I strayed from the flock today; was not able to join the Recyclists today

Wheels of Happiness

It is Feast of 3 Kings today!  Happy 3 Kings!  Are we still celebrating this Feast.

My children, wife and their relatives were going to Kamay ni Jesus in Lucban Quezon and would have lunch in Tayabas.  I was just told last night and was not ready. (that I bike up to Lucban to join them)

I got out late at about 7:30 and decided to climb up to Antipolo to hear mass.  I arrived there by 8:30 and biked along Roland from Cainta who said he works at  Shaw Blvd Crossing, and is from Parola Cainta, near the famous bike frame mechanic.  He rides a Giant bike with Durace changer and STI.  He said he met accident in Tayabas before (I said my wife and children went to Kamay ni Jesus)

There must be a hundred cyclists in the church yard.  Never saw so many bikers in the church in Antipolo on a Sunday. I talked to a lot of senior there and who thought they were older than me. They were surprised when they learned I was 63;   one guy who was 56.

After homily, we biked to Manga to look at the accessories for sale.  Conti interior was at 250 pesos, the gloves were 350 (mitsui and izumi pearl)  I should have bought my credit card.

 


Now think, I reached new heights in biking because the ride did not seem so hard.  By 10:30, I was at home because no one was guarding the house.  I learned later that my wife and children who were going to Tayabas, met an accident.  There was a big dent in the fender and desroyed tire;  a truck rammed into them.  They were not injured though;  just shaken
