Jethro Garcia, a duathlon athlete, from Silang guided us to the Mendez route
Post for the Lemery ride, October 27, 2013
We had a guide for this Lemery ride, whom VM Jun Vic met - Mr. Jethro Garcia from Silang. He was planning to have a Calabarzon fun ride and was maybe preparing for this event. He is a duathlon athlete and suggested a new route. It passes through the side of new Robinson in Silang and goes up to Tagaytay, 9 km. It was however very stiff, steep and unforgiving. He said it saved 9 km from Rotonda. The new route took its toll: Ernie Ado had cramps especially at the ala Olalia road in Antipolo. It was pretty steep too. Ado had to stop.
Eddie P, for trying hard all ready had cramps at Silang
Richard had loose clits and had to tighten them
The wind was strong

I think I did well in this Mendez ascent. I was not left behind. I overtook Nolite, Gerry Y Edgar. I was strong going up this climb. Except that I allowed the peloton and the others leave me at some points. I managed the ala Olalia road climb well
