I joined the training ride of Recyclists to Jalajala  today.  I left at 6:30 and Meong saw me and the soon to be love of his life a Mosso 710 arc with 105 5800 group set, RS 11 na wheelset.  We stopped at Jollibee and discussed the price.

I brought home the Mosso bike since it was being bought and brought out the Bianchi instead   Along the way I saw Vhen somewhere in Bilibiran.   Then we had lugaw at Maybancal.  We left in a hurry for Jalajala and we seemed to be left behind with Master and sometimes I overtook him and then he overtook me.  We caught up with the 2nd wave of the group at Niugan (before Malaya) where we ate buko.

And then on to Jalajala.  The first group of Alan, Jeff, Meong, Joel were waiting for us all ready.  I completed my 50 km duty by going an extra 4 km (estimate). They stopped near the cemetery.  We went back together from there and stopped again in for refreshment at Hacientda Pisong Kape.

Then another pit stop at Maybancal (no refreshment)  And then near  the diversion (sa P y).   where we had buko and turon and then home.  (There were apprehension that the P Y ride may be cancelled because of an LQ)

It was a great ride.  I feel I could handle the Vigan ride (all ready) at least the 100 km section.  Haha.
