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.

Rode a bus to La Union; bus passed by Dau Public Market, recalled accident on the way to Baguio ride

Wheels of Happiness









This post went to La Union on business trip  via bus and surprise the bus after stopping at Dau terminal, went through MacArthur highway and this post recalled the accident I had several years back on the way to Baguio City ride.   An MC which was unregistered driven by a youngster without license slammed into the right side  (illegally overtaking from the right) of the bike, a Pinarello Dogma with a Bora wheelset,  hitting the carbon wheelset.    I and my bike scattered along the highway.  Unfortunately the justice palakasan system freed the youngster who caused the accident.    Despite the fact that the Public Officer were threatened by a Mun Council Sec who was with us, a lawyer.

Fortunately for me, I was able to continue on the damaged bike.  But eventually my bike wheelset gave way and had to be replaced.  

I now fear long trips due to this incident.
