Rizal Philippines | March 23, 2015

The rain just stopped when I was in Daang Hari

Idol Ed Valdez informed me that he did a solo ride to Kaybiang in Cavite rode out to Matabungkay and rode the very stiff hills.

Why dont I try a solo ride to Tagaytay City?

So I left at 6:00 am after paying a visit to St. Clement Parish. I was in C6 by 7:00 am and in Bicutan by 7:30, 7:45 in Sucat and 8:00 in Alabang, 8:30 at Daang Hari and 9:00 at GMA corner Paliparan. At Paliparan, I chanced upon, (overtook a young rider) I was spinning and he did not keep up. I was in Silang town proper by 9:30 and was in Iglesia by 1030.

It was a day for adiks because it started to rain in Bicutan, and stopped or a while in Daang Hari. At Aguinaldo highway in Silang, it started to rain again.

On the way back, it rained so hard - really hard. I could not see a thing, the spray from cars overtaking soaked me. I had to stop in Silang town proper to check my cell phone and camera and wrap them in plastic. That was about 3:00 pm. At Greenwood, water from the highlands covered the roads and my shoes were wet from the flood waters. I kept banging my front wheel into ruts because I could not see them. Rain abated while in Greenwoods. That was about 3:30

It was completely dry at District, near Avida in Paliparan. But I had a flat tire. A glass splinter hit the tire. While I had a spare interior, it delayed me quite a bit by 30 minutes because it would be dark when I get home.

I was at Daang Hari by 4:00 pm (no rain), at Alabang by 4:30 at Sucat (the rain stopped)by 5:00 pm, at Bicutan by 5:30, 5:45 at C6 and at Highway 2000 fishport by 6:00 pm. I was in Angono, by 6:20. (there was no rain. it was completely dry)

I was wet and soaked all over though. What a ride.

What a ride.
