Wheels of Happiness
Rizal Philippines | January 16, 2015
I rode today despite very cold morning air. I wore a lightweight Specialized Jacket given to me by my sister in US about 5 years ago. However in Cardona I was all ready perspiring.
Encounter with other bikers.
Some MTBs passed me in Pantok, however I tried to catch up with them. I caught up with them at Calumpang road and of course they were no match for the small cogs of roadies.
Then just before Lagundi (it was supposed to be a RR (rest and recovery day) however, I was teased into biking faster than I was supposed to) I passed two bikers with GHillls jersey. I promptly passed them. They had TT gear and maybe they were for a show. They tried to pass me at km 54, however I dropped them again. Other groups of riders, mostly MTBs were also passed in a similar manner.
On the way back, I tried to catch up with a rider in Saxo jersey from Teresa who looks like he is competitive rider. I understand his surname is Pineda. Going up to TAnay and Baras Hills and even downhill, I was ahead, however at the flat, near km 51 he overtook me and tried to catch up with Mr. Fixie. (the elderly rider who rides a 52 x 14 fixie bike)
