Ride up to Welcome arch of Antipolo (before Beverly Hills) and bringing F10 bike for installation of new Campy Super `11 brifters by Jess V

Wheels of Happiness











This post biked at 8:00 am up to Welcome arch of Antipolo 9.3 km one way) (hill climbs practice:   Tower Hills, Marian Seminary and Fibertex) and then went down to Nieves Hills residence of Jess Verchez for the installation of  Campy from Sir Jun Vic (11 speed) to replace my broken set:  with broken hood after a car door opening in Pililla about a year ago, and broken padle last month

This post happened to ask sir VM if he had spare set (I heard he replacd bikes he bought and resold with Durace) and he said yes (that was last Thursday after the Bisikleta Iglesia)  He said he would have the set brought to Jess that afternoon.  

I told them I would bring the bike-  Pinarello Dogma F10  by today Black Saturday.   Unfortunately Jess said a Torx probably T30 is needed  Fortunately I have a complete set and went home to get the same.  

If nothing goes wrong I would get the bike by Sunday or Monday morning.  Great.

Finally the Pinarello would be 100% to be proud of once again.  

Let us all be blessed and continue to be a blessing for others.

Wheels of Happiness






In the lunch yesterday with Recyclists at Fort Sports, it was planned a round Laguna ride which will go clockwise.   With the tropa will be Capt Engineer Fort Flojo -  it will be his first time.   Can I go this time with the group?

It is a 170 km distance.   

Danger: warning re robbery (snatching) at DOMSA

Wheels of Happiness






This post got a warning from the Club Pres who flagged us when riding to DOMSA.  There was a snatching incident which involved the President of MTB group   Pres Ruben and an acquaintance.

So many incidents at DOMSA all ready:   shooting at resto resulting in death of former councilor;  a fire that destroyed many resto at the view deck, a bikenapping at Labahan, aside from accidents involving loss of brakes and overshooting the dog leg.   

What is the PNP doing?   No patrols?   Cant they do sanitation drive at the area?

Let us all be blessed annd be a blessing for others.

Bisikleta Iglesia on Maundy Thursday and met the Recyclists

Wheels of Happiness




Despite having just recovered from injuries at DOMSA two weeks ago and the bad cough from I got from the cold mornings, I decided I will do a bisikleta Iglesia,myself,  but decided against joining Recyclists  at Mary Magdalene at Pililla.  Instead I planned that I will visit:

     1.   Sacred Heart  at Tayuman
     2    St Bernard at Darangan
     3    Sta Ursula at Binangonan
     4.   Holy Mary at Cardona
     5.  St Francis at Macamot
     6.   Christ the King at  Muzon
     7.   St Clement at Angono

I really struggled at Christ the king 3 stops and walking the final 20% 50 meters up to the Church (Dito yata si Fr. Vitor  (who is a relative).  It takes much effort to reach the sky/heaven

Wonder of wonders, the guys whom I have not met for several years (I was not even able to join the Christmas party.  We had lunch at Fort Sports of Captain Engineer Fort Flojo...

Let us all be blessed and so that we may be a blessing to others
