Did I ride yesterday on under inflated MTB tires?

As we rode yesterday in Lagundi Morong going home from the Wind Turbine farm in Bugarin, Ven told me that my MTB tires were soft (under inflated?)  I thought not because I sprinted several times and led the riders most of the way.  I gave a run for their ride.

Well I checked today early morning and the tires pressure front and back were only 30 psi well below the recommended tire pressure of 65 psi.

I would make it a point that I would check the tire pressure before riding.  I had under inflated MTB tires when I rode the PNP Binangonan Cardona loop race.

Super guapo and super macho pics of the MTB kapadyak I joined yesterday

These are the memorable and superb pics of the MTB riders whom I joined yesterday to Bugarin Wind Turbine farm.  I had to take some risk taking some of the pics while riding.  For others, I have to ride ahead and wait for the riders to arrive to take their pictures:   one at Callahan, one in Baras Tanay boundary, one in Biak na Bato in Pililla, and last one at OL:

On the way back, one was in Lagundi, and the final one in front of URS in Binangonan:

Admire and savor their great pictures:






Richard MTB kapadyak pictures while riding. Awesome! ( I had to sprint hard to be ahead a couple of minutes to take their pictures

One can not help but marvel at the high and mighty wind turbines.  We can not describe with words the awe and wonder we have when we are near those electricity generating giants.

Here are their pictures:







The #altenergy #windturbines are magnificent. Words cant describe the power the might, the height of each of the tower. ...

The wind turbines are now a tourist attraction. There are so many visitors and many stalls selling food and souvenirs have sprouted near the entrance to the view deck:

The road from Sampaloc Tanay to the Windfarm in Bugarin

The purpose of the trip today, wherein I saw the Audax ride was to visit one of the cattle farms of my uncle.  Right before the jungle base, after passing the shortcut to Marcos Highway, before the Marcos highway there is a right turn and goes to Mapandan.  I remember turn right turn right and at the fork (the one that goes straight goes to the farm of my uncle) and then you see some rugged roads, a newly opened solar farm, then down and up to a dirt road (rather steep fit for MTB only) and then you see a winding stretch of newly built road to the wind farm of Altenergy up to km 66.  It cuts travel by 10 km between Sampaloc and Bugarin.  There are now many tiangges in the wind farm (to cater to many visitors and tourists)  This is the first time I passed through this road.  (Some say this is the road from Regina Rica)

Wheels of Power (wind turbines) are now up at Bugarin

                        As seen from Quisao

Many would not have noticed it but the wind turbines of the first wind turbines power energy source have gone up.  This rider noted this while resting in Malaya as he returned from a Jalajala solo ride.

He noted the stark contrast between fossil fuel Malaya power plant (run on dirty bunker fuel) and clean and renewable wind power.

When completed this wind farm would produce 50+ mW.  This is is built at a loan of $130 million from various Philippine banks led by China bank.  It is a joint venture between Meralco and Keppco (the one maintaining Malaya power plant

                     3 towers just like 3 crosses

                       This could be a tourist attrqction


                 Renewable energy has come of age in Pililla
