STAR ENDURO RIDERS IN THE ASIAN ENDURO SERIES - PART 2
By: Ione Baron-Mejia
Four days before the Asian Enduro Series (September 10 &11,2016), I still have to "Marie Kondo"
my stuff for my flight tomorrow to Bohol via Cebu but i have to finish this first. Because this includes my favorite humans and the two teams that i look up to, Team FACE of TACURONG CITY and Team ZERO from ZAMBOANGA CITY. I wish i still have time to wait for the pictures from the other riders so you can meet them, maybe next time.
To the other star enduro riders that i wasn't able to include here because of time constraints, my apology.
Of course, the list of star enduro riders won't be complete without the champ, NILO ESTAYO. Too bad, he won't be able to participate in Bohol, he was injured last week. Get well soon, champ. See you in the next race.
To all the participants in the Asian Enduro Series Round 2, good luck to all of you. All of us, have prepared for this. We pray for all of you to be safe. And finally, have fun and enjoy the race!
