My bike ride today November 24, 2013 - fiesta for Christ the King

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal  PHL  |  November 24, 2013

I took the Antipolo route this morning.  I left at quarter to 7 and was in Antipolo Church by 730.  I took some pollution pictures along the way.  I attended the mass.  The priest said in his homily, in relation to the Tacloban and Bohol earthquake disaster, that Jesus Christ is bigger than any of the disaster and all our sorrows.  We should keep that in mind.

I left at a little past 8 and biked to Morong.  I met most of the Recyclists in Teresa town proper maybe doing 40 kph. They were in two groups.  I was in Morong by 8:40.   And met my lugaw an egg, costing P15.00.  Then biked back to Angono via Cardona.    Since I had no one with me, I took my own sweet time.  i was home by 11:00.

Christ the King Celebration/Fiesta at Muzon today, November 24, 2013

Wheels of Happiness

Angono Rizal, PHL  |  November 24, 2013

I noticed as I started to bike to Antipolo before 7 am this morning that vehicles  were advised not to proceed to Muzon and instead rerouted to Baytown.  The reason, it is fiesta day in Muzon. Vehicles likewise going to Angono, from Taytay were rerouted to Villa Valera and Baytown for the same reason.

In Antipolo church, the seat of the Archdiocese, the celebration was even more pronounced.  Most of the bikers finished the mass, so did I.
