                                                 Sobra kalawang noong Lunes at Martes


Although I sprayed silicone oil 2x on my Bianchi Freccia, the chain showed signs of rusting as I arrived home Monday.  On Tuesday, the rusting had affected the entire chain.  I sprayed water again (gagalitin ang salt spray further)  And then just as I was starting to remove the bottom bracket (ISIS type)  as I looked at the FB I saw an urgent PM from Jess urging us as per advice of supremo to service the bottom bracket and the axle hubs.  Di ko kaya ang sealed bearing. Sana Ok na.

I discovered too that the dust had caused looseness in the bearing of the BB and may get worse in next two months (due for servicing?)  I polished the races of the bearing with fine 2000 sand paper.  And hoped that the play will diminish.  (Diminish pero meron pa rin)

So far, with diesel and detergent as advised, the rusting of the chain stopped.  I hope others have serviced their bikes that came from Marinduque. Some fun, plenty of hard work after

Maundy Thursday
March 29, 2018

                                           Just arrived at Jess place, preparing the Celeste Green
                                                      table for our breaking of bread on Maundy
                                                                  Thursday


The Bisikleta Iglesai ride could not be complete without breaking bread together. After all, it was the time
that the  Lord started the Eucharist, ie breaking the bread to be done in His Memory. So we all chipped in
100 each to have a lunch of GG,sinigang na bangus, fried talong, steamed Okra and lot of price.

Thanks Jess. And then when everybody was full, and had  rested, we discussed the forthcoming ride to Marinduque next week end.

There were a lot of kapadyaks I met today as I went on a ride to Binangonan and Antenna using a road bike (the Bianchi Ultegra):

1.  Armin Zap  -  at Jollibee waiting for other MTBs to arrive.   while the BFP were putting out fire at Angono SaveMore

2.  Jess Verchez -  he passed by us;   he was not riding today.

3  Alan Astorga -   in Tagpos.  He was on MTB and would ride with Gerry Cataps;   I left him at Tagpos

4.  Pablo Tsinelas -  at Antenna.  While I did the antenna using the road bike.  I drew ohs and ahs from the MTB riders because I had high gears.  But I was able to reach the  top.  My lowest gear was 39 x 32.  It was a hard combination

It was the first time I rode a road  bike all the way to Antenna.Only MTBs before

Indeed I perspired a lot today riding up San Carlos Heights Antenna.  My thighs and legs ached and it was a real work out despite the short distance.

Yesterday, I rode up Medalva using the SAVA MTB.  I used 32 x 34 gears.  Since it was raining hard, it was a refreshing ride

Still strong at 66?

Of the six riders last Sunday to Jariel's Peak, 5 had road bikes.  I brought a Ti Sava MTB.  This helped a bit because it was lighter.

As you can see in the video, I was abler to keep pace with Jess Verchez.   But I was sitting down.

That was great accomplishment for me considering that my farthest bike ride for the last two weeks was only to Morong or Antipolo.

We just finished Bisikleta Iglesia today, Holy Thursday, covering 7 churches

Holy Thursday, April 13, 2017

We Rizal Recyclists riders, just finished the Bisikleta Iglesia 2017.  We started out at Sacred Heart Church at 6:00 am and finished the last church  Angono St Clement Church at 11:40.  We capped the ride with a lunch, boodle fight at the house of Jess Verchez in Villa Gloria from 12:15 to 1:20.   It was a great day for penance and sacrifice (except the boodle fight) to bike that long and under the hot summer sun (in the 30's)

There were 14 of us who joined the ride:

1.  Alan Astorga
2.  Jess Verchez
3.  Pres Luis
4.  Engr June
5.  Master E
6.  Ado Gonzaga
7.  Meong
8.  Gerry Y
9.  Gerry K
10.  Jorgeus Biker

12.  Jose A
13.  Richard Ang
14.  Nolite
