Biking and health
Gerry planned a Tagaytay bike ride for today. He, Angel, and I; however when I informed the daughter of Angel, she told me his father is in Palawan. So the Tagaytay ride has to wait.
So I rode today alone, and saw Ben wagging his tongue, later joined by Archie up to Km 27. I experienced a low pressure rear tire and inflated it; and Luis came. So up to Callahan and Morong. As usual we had lugaw at Morong. The rest of the guys decided to go to Pisong Cafe; Chito, Tommy and I decided to go to Teresa.
I was good that Tommy was with us. Right before the last slope, I broke my chain and Tommy was kind enough to join them back.
We went to Antipolo church; saw a mass end and start. It was an exhibition of St. Pedro Calungsod and there was a beeline to view the image of St. Pedro Calungsod.
Tommy and I rode together to Richard's house; however, Richard just left.

Bikepacking post from CT to Durango

By Evdog at MTBr
If you are a MTbr here is one experience you must read about. First you talk about backpacking adventure. Here we talk about bikepacking: biking and backpacking. This is a solo backpacking adventure.
This is something I should try. It is not strictly biking all the way. But hitching is allowed.
Bikepacking anyone?

Made in China carbon fiber bike frames
Biking and health
If you want to see the latest from China, you can click the link. Many of US and European bike makers have shifted their operations to Taiwan, and then lately to China. Costs are lower.
However buyers beware. You may save a few bucks by going direct to China.
It is nice to know for your information and so that you can haggle/bargain with your local bike store.

How do you set up your bike seats when you have aerobars?
You set it as much forward as possible to have more leverage when stomping on the pedals...

`New Motivation
Biking and health
The Armstrong doping case laid to waste all his books and tips on cycling; likewise his coach pointers I think did not count. Doping and drugs worked.
So why not a book on doping.
Ben proposed that the new motivation be changed from "Alak pa alak pa" by Alak man Ado who is now in Pangasinan into something cheesy. He noticed how Papa Ric, who at 80 bikes well. He wags his tongue.
So Ben proposed to do likewise and shout: "P..."
Well, you can buy Alak anytime anywhere, but as for P....?
Look at Papa Ric's tongue

Our bike ride today to Jajajala October 21`, 2012
Biking and health
I would say it is was a great hard furious ride.
Joel, Jeff and I (3 Js) + Master Edwin met at Pag asa pa Y thinking we were ahead of others. When I called up Luis at 620, he said they were in Mambog. We had to bike fast to catch up. I tried to lead the way`up to Callahan, when Joel, Jeff and Edgar overtook.
Jeff had a flat near the market and we had `to assist him. We arrived at Simples at around 720. Those were there: Luis, Papa Ric, Tommy, VM, Nolite, Tito, Gerry Cataps, Thirdkill, Ado, Ben, Archie, Armin, Choco2, Chito F, Jess.
Noticeably absent: Schmitt, June F, Amigo,
We had quick breakfast of Lugaw with egg; we quickly left at 720. I paced from Morong until I was attacked at Km 54. We arrived at Pisong Kape at 7:30.
We are at Bugarin by 830. I was left behind because I bought BJ.
At Mabitac, I saw Jeff had another flat tire. I lent him my spare interior. We are at rendezvous point by 910 and ate Lomi. I spent only PHP 20 for this. From Mabitac highway to Lomi Haus, it was raining. A fun day to ride. We left Lomi Haus by 9:30
From after the bridge, I paced until near Punta when I gave up the effort. ` My thighs were burning. I rode and spun with Ado and exchanged stories from near Punta up to Jalajala. We were there at about 11:00.
Lo and behold we were not the last: Luis and Jess, Gerry, Edgar and Papa Ric came later.
We had refreshment: water and juice. We took at about 11:45. It rained again at Quisao at past 12. No one stopped; I guess every one was hungry.` The scheduled food stop was at Tanay, but then everybody's tank was empty and we had to eat at Pisong Kape. Boy, everybody was hungry.
We took off at 1 pm. I again joined the lead pack but surrendered at km 51. We arrived at Simples by 1:30 and rested. We waited for Ben, Papa Ric, Edgar, and Luis.
We were home by 2:40.
Great ride.

Gerry and I biked today to Jalajala Municipal Building
Biking and health
My legs are still stiff and hard, after yesterday's ride to Jalajala (km 72) yesterday. I rode with Gerry Cataps to train for the November ride to Atimonan. We tried to maintain a speed of 25 kmh and always hovered at 32 kmh, which is pretty fast.
We were at Jala by 9 am, and were in Angono by 11 am. Cool, isnt it. We usually do it by 1 pm.
Yesterday, I did a San Carlos using road bike (it is pretty scary; the roads are for MTB only) and that is up to the antenna.
