Rizal Philippines |October 13, 2014
My practice endurance ride yesterday, October 2 took me up to Antipolo Church and then to Simples Lugawan in Morong in Pililla.
I met a cyclists at Antipolo Church who hails from San Carlos City, where one of our businesses were located. He plans to put up with a partner from Angono, a motorcycles parts store in Baytown. More power Sir
I met Gerry, Secx Noe, and Engr June at Simples Lugawan.
I saw the landslide along the road going up to Beverly Hills as result of heavy rains last Saturday. It is interesting to note that I now pass MTBs and other road bikers going up Antipolo. There was one who passed me but I caught up with him past Beverly Hills.
There are several interesting anecdotes about catching up with younger bikers:
1. Going up Robinson from Antipolo I got side by side and even passed him at times; he was wearing a Sky uniform. Going downhill though, I let him ahead, although I was able to cut his lead on curves.
2. From Teresa to San Guillermo, I drafted behind a TT cyclist; I overtook him up to the crest of the hill. He was much younger. I proved that a good TT bike can be overtaken by a well practiced rider. Again, going down from San Guillermo, I let him get away from me
3. There was another one whom I tried to gap, another TT from Baras Tanay hil. I was not successful in passing him but he was within striking distance of 30 meters up to Pililla. By that time I was toasted.
We can be fit at any age.
