Peter A in his elements

Si Peter Anonuevo panay ang tanong kung may salunga yesterday sa Tagaytay. Of course there were. The most challenging one was before PNPA. The rest of the way it was easy. It was a 22 km ride all the way from Balibago. Sta Rosa. It took me nearly one hour from Balibago to PNPA

I was hesitant to ride this, because of many tall stories from other riders. May heartbreak hill daw (may be that is the long climb up before PNPA) And Joel said that when they rode it, he had to use his 44 gears (naglakad)

As for me, the frequent SCH practice ride using a road bike helped. I did not have to use 39 x 32. All that I used were 39 x 19 to 23

I did not suffer nor feel any distress as when climbing up Tagaytay via Aguinaldo highway.

Nauna nga ako eh. Nainip ako waiting for them for at least 30 minutes (some 2 km from the public market) There were 4 whom we waited for being behind.

The other thing is when you bike in this place, you seem to be transported to another place. One with nature and with all modern amenities. Wow

As if you were re in Shang ri la

Today I left early about 5:45 to bike to Jalajala and I managed to be at Sacred Heart Church by 6:00 am. I was in Morong by 6:50 and found Master E having finished his lugaw. Then Joel arrived and then Peter Anonuevo and his companion Arnel. (Arnel is a retired Meralco employee; his second wife just died from her sleep 40 days ago). Peter Anonuevo who just alighted from a tanker (he is a seaman, its good he was in the Pakistan tanker that exploded that killed more than a 100)

Peter visited the following churches but were all closed this morning: Baras, Tanay and Pililla. It was Bisita Iglesia once again. We stopped in Pisong Kape where Peter treated me and Arnel to Saging na Saba and gatorade. And then I went on my sojourn to complete my ride to Jalajala. I rode another 20 km out and back to Pisong Kape. It took me more than an hour to complete that. The 20 km is as far as the Carabao dairy plant. (some 2 km+ from the town proper)

I was back in Pisong Kape by 11 am, had coffee until 11:30. It was as I judged very hot. I was in Cardona by 12:00 and home by 1:00 pm. I was relatively faster compared to the Tuesday century run to Mabitac

Bike ride a day keeps the doctor away

Wheels of Happiness

I had my recovery run today (after the Laguna loop/Victoria Laguna ride) to Morong Rizal I met about a dozen riders today on the road and 3 of them are Recyclists: Abet, Edgar, Rommel Unidad, and Tito Fabay.

I started at 6:30 am and was in the office by 8:30 am

Not riding but on the way to Binangonan Convention Center was Peter Anonuevo. I think I heard him greet me and he was a blur at 40 kmh. And then I biked back to talk to him

Recyclist bike ride today September 1, 2013

Real Cyclists

September l, 2013

                                  Choco2 joined me in Darangan at 6:38

It is Sunday, as usual there is a regular all out bike ride today by Recyclists. I left at 6: 10 this morning and said a little prayer at Sacred Heart Parish. When I reached Darangan, Choco2 was there and as I stopped to take pollution pictures but he wont. Past the Binangonan Convention Center, Richard came; I took some more pictures; then we climbed Mambog. I even overtook the 2 before the summit; but then my thighs burned, I slowed down and they were ahead of me by some l5 meters and then disappeared downhill. Some mt bikers overtook me.

But I caught up with them at Callahan; they slowed down going uphill. I caught sight of Choco2 and Richard and they were merely ahead by 20 meters going up Callahan. They sped away.

At Cardona Morong highway, I time trialled however again the Mt. Bikers were fast and good at negotiating traffic. We arrived at Morong Maybancal by 7:15 which was pretty fast. Choco2 and Richard went straight to Pisong Kape. We had lugaw and buchi at Simples.   Those who were there:
Master, Joel, Nanding, Peter, Tito,; then VM Pres Luis, and Armin arrived later. I met Eddie Pama whom I befriended. I met him before at 711 Col Guido and at the Bosoboso ride.

We left earlier (Eddie and I) from Maybancal. so that we could have headstart. The peloton caught with us at KM 52 (going up the hill to Tanay) We however caught with the peloton at km 57. Eddie taught me how to use the gears. Low low gears going up but shifting to l5 or l7 as soon as you reach the summit. Shift to 53x l5 as soon as you go downhill.

We were with the peloton when we arrived at Pisong Kape. Then we went duo up Bugarin where we arrived at 9:10 We had buko at Km 70 with friends of Eddie from Davao City.

We biked down at 9;45 and we rested at Morong by 11: 00. There was this lady there who offered us manicure. She said she is from Naga City and had 2 husbands who are old. And they are not good. She had 11 children.

We were in Angono by 12:15. He invited me to his house in Graceville to drink cold water and softdrinks and water and had lunch. I left his place at 2:00 pm. I learned that he lives alone. His wife and children are in   Kuwait
