We rode to Tagaytay City yesterday.  We left early, we rode fast and reached Tagaytay City earlier than usual:

I was at assembly site in front of INC by 5:10  Pres. Luis, asked us Gerry.and I to go to Taytay;   Master E joined us at CME.  We were there by 5:30.  First to arrive was Ado and then Joel.  The bulk of the riders arrived by 5:45 and we had to wait for Gerry Y.

We were in GMA by 9am.  about 10 am, we had lunch at 11 am at Paliparan near GMA (near Wilcon) at 11 am at RJ and even enjoyed some Videoke singing there, and we were at Daang Hari by 12.  However, from Daang Hari, Master E had flat and I assisted him  We were in Alabang by  1 pm however it rained so hard and we were marooned until about 230.  At Alabang master had flat again.

I was with Master and assisted him in flat at Daang Hari (the 2nd flat) and at Alabang (at Belluvue hotel)

We left the hotel by about 2:30 despite the rain.  The wind though had subsided

We caught up with the group near Jollibee in Bicutan just before C6 by 2:45  They said Nolite had left for Angono.  We took off at 3:00 pm.  I caught up with Nolite at  the Highway 2000 bridge.He said he had to bike slowly because of the splatter.

I stopped to take picture of the leachate at the Taytay dumpsite.

We were in Angono by 3:45.  I dropped by Puregold to buy some drink.  I was tired and and thirsty
