Angono, Rizal PHL | March 10 2013

From Sacred Heart Parish, i just spun at 39 x 15 to 17 and kept up with the group or lead from time to time. I tried to be ahead at Callahan at 39 x 19 without standing up and was ahead (they just were conserving their energy?) up to Maybancal where I tried to overtake Jestoni, but Jestoni beat me.

From Maybancal to km 57 they let me break the wind and overtook me there where they said they will catch up with Jestoni. I was behind by 20-30 secs in Pisong kape.

In going up to Bugarin, I was very much in the chase. I was the third guy up in OL, and 4th guy up in Bugarin. Going down still was the 4th guy. But then I was up front from Sta Maria and up to 3 km from Manay.

Going back to Bugarin Tito stayed with me and we were the sweeper.

It was not bad ride considering that I had loose sprocket.

I think I am improving despite being a senior

It was pretty good ride and I gave my best to the ride. I slept the whole afternoon and I am sore all over.

Only Tito, Edgar, Jess, Prez and Luis rode up to Manay today in Pakil Laguna at 930 am today.

I woke up at 5:24 this morning and was late for the 5:20 assembly at the Sacred Heart Parish; I must have arrived at 5:45 and only Joel Jess and Luis were there. When we were to depart after the mass started, Armin and Master arrived. It drizzled a little bit up to Darangan but the shower was gone at Cardona and Morong. Edgar joined us at Cardona. We bypassed Simples lugawan as agreed and stopped at Pisong Kape. It rained when we arrived there.   I was 300 meters away from Pisong Kape when the rain poured. The rain stopped in about 10 minutes.

Then we biked up to OL where we had Buko. Then we went straight to Famy. I had trouble with my sprocket which is I diassembled 3 days ago; it was loose.   Edgar and I were behind from Bugarin and we caught with the peloton in Mabitac intersection.

We had 1 and l/2 orders of pansit and 2 packages of Buns for our merienda lunch. It was sumptous though. We left at 10:30 and by 11:30 we were 2 km to San Miguel and Jess experienced flat. We were at Pisong Kape by 12:30 and by l:30 in Morong.    We were home by 2:30.

One interesting part of our ride was that we caught up with Jestoni who passed us by in Sacred Heart church, in Morong, then he tried to pass us again near Simples. We caught up with him on the way to Tanay; he tried to pass again going up Bugarin; we overtook him and he caught up with us by 10:20 when were in Manay all ready.

That was a 140 km ride; 70 km one way. Almost same distance as Tagaytay. But we came back early
