 Engr June with Gerry K

Thank you Engr. June for coming to join us at Morong to celebrate the birthday of June celebrants.  You are busy for the week and this is the only time for you to spend the family and yet you chose to spend this with us.  Thank you so much  (my wife had tampo when I joined the group last year for the Real Ride.  She would have birthday bash at Intercon the following day). I chose to spend the birthday eve and her birthday early morning with Recyclists.  That is what Recyclists are for....

How does biking affect the local economy?  I think it affects the places that bikers visit.  When it is not a biking day, the places we visit are dead - very little business.

At Pisong Kape, we would have probably ordered before 7 am yesterday about P1,000.00 plus in terms of softdrinks, lugaw and sports drink, and banana.  At an average of P40.00 per, we would have bought P1,200 worth of food.  At the buko store, the 31 or so cyclists buying P20.00 each would have bought P600.00 worth.  That could have provided enough income for the  family for the day.


                          At Manay's we paid Pl,100 for canton and monay;  this excludes softdrinks



                                  Food and drinks gone in a little under 5 minutes at Manay's

                                  Several thousands more were spent at the hot spring resort

                                 P12.00 for a banana at Pisong Kape, masyadong mahal?

Taking of photos took much of my time and distracted me from joining the fast paced cycling which sometimes reached speeds of up to 40+ per hour.  It was a solid peloton and I was the only one left. And these were my alibis.

However, I learned that I they arrived at l2:00 exactly and was late by mere 2 minutes.   Angel fetched me and the site was nearly across the Max Fried Chicken in Calamba.  And I hesitated and I had to make a call to verify.

The large group of Recyclists riding caused roadside comments that there was race.  Indeed, it was sight to behold.   Imagine a large group of cyclists wearing the same uniform.

We are proud of you Recyclists!

We love you Recyclists
