Recyclists 2010 Real Ride, April 8 to 9, 2012

Bike and Save the Earth

      At 6:34, we said our prayers for safety, to keep us safe from harm, note the time

I was hesitant to join this bike ride for Real Quezon:   it is scheduled on Easter Sunday and will not be able to complete my religious obligation.  April 9, the following day is the 61st birthday and the celeb would be in a 5 star hotel and the payments have been made.  Anymay I made my plans that I would ride in the afternoon (no overnight again) or leave early at 5 am to make it to the l0 am departure for the hotel or ride the bus until Morong.

Who were there:

23 guys answered the starting gun:  VM, Luis, Tito, Ben, Jorgeusbiker, Gerry, Allan, Angel, Netoy, Jemrex, Jeffrey, Jayjay, Zapanta bros:   Armin and Archie, Tito, June F, Edgar, Papa Ric (they met us at Morong), Peter A, Smith (up to Famy only) Nolite, Master, Nanding,, Joel and Richard.

                                        Nolite, Gerry (ang nangaliwa!? Allan, Netoy

         Smith knows it wrong Who Does not Join (sounds Judas) so he caught up at Pisong Cafe

                                        The odd man is Jeffrey, friend of Ben, a strong biker

                                       Nanding would rather drive the team vehicle

Groupings were formed  so as not to get lost

The Recyclists were divided into 4 groups, l to 4 and team leaders were myself for group l (we were the host).  The purpose of the groupings were:   to support team members especially if there were safety or repair issues, so that the riders would be motivated:   if they have the same skill level, and to prevent members from getting lost (as was the case in Tagaytay ride where people) went to Laguna instead of going to Cavite.

The briefing was done at Pisong Kape,  unfortunately, some people did not listen?  Result?  We had a casualty, Netoy got lost.

                              First pit stop was at Pisong Kape

                                  No egg hunting, quick breakfast at Pisong Kape

                                 Groups taking off, we were the sweeper

                            Netoy was a casualty,  he got lost, the group system failed !

Pit stops:

Total distance of the ride as per Google maps was 98.2 km (up to town proper but 92 up to Baywatch)  Pit stops were at Pisong Kape, (pt 30 km) Famy (30 km) and Llavac.( thats 32 km but all going uphill) Up to Famy means going up Bugarin.

Ben, Master, Gerry, Allan, Richard, Joel, Smith and Jemrex Mariposa

                             Tito, Boy, and Vm

                            Almost near Llavac;  Ben and Jorgeus biker took shelter;  it rained hard

              Ben worrying about his clit, it kept getting loose; the solution was a screw!

                                       The team vehicle stopped because of heavy rains

                                  The rains just stopped suddenly, as quickly as it started
