Mr. Vhen Apran and I practiced today by riding from Angono to Morong, Teresa, and Antipolo. Unfortunately for me, I lost the missing link near the new Taytay Market. I had to do a scooter like ride ie pushing off with left leg and coasting along when there is momentum. Fortunately for Vhen, he rescued me and pushed me home from San Francisco to near M. Diaz. Thanks Vhen
But we had great ride. Going up between Morong and and Teresa, and Teresa and Antipolo. I did not have to go to 32 sprocket. Only 28 t. We spent some time at Antipolo Church.
Ride last April 22, 2018
Four of us rode: Reymundo Pactao, I, Jovencio and Jaime Maravillosa. It was supposed to be a 3j practice ride for the 1,800 km odyssey to GenSan. The 3J are: Jorge, Jaime, and Jovencio
Reymundo, I and Vhen were on the first part of the practice from Angono to Morong. Since Reymundo is young I have to keep pace with him. However, I mayabang tried to outsprint him at Callahan and Namay. Medyo dipa lang ang distancia.
Then Jim joined us at Pisong Kape. We were not clear as to where we were going. They changed from Jalajala to Bugarin and to Bugarin I went up. (Di pala sa Jala jala) But they joined me later on. Reymond was pacing at 10 to 12 kph and the two other seniors were left by about a km. We had buko at OL and then went home. It was pretty hot. And this calls for early biking time to avoid the heat.

Frequent riders Jimmy and Supremo

Supremo Armin Zapanta
I try to ride at least 3x a week. That will keep my Basal Metabolic Rate at little bit higher and let me burn fat while resting (but it gives me BO when the perspiration invites germs to grow. Thus I biked Tuesday, Wednesday and today. I will bike again tomorrow
.
On those occasions, I saw Jimmy twice and Supremo Armin once. But he climbed SCH twice He descended and climbed again and met him again as I was descending.
For the last two rides, I made two hill climbs (and they were not easy) SCH antenna and SCH. I went up SCH via gate two on a 32 x 36 gear. I did poorly at Eastridge. I had to dismount 2 x doing granny gears. The bikers from Taguig admired that I was able to ascend the final 100 meters up to the guard house without stopping. They stopped and rest and had to do cross stitch while climbing

Dala ko ngayon Fuji bike. I bought interior with 8 cm valves so that I can inflate the Cosmic tires (with 5 cm aero height) the 6 cm valve leaves only 1 cm for inflation and the pump do not seat well with 1 cm length of the valve. I bought the 8 cm valve at John Wilkies branded Kenda China for P225 each
I chanced upon this guy 10 years younger, who is from Pontifino Daang Hari, but who started out from flood way this morning past the Sacred Heart church. I chased him in Tagpos, overtook him and then he got close again and overtook me again at Calumpang, I chased him again, overtook him before the BCC, and then I chased him up to Montevideo, and successfully overtook him near Looc before the the Iglesia, and then going up to Queen Mary, I had trouble with my gears (loose cable) and he left me. But I overtook him just after Renaissance. Then my gears got loose again and he left me just before Namay. We saw each other at Simples Lugawan. in Morong He paid for my Lugaw and egg though
I was the first Recyclist in Simples, followed by Engr. June Francisco. Then came Meong, Joel, Jess, Nolite, Jimmy, Master
He is called Mambo, he said and his chocaran are from Taytay. His name is Charlie Lorenzo. He says he knows someone from Angono who makes taho
He and Jimmy know each other about sports, football and others. He said he is an electrical contractor, and does not like girls any more (those who are old)
He says he can manage hills at 20 to 30 kph (kaya?)
But his kuwento poses a challenge for me. But that means I am strong, because I was able to keep up with him or even overtake him (3x at least)

3 Js in a row met accident all ready. First it was me: Jorgeus Biker. Then Jericho. Now it was Jimmy.
JB collided and crashed with Allan in Jalajala
Jericho upended his bike on sudden braking when a car suddenly darted in front of him and he fell on his elbows and arms
Who else has his name starting with J?
Jimmy was hit/bumped by a MC rider from Pasig. They were riding with a group of ladies. The front wheel of bike of Jimmy was 8 ed. He landed hard on his butt and it hurt. The rider gave him P200.00 and a hug to make amends. He cried though
But the MC riders have to ride safe. They must be trained seminar ed on safe and legal riding. Jimmy said he was on his lane near the road marker when he was hit.
Every day, we see unsafe riding by MC unchecked by authorities.: counterflow at high speed., overtaking from the right, sudden turn without signal, Passing other motorists (us with only inches to spare) The rule says 1.5 meters in Singapore, 3.0 meters in Australia. (Baka walang ganung rule)
Anybody, every body could buy an MC for only P2,000 d/p. Anybody every body could get a license to drive MC. (no exams and no seminars) And what do you expect, chaos and mayhem. What else is new

I was left by fellow kapadyaks for the Lucban ride, I gave a chase and caught up with the group in Pagsanjan, with mere 30 km to go

I woke up 5:45 this morning kind of late for the bike ride to Lucban (a long ride 100 kms one way, 200 kms in all) I immediately dressed up (my bike and gear were ready since last night) and was in Sacred Heart at 6:05. But the security officer said that they left at 5:45 (the moment I woke up) and so I gave chase. That means I was 20 minutes late.
I stopped at Simples Lugawan. None
I stopped at Hacienda Pisong Kape. At Nenas the MC rider inquired that if I was inquiring about the same guys who wear my uniform, they left 10 minutes ago. That meant I was gaining on the tropa.
At KM 66 + about 900 meters, the Defender was there and Jimmy met an accident. He was bumped by a motorcycle rider from Pasig. Jimmy was in great pain because he said he landed on his butt after he was thrown away from his bike. His front wheel was misaligned. The poor guy was embraced by the MC rider who gave him P200.00 to have his whee aligned. That meant that I was closing in. However, I had my breakfast: had coffee and spag at Manang. And saw Jimmy with Meong at the Defender drive past by.
That meant too that the riders would ride fast at their pace. They would no longer wait for Jimmy
I looked for them at Mabitac. None
At Manay's Famy None
At Manay in Pakil. NOne
At Kalayaan None.
I was planning to stop at Kalayaan since that would be about 60 km. all ready one way. But I went on may be up to Lumban. Then maybe at Pagsanjan. That is KM 70 with only 30 km remaining up to Lumban At about 9:45, I was in Business Center at Pagsanjan. And I was texting Engr. June Francisco whom I thought was with them, Jeff appeared.
I was surprised as they were that I was there. And so was I too. I never expected that I could catch them (cold probably)

Ready to leave for Angono from Manangquil beach resort in Nasugbu Batangas
Pacman lost to a better more talkative fighter. Will there a rematch for even bigger price money? We are all suckers to as P.T Barnaum said and may be Bob Araum. Nothing is free now; only PPV to view great fights and even $10,000 ringside seats. Thanks to all the hype, events become more expensive
So we rode back yesterday to see the fight. We decided to leave early, considering that the ride back from Tuy was all uphill - 20 km and the heat would sap all our strength. So we decided to sleep early May 1, 2015, wake at 3 am the following day, and leave at 5:30
Most of us woke at 3 am and we had great breakfast cooked by the resort staff. Pritong tuyo, scrambled egg, 3 in 1 Nescafe, and fried rice - left over from last nights dinner of rice and sinigang na buto ng baboy
By 5:30 we were all ready. We left at 5:40 after the prayers. (Someone remarked that Nolite who used to rush people to leave was there - that was me. Defensively I said we agreed on that and it was a duty to remind every one of the agreed schedule)
