Rizal Philippines
March 3, 2016
I had a conversation with Edgar "Idol" Valdez who is from Cubao. We had conversation on the software company which he established and then our conversation drifted to biking.
1. Will the Recyclist have a bike ride this Holy Week? Yes to Baguio. Who are joining, Jeff, Gerry, Val, myself
2. What were his bike rides:
1. Centurion Challenge at Marcos Highway from Mang Vic,to Jarels Peak (that is all ready Real Quezon) a total distance of 164 km (100 miles hence centurion) which he covered in five hours plus. That means he did this ride mostly uphill in a little under 30 kph! Centurion Challenge at Facebook
2015 Centurion Challenge
2. The Kaybian ride via Pico de Loro then Nasugbu, Tagaytay, Silang and home base, 246 km all in one day in 8 hours plus. He did this at 30 kph
3. There is the Audax Rizal challenge. Vics again, to Sampaloc, up to Jarels peak, down to Sampaloc up to Shell and then up to Real, u turn and and going back to to Boso boso. Wow. Audax though is not a race but riding a predetermined distance.

The important thing is to finish before the 13.5-hour cut-off (6:30pm). Try to find a group with a speed that you're comfortable with for the entire duration of the ride.

For your guidance, please see cue sheet. This google earth map photo shows the route. Sequence is: dark blue arrows, sky blue arrows, purple arrows and then red arrows going back. I will NOT distribute copies of these 2 documents prior to the ride anymore to save on paper (we need to do our share for the environment). If you need a copy of the cue sheet, please let me know in advance so we can provide you one.
Registration Options:
1) Advance Registration (highly recommended to avoid the rush prior to the ride). There are 2 options to do this: a) Register Online OR b) Download and accomplish the registration form. Make sure it is properly filled up and signed. Deposit the registration fee of Php 500 that goes to the preparation costs, brevet cards and accreditation dues for Audax Club Parisien (we paid 2,134.45 Euros in January 2016). You can deposit the registration fee to the following account: Account Name - Carmela Patricia S. Pearson; BPI Account #: 0420-0051-05. Email your accomplished registration form and the scanned deposit slip of your registration fee to cvserina@gmail.com.
