Wife of Pres Luis Genavia, Recyclists Pres laid to rest today

Wheels of Happiness

This post joined the family of Recyclists Pres Luis Genavia in having his late wife laid to rest via cremation at Sympathy Crematorium.   Also present among the Recyclists witnessing the cremation were VM Jun Vic, and Sec Noe.

I learned that the mother of Marisel was the classmate of my sister Dr. Minda in the elementary.  She fainted inside the crematorium customer area .   

Pres Luis had to sell his bike to cover the massive medical expenses.

May she rest in peace.  

Di natuloy Kay Biyang ride to Ternate Cavite, Kay Manang na lang... dahil sa rains

The proposed ride to Kay Biang in Ternate Cavite (boundary of  Cavite Batangas tunnel) did not materialize today because of the non stop rains since last night.  As for me, I had lbm;    had 3 before I left, had another one at Sacred Heart Church.

I came across a group of Fixie riders (4) in front of Grandspan. One had a flat, and could not fix it since they do not have portable pump.  I waited for them and said they would  just tag along towards Bugarin.  But since they have superior gear ratios, they left me at Pantok..

It was my hard gear today, and tried to ride up hills, including  Montevideo and Callahan at 44 x 17.  It was hard and I had to stand.  Near the entrance of diversion, I saw Jeff, Alan and  Pres Luis having a drink/snacks.  They said they came all ready from Pisong Kape.  (I started about 7:30 all ready).  It was 9:30 all ready.  Gerry they said and another one went up Bugarin and said they would wait for Gerry Then Edgard came and he said he would bike to Morong to buy a capacitor for his aircon motor.   The shop was closed today or could have transferred to Sumulong St.   We split ways near the old municipal hall and I turned back going home.   The trio were no longer there  when I reached the former spot where I met them.

Was home by 11:00 am

Recovery ride part 2 today November 5, 2015 up to Pililla Pisong Kape

I rode out late today at 7:30 intending to bike only up to Morong Rizal.

I saw a large legged rider with a Pinarello bike whom I learned later was Papa Rom and he overtook me downhill from Montevideo,   I passe him going up the hill near the school (near Papa Rics place)  I did not see him for a while even as I slowed down at Callahan.

I saw that at about 8:20, Simples lugawan was closed all ready so I moved on but then near the DPWH DE2 office, a green jersey young biker from Baytown overtook me on a sprint, however at the hill crest he seemed to slow down, and there I sprinted and passed him.  No one was behind me up to km 55 and then the hell broke loose at km 57 and the troop consisting of Papa Rom and the young rider, probably having speed of 45 kph overtook me.

We had breakfast at Hacienda Pisong Kape and there I got to talk to Papa Rom who is from Cainta.  Later Smith and Pres Luis, and Edgar 7 days came too. We ate and rode back.  Well they allowed me to lead the pack until Morong where they took charge up to bukuhan just past the boundary of Morong.  He had some white puto (they prefer the white but with an a) and then tinusok ng tinidor.  Smith paid for the puto.

Then he decided we would ride up the Cardona diversion.   I was ahead for a while and then Smith and Luis took over;   Edgar was following me. Smith had 34 x 28.  On the last ascent before the Crystal Subd they took shelter and slowed down and then I sprinted up the hill. where I was ahead the  until main highway.   Smith and Luis overtook me.

I chased Smith and passed me and nearly caught up with Luis until the last bend..  I caught up with Luis down hill until the Y in Binangonan, and then they took over.  We sprinted up Island gas probably doing nearly 45 kph.

We were home at almost twelve

Armin, Pres Luis and I biked this morning; long ride to Caliraya this Sunday?

Angono, Rizal   |  February 27, 2014


I biked this morning after attending the 6:00 mass in Sacred Heart Parish.  On the way I saw a mountain biker near Tagpos whom I chased.  All the while, I thought he was behind me.  I found out at Darangan, that Pres Luis was the one who was actually following me.  Then at Calumpang highway,  I saw Armin join us.   I stopped at Montevideo because I have job.  But I tried to bike hard and join their pace.

I learned that they will go as far as Bugarin.  There will be long ride according to Caliraya, according to  Pres Luis. I dare say that I lack mileage and endurance

Pres Luis and Nolite had solo flight to Bugarin

We have not seen Nolite for quite a while.  Today, he and Pres Luis came down from Bugarin just as we were resting at Pisong Kape.

It is nice to see you again Nolite

                               MTB ikers from Taytay like me braved the heavy downpour

It rained so hard yesterday morning; (Because of ICTZ from powerful typhoon Odette)  I was expecting only a handful would bike or none at all.

However the skies cleared at about 6 am and thus I bravely set out.  It rained again and amidst the drizzle and I gamely biked to Antipolo at about 6:30  am.  I was at Antipolo by 7:30 and I saw some MTB from Taytay, who just like me were addicted to biking.

We heard mass from 7:30 to about 8:30.  And lo and behold, Luis and Jess arrived in their MTB too before 8 am

After hearing mass, we biked down to Angono.  We were home by 9:00 am.

Chito crashed today, Pres Luis broke his shifter cable

Real Cyclists

                               Just a small scratch;  he fell on the grass at the side of the road

Angono, Rizal PHL

Our otherwise perfect ride to aborted Luisiana ride (it was raining hard when we were riding up Cavinti) was marred by the crashing of Chito -  he was edged off the side of the road in the high speed peloton.  He tried to climb back the high asphalt (about 4 inches high) and he crashed.  He had scratches but they were not bad.  He fell on the grass.

Pres Luis on the other hand broke his rear shifter cable near Pagsanjan before climbing Luisina. He must be able to shift because we were climbing.  Unfortunately, no one had a spare shifter cable.  They were able to obtain one, but the head would not stay (it was small) at the STI.  But Luis is strong and was resourceful.  We were able to climb the hills using high gears.

                               Gerry K and Chito at Pagsanjan;  he is OK

                               Pres Luis enjoying his meal in Famy;  he was not bothered by the broken cable

Recyclists's Children are Scholars

I learned from the conversations that the children of Tito Fabay:  two of them are scholars:   one is at UAP  Thea Alyssa, who is taking up Economics, and the other Ken Bryan, just graduated with Computer Engineering degree and will be taking a scholarship for masteral.   Luis daughter is also a scholar of DOST.

Sorry Tito my uploading failed.

But here is the link to Tito's email.  My Son and Daughter Pictures Email

Congratulations, proud fathers.  You have great genes to be able to sire geniuses and scholars.

Many Bike Addicts Rode Today, December 4, 2011 Despite the Rain

Bikers are jorgeus and have more fun....

It was dark when I left at 630 am.  When I reached Tayuman, Binangonan Rizal, it started to have a light drizzle.  When I reached Cardona some areas were dry.  But by the time I was in Morong, it was raining.  But despite that many bike riders souls braved the rain.  As a matter of fact, on the way back at about 830 am. we met a pack of about 50 complete with Team Vehicle, wearing black, white and blue jersey in Binangonan, Rizal.  Because it was raining hard by that time, we shouted, " Addict".  Hehehe.  as if were not addicts....

Here are some pictures of today's ride, December 4, 2011:
