My bike ride log yesterday May 11, 2014

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal, Philippines | May  12, 2014

This blog was first thought of as a diary a log of rides and all the thoughts/events, ideas that are related to biking.  It also serves as reference point with the partners in case the biking is doubtful or becomes a source of irritant.

I started out about 6:50 and and as usual said prayers at the Sacred Heart Parish.  And of I went. A rider from Taytay, who is the manager of PR gas in Muzon overtook me and I gave chase.   He said he has been biking for a while. I was sucking his wheel up to Montevideo and I lost him at Cardona at downhill.

Rizal Philippines  | May 11 2014

              It is a Ridley carbon fiber frame, with Cosmic wheelset and Campy groupset by Kapadyak Z

 Many best bikes were seen today.  Who says Pinoys cant afford expensive bikes/toys.  Posts abroad of Velonews are not just pics but reality for many local riders.

We can afford. Cant we?  Many Pinoys are prosperous (so are many bike jackers/nappers)

 JJ's Argon bike;  he sold his Merida bike to buy this great wheelset

Wheels of Happiness

Maybancal, Morong, Rizal  Philippines | May 11, 2014

I biked on a GTS bike today.  I did not realize somebody had the same white GTS bike parked at Maybancal however with a brand new Spyder helmet.

Richard inquired if I bought a new helmet.  I said no, I did not because there was no large size helmet. at Spyder last Thursday.

Lo and behold, it was not my bike.  And it could not read signs like the multitude of other drivers who cant read traffic signs, or knows them and simply ignore or disobey them.

See the picture.
