Year end review of the Recyclists 2013 events

Wheels of Happiness

The year is about to end, and this site wants to remind everyone and to reminisce what we went through the year.  It was a truly great year.  The year was marked by several very hard and challenging rides.  It is now so hard to catch up with the Recyclists.  90% of the riders are Hali Maws.  They do not like to be overtaken.  Riding to them is 35kmh.  Their average speed is 45 kmh.

When you try to keep up with them, you end up stronger and a little bit faster.  Now I know I can do riding with the wind whistling at my helmet and my ears.

Merry Christmas

My bike ride today October 13, 2013

Real Cyclists

I left late this morning, 7:30.  As I have said, I had reserve interiors repaired by a vulcanizing shops. As usual, I went to the Sacred Heart Church.  However, I stopped at Callahan (near Queen Mary) and the zigzag, and at Namay to take pictures of polluting vehicles.  I posted them at Metro Manila Air Pollution watch  Nothing results from the blogposts but I have to keep on blogging so that somehow, the public sector would take note and act.

I rode up to Tanay and after making a round about, I saw Nolite.  He was biking solo and he said he biked to Jalajala.  He was inquiring if I met the other REcyclists.  I said no.  I caught up with him at the hill between Tanay and Baras.  He was just spinning and I found it hard to keep up.  I said he go ahead because I would have breakfast at Simples.  However by 9: 30 there was no more food left.

I looked for fruits in season and they were gone, just after one week.

At LLDA, I took pics of the waterfalls.  That was about 10: 00 am.  I was home by 11:00  and it was quite warm by that time.

                               MTB ikers from Taytay like me braved the heavy downpour

It rained so hard yesterday morning; (Because of ICTZ from powerful typhoon Odette)  I was expecting only a handful would bike or none at all.

However the skies cleared at about 6 am and thus I bravely set out.  It rained again and amidst the drizzle and I gamely biked to Antipolo at about 6:30  am.  I was at Antipolo by 7:30 and I saw some MTB from Taytay, who just like me were addicted to biking.

We heard mass from 7:30 to about 8:30.  And lo and behold, Luis and Jess arrived in their MTB too before 8 am

After hearing mass, we biked down to Angono.  We were home by 9:00 am.

Tomorrow we ride to Tagaytay city - February 24, 2013

Tomorrow, nearly one month after the Baguio ride, we ride to Tagaytay.  It is not clear where to assemble and what time.  But I guess, the Angono and Binangonan riders will assemble at Iglesia by 5:30 am and then ride to Taytay Municipal Hall up to 6:00 and then start the ride.

The ride will take us to C6, Bicutan, Sucat, Alabang, Daang Hari, Bacoor, Paliparan, GMA, turn left to Greenwoods, Silang and then to Tagaytay.  It is a distance of about 120 km, two way.  Just like going to Famy and back.

I stand corrected:  it is 150 km roound trip; 75 km one way.  It is a tough ride.
