Bike vs car? - bear misses today; God is kind

Taytay Rizal, PHL   |  February 24, 2013.

While in Taytay:

l.  Ben narrated the story that 5 km from Tagaytay City on the way home, about l:15, he nearly figured in an accident.  A Getz compact travelling at high speed in front of him (he too was going downhill at a fast clip) suddenly made a u turn.  He braked hard and swerved to the left;  he missed the car by a foot.  Had he not missed it, he would hit the car, and cartwheeled.  He could be: badly injured or in Hea(ben)ven.

2.  I saw with my two eyes that a black Mazda sedan tried to intentionally run down VM and his Pinarello.  VM avoided him and swerved to the right in a nick of time;  he/we did not get the plate number of the bad car (it is bolted to the car -  hahaha)

There are really bad motorists on the road and make our life very dangerous.

To Tagaytay on February 24, 2013?

Real Cyclists

Angono, Rizal, PHL  | February 6, 2013

There was a census taken by VM as to wheher we will join Cycad for their century (100 miles ride) on the same day, February 24.   I did not see the route very well at the thumbnail post, but it seems to be to Tagaytay as well.

I voted for Tagaytay ourselves.  Because we have to start at Quezon city if we join Cycad and that is where we are offloaded too -  too  inconvenient.

And besides the Recyclists will be swallowed by a big crowd and we lose identity.  Cycad is a great group, but their logistics capability, as far as I am concerned leaves much room for improvement.

So VM, Tagaytay on our own then? Details will be posted later or soon?
