Angono, Rizal, Philippines. Armin Zapanta's residence at Bloomingdale Homes. 12:00 noon. January 12, 2013. After riding to Morong, Rizal and Pisong Kape (easy ride at 40+ kph) we had the "Panigang"  at Armin Zapanta's residence at Bloomingdale Homes.  We waited for VM until 10:30 at Pisong Kape and then rode back;  at exactly 12:00 we were at his residence.   (By the way, to train for the Baguio ride, we passed through Cardona bypass:  JorgeusBiker, Neto and Gerry Y were the sweepers. Fortunately for me, I led the sweepers)
