Wheels of Happiness
Rizal Philippines July 30, 2014
I joined the group of Jess V, Allan, Gerry K, Pres Luis and Jericho who rode to Baclaran yesterday, July 29, 2014, feast of Ramadan. We left at 6:50 and were in Baclaran by 8:00 am (they said we would just padyak padyak and ride2) I was not planning to join them and I said I would just ride up to Bagong Ilog owing to lack of rides and the just recovering leg/foot.
However, I thought I could join them if they would not race. So on the way we traced the route of: C5, then Heritage, Bayani Road, Airport Road, Villamor Air Base (we had pics in front of Newport City and NAIA 3) then Roxas Blvd, and then Baclaran church. The Church had few visitors/goers. We had our picture taking there. (It all ready posted at FB) Then we had breakfast at Jollibee MOA. That was until 9:00 am. Then we went to Christy's. We bought: Zefal glue (patches only P2.50 each vs P5.00 here.) We also bought Panacer tires only at P600.00. They would be about P900.00 locally.
On the way back we rode straight Buendia to Kalayaan, made a u turn at the elevated flyover at corner of C5 and rode down to C5 and Bagong Ilog, Pasig avenue, then to back street of Rain Forest (Legaspi) Floodway and home. We passed at MEG because Pres Luis would see Boyeth.
What are my reflections on this ride:
1. This was the first time we rode to Baclaran, MoA and Christy's. I had avoided doing this because I thought this was risky. But since yesterday was holiday, it was a safe and pleasant ride.
2. On a day like this, it took only 5 minutes to ride from MRT to the SLEX flyover. It would take ordinarily 30 minutes to negotiate this.
3. If you exercise your core muscles, even if you do not ride, you would still be able to cope up with well practiced riders. (I even overtook some of them) I do about 100 crunches a day, 100 push up and l00 step up a chair.
