                                      Aming homestay:   Barangay Apartalle libre (tubig tulog, CR)

Today is National Heroes Day.  We commemorate yesteryears and current heores. Are you one of the heroes.

Can our adventure considered heroism

Yesterday, 7 of the Recyclists (8 including son of Etoy,  Joshua) rode out to Real with the leaders arriving at 11:40 (Jeff and Allan) and the others short minutes later.  The 7 are:  Alan, Jeff, ,Gerry, Pres Luis, Etoy, Angel and I.  We met 7:00+ in Morong had lugaw, JUS had to have his flat fixed, 8:10 at Pisong Kape, 8:40 at Bugarin, 10:00 at Famy.  Those who were reported to have suggested this ride did not join.

Inihatid kami ni Master Ed hanggang Bugarin.  Si Meong, hanggang Morong

We had lunch at the store of Zaldy Sampaga at about 12:30 and most of our lunch were 2 or more orders of rice plus dinuguan.   (naubos na luto)   Then we took a dip at the Pacific Ocean at about 3 pm. after some shots of Empi sponsored by Alan.    At 5:00 pm the group rode to the Real Town proper and bought only 3 orders of KFC (Kanto Fried Chicken)  Two were for dinner and one order was for pulutan of 3 bottles or red horse.

We slept at the Barangay Hall, which is being administered by Kagawad Larry Sampaga, the owner of the store where we ate.  We also used the CR of the tanod at the  ground floor.  We slept on the desk (at least two of us and the rest on the floor, for fear of falling from the tables.  The Barangay hall is about 20 meters away from the Baywatch 2.

Today we had breakfast at 5:00 am of tuyo ang fried eggs and fried rice. cooked by wife of Larry.  And some coffee.  We paid P50.00 each for the sumptuous breakfast.  Last night we chipped in P100.00 for the fried chicken and the Red Horsse beer.

We left at 5:45 via the same route we took, (some were suggesting we take the  Marilaque route Jarriels Peak but Gerry had broken rear spoke and we would not be sure of getting assistance in case of further mechanical trouble (such as riding the bus going home)  If not having a back up is a weakness, doing the Marilaque route can be reckless.

We were at Famy at 7:45, 9:00 am at Pisong Kape, and home by 11:00.    We were a little bit faster going home.

What does this ride show?  We can see the determination and courage of few people who can ride far out without back up (mga 90 km one way:  50 km to Famy and about 40 km to Real) and we can do this cheap.  That was only about P350.00 for the two day journey.

Our bike ride to Ternate last Sunday December 1, 2013 was our finest, defining moment

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal Philippine  | December 5, 2013

Up to now my thighs and body are complaining of pains, a result of last Sunday's ride.  I made an earlier post that was our most challenging, most technical climb.  Gerry and the rest at FB would like to think so.

Compared to various rides:

1.  Real is l00 km ride, there are hill climbs, but we rode the first 100 km one way, spent the night there and road back the following day;

2. Same with Baguio.  We rode 200 km one way up to Urdaneta  slept there and rode Baguio, 40 km away the follwing day.

3.  Bitukang Manok.  That is over 150 km one way, we ride up to Bitukang Manok the last 5 km as the most challenging hard part.

But Ternate was 80 km ride flat one way, 20 km difficult like climbing up Kennon road or Bitukang Manok (but were looking false flat) (total 100 km) ride back the 20 km hard ride and ride back to Angono.  Nothing matched was like it.

That ride separated the boys from men, and showed who were real men.  Real Cyclists

That was our finest moment.  Congratulations everyone.

From Real Men to Gay Men; September 4, 2011 taGAYtay Ride

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

Last week, we were RealMen; today we are GayMen. (No Relation go gays with due respect) and Neil Gaiman.

RealMen Last Week

                See the sign at Gerry and My Back:  Real Bank and the Bikers are RealMen. Hahaha

THE GAYMEN - The Signs are All Very Clear

                                         That's Jorgeus Biker, Angel, Neto and Gerry, all GayMen!

This seems very comical; but the title captures the essence of our rides last week and today. We are all very hard and intrepid bikers.  Our bike ride last week was estimated to be 200 km; today about l80 km.

Why Real Men?

Some guys are intrigued by the title of the post:  RealMen!!!!

First of all we biked to Real, Quezon.

Second, we biked approximately l00 km one way without back up vehicle or logistics. Out and back that is 200 km, and equivalent ride to Baguio, or a good length lap in Tour de France.

Third, the route was for Real Men Really.  20 km going up to km l00 without recovery; the same going back. That is twice the length of Bugarin.  Only Real Men can do that.

Do we need to say more?  I feel I am a more complete rider after completing this feat.

The Real Men last August 29, 20ll

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

I joined the Real Men in their ride to where else? Real Quezon last August 29,20ll. There were four of us: Alan, Gerry, Weng, and I. There were other guys we met at 7:00 am at Maybancal. But they were not Real Men. They were JJ men (jalajala men) and could not bear the idea of riding l00 km out and back. without any back up/team vehicle.

We were at Bugarin by 8:00 am and at Famy by 9:00 am.

We were at Km l00 by about ll:00 and at Llavac at ll:30. We had lunch at ll:30 to l2;00. We were down at Famy by 2:00 pm (a much faster and shorter ride) We were at Mabitac by 2:40, and at Bugarin by 300 pm. I was in Angono by 5:l5.

We experienced 3 rains going up to Real; 3 rains going down, and l heavy rains at Bugarin

Until today, all my body is painful and sore. It was a real ride for real men.  I could not imagine myself doing it.  Most of our far away distance ride had team vehicle.  Yesterday, we did not have any.  We thought we would have it overnight - but we had commitments.
