Wheels of Happiness

Rizal, Philippines | May  12, 2014

This blog was first thought of as a diary a log of rides and all the thoughts/events, ideas that are related to biking.  It also serves as reference point with the partners in case the biking is doubtful or becomes a source of irritant.

I started out about 6:50 and and as usual said prayers at the Sacred Heart Parish.  And of I went. A rider from Taytay, who is the manager of PR gas in Muzon overtook me and I gave chase.   He said he has been biking for a while. I was sucking his wheel up to Montevideo and I lost him at Cardona at downhill.



Then I was alone and past Callahan two riders overtook me, but before the boundary I overtook them. Then at Namay I took pictures of polluting vehicles.   I arrived 7:50 at Simples had my usual lugaw fare, and then at 8:30 joined the group to ride at Pililla. They were:   Jimmy, Edgar,  Gerry, Choco2 and Val.  Richard, Jayjay and Chito went home early.

I started out early and biked hard early on because I know they will overtake me. I was ahead up to km 55 (that is up to Tanay intersection)  Then Jimmy overtook me and then Gerry but this time I stayed close.  They were no more than 100 meters away.  After we arrived at Pisong Kape, I took off for OL.  Angel accompanied me. We arrived at OL by 9:15

We met Master and Choco2 at OL.  We went down from OL by about 10:00 am.   Master and Choco rode fast.   Angel and I stopped at Pisong Kape but soon saw that Master E and Choco2 left.  We gave chase and could not see them anymore.

We rode up to Cardona where Angel had his buko and BJ. It was about 11.

I had to leave Angel who lives at Pantok by a little past 11.  And then I had halo2 at Bilibiran with Dong a MTBiker from Caloocan.

I was at home by 11:50.  It was so hot at that time.

I had to water the plants, bought pakwan at Wawa (P120) and crushed ice for home made halo halo. It was a tall order to carry a large pakwan in a backpack and carry the cooler containing P32.00 worth of crushed ice

Enjoying the refreshment:  pakwan and homemade halo2 is one of the perks to enjoy in this very hot weather,
