how it goes~

I have enjoyed the first test run in such a nice sunset Sunday. Hopefully I will be sticking with it for longer time and train myself up with the new performance of road bike. ^^

Sunny Bay - HKIA first complete attempt

Last Sunday I have finally completed my first attempt for the entire round trip from between Sunny Bay and the HK International Airport! 

The entire round trip took around 38.56km as far as my meter can tell. And this first attempt took about 1 hour and 51minutes, including about 15 mins that I was hanging around and took photos around the airport area. XD

The previous runs I did only half of the miles up to Tung Chung, and as I hardly had the courage and the breathe to continue the next half. But finally this is such a beautiful Sunday that I did this. I am hoping this route being my gym area where I can keep working out my legs~~

Running out from HOME

I joined a group ride with some facebookmates last night. But I was too late and missed the group. So I just hang around myself with the bike and this is the first time I am running out from the little island that I live. The trip was pleasant as riding with the bike to wherever I want to go is just so relaxing.

My Latte v1.1

Got some upgrades on this new toy.

The new handlebar, stem and seatpost by Easton. New tyres by Panaracer.

My Latte

Apart from all my other toys, here is come my latest one, which is relativly much more healthy! Cycling.

I got this bike a couple of weeks ago and this is a Dahon DAA612. It is a folding 26" MTB and I just got my first outing this morning. Hopefully there would be some adjustments needed to trim down a bit. And I would also need to do better physically to match with my friends' pace.....^.^"
