Nagpunta at kinumusta ko si Edgar de los Reyes of Cardona Rizal  kahaapon ng umaga galing sa ride sa Morong para kumustahin. Siya at kasama niyang si Al Alegre na nakasama sa pagsalunga sa Tagaytay City ay hindi natin nakatagpo sa Bicutan Lingo ng gabi. (Si Al sumundo sa atin sa Baguio City ride natin early this year) Well I had update Monday morning from Pres Luis that the two overshot the Bicutan intersection and went straight the West Service Road to Villamor Air Base and proceeded to to C5 (or BGC).  It was very dark according to them and because Ed has poor eyesight, found it difficult to ride. Thanks God they arrived at 9:00 pm (some 1 1/2 hours later than us)

Nagpasalamat si Edgar sa aking pagdalaw at concern.  He was about to bike too yesterday when I met him

Only a handful joined the Tagaytay ride today, April 20, 2014; we did not reach the Sky Ranch

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal   Philippines  |  Easter Sunday  April 20 2014

                                   Look at the traffic, going to and from Skyranch

 

                 This bus  near 7 11burned and the fire has to be put out by chem fire extinguisher;  scary;  we abandoned the place and parking slot because we might catch fire too; or be hurt in an explosion

Maybe because it was Easter Sunday, we got only and handful of participants:


Jess V, Gerry Y,  Joel J,   Master E,  VM, Chito  F, Nolite, Richard A, Ado G, Val and Jorgeusbiuker.  Because of the traffic (and the burning bus, we were not able to proceed to SkyRanch   Jeff and Luis were with us at the assembly but did  not join the ride.  Val was not initially with us but caught us at C6

                         Richard leads the group in prayer before departure in front of Taytay Hall

                                 At Metrobank Daang Hari, the usual pit stop

                               Val, a cycling Pro (from the province) chased us at C6

                              Jeff rode to Baguio with 2 others last Thursday and Friday via Marcos Hiway.  Tsk tsk they had to walk past the tunnel to Green Valley.

To Tagaytay on February 24, 2013?

Real Cyclists

Angono, Rizal, PHL  | February 6, 2013

There was a census taken by VM as to wheher we will join Cycad for their century (100 miles ride) on the same day, February 24.   I did not see the route very well at the thumbnail post, but it seems to be to Tagaytay as well.

I voted for Tagaytay ourselves.  Because we have to start at Quezon city if we join Cycad and that is where we are offloaded too -  too  inconvenient.

And besides the Recyclists will be swallowed by a big crowd and we lose identity.  Cycad is a great group, but their logistics capability, as far as I am concerned leaves much room for improvement.

So VM, Tagaytay on our own then? Details will be posted later or soon?

Beautiful Flowering Plants at Belen's Garden Near Tagaytay City Rotonda; Beautfiul Eh

Have bike, we will help save the earth...

I saw these flowers as I biked to Tagaytay City yesterday.  As they are in Tagaytay, the price is stiff.  But oh boy they are beautiful.!!!!
