                    The start and finish life of the criterium

I rode to Antipolo City yesterday.  However at 8:00 o clock, I decided to ride to Pasig City to investigate and take pictures of the probable cause of the last flood in Pasig Ortigas and Cainta.  However past Valley Golf (Gold) I saw Val beside me.  And he said he was riding to Rosario because there was a race.

And Choco choco was joining the race.   He said the group will probably ride to Rosario too. He patiently waited for me to take pictures of the narrow and obstructed creeks at Cainta and near Riverside.  We parted  ways at LIfe Homes. and took pictures of the Manggahan floodway and Pasig River.

And then I rode to Rosario.  I could not find him though.

I just watched the All Pasig MTB race which consisted of 5 laps.  The bike race was prep for the barangay fiesta on October 5 and was sponsored by Councilor Ricky Eusebio.

Rizal | Philippines  | June 22, 2014

The roads were filled yesterday with a thousand or more roadies from Pasig City who rode from Pasig to Tanay to do tree planting.  They had complete equipment and logistics:  ambulance, wrecker, motorcycle riding tanod, SWAT, regular policemen, Tanod, other MC escorts.  Their Mayor was with them.  They had two groups:  the lead pack whom we caught in Morong, and the the Mayors group (the tail which) stopped at Binangonan municipal hall.

I have comments about their hagad (motorcycle cops) which were dangerous to the riders.  They swerved, they bunched together and rode very close to the riders and sometimes cut them... Whewww.

They need to be trained.
