 See the lady bikers;  she is fast and strong

The number of cyclists is exploding.  Many health conscious individuals maybe dislike the pollution in MM (please see blog site   Metro Manila Air Pollution Watch ) that is why they bring their bikes out of town and then ride up the favorite spots like Bugarin.  I saw a group just doing that.  I rode with them up to Pisong Kape.  They had several lady bikers with them

 Master said he was able to pull away from them at Pililla;  I slowed down at KM 58

Expensive vehicles and bike carriers:  Pajero and Fortunner

 At Lagundi  -  BANAYAR (BANAYAD - SLOW)

As I have told earlier, I did not join the guys who went to Tagaytay.  I simply wanted to bike for a short period and avoid the hot time of the day.  I wanted to be back by 10.00 am.  So after visiting the Sacred Heart church in Tayuman, I rode up to Morong.  At Maybancal, I was shooed off to continue biking up to Pisong Kape in Pililla.

After a brief stop in Pisong Kape we biked up to OL (overlooking ) at Bugarin.  I biked up to KM 66 to add some mileage.. Then back to Simples Lugawan, and stop at URS Binangonan and then to Smith in Bo San Pedro in Angono, Rizal

As we waited for other riders from Bugarin, and as we took refreshments, we stopped again at Simples Lugawan, we encountered other riders and they are from Las Pinas.  They would go up to Tanay church.  We had some photo ops.

                            Only one buko was left;  it was full of young coconuts when it hurtled off the road.

As I was biking down Bugarin, I saw that some railings were missing.   I noted that a truck was lying on its side off the road.  I inquired and learned that it was loaded with young coconuts (buko) lost its brakes and ditched off the road.  Its cargo of buko was stolen.

Reminder for us to always pray and be careful as we ride.

                                 You would not notice that there was an accident

 Ingat lagi, careful as we bike

I got a text from Angel last night inviting me to join a ride to Tagaytay today.  I declined because it is still hot today.  And considering my age.... And a cousin is about to be  buried because he died from a heat stroke.  He does not have a complaint but died because of jogging last Monday.  And it was hot...

Those who went were Alan, Gerry and Angel....

And the rest were wondering why they were not invited.
