Wheels of Happiness

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

What are these MTB at San Carlos doing? Why are they being towed?

Villa Criscar, Adelina St, San Carlos Hts, Tayuman, Binangonan, Rizal   |  December 29, 2013

As we were having our Christmas party/get together at this resort/villa, were wondering as to what the MTBs were doing.  A lot of unusual traffic was going on the whole morning.

As the resort was going uphill, many MTBs were being towed by motorcycles and this was being repeated. many times.  How in the world would a biker would be lazy enough not to bike up by being towed up, and then repeating this process several times.
