This post went up Tikling yesterday, up to Antipolo and saw a heavy traffic jamp beginning at Seminary and up to Fibertex.  I saw a truck on its side and several destroyed vehicle which it  crashed into:    two jeeps, a car, and at least one MTB rider who said sand spilled into him hurt him at his side and blew out his tires.  

From Antipolo, the traffic was up to Beverly.    

Many were injured albeit none fatally.  Except the car driver who was trapped....The rescuers had no bolt cutter, nor angle grindeer to cut off the frame that was pinning the driver.   How is he?

They said the cause of the mayhem was tires of the ten wheeler blowing up

Really we have to ride safe... Too many vehicular accidents lately

Assisted an mtb rider from Taguig climbing to Antipolo at Tikling who broke his chain

This post assisted an MTB rider this morning ast Tikling.  He is from Taguig and he broke his chain. I stopped to find out how I can help.   Found out that he tore apart his missing link.   I thought I have several missing links :   9, 10 and 11 speeds.

So I dont need a chain cutter; only a misssing link.  However, the problem with his bike is that the chain is that its old and grimy.   The missing link wont lock because of grime.   After cleaning and  trying again I got the connection right.  However this post advised the rider to go home and buy a new chain.  If he wants to go to the church, better walk kasi I cant guarantee my job.    I am not a certified mechanic.   He was very thankful though because he can still go home on a limp mode

I biked to Antipolo yesterday up to Lores, via the Kaytikling Cabrera road.  This is the home of the DECS, Provincial Jail of Rizal, and the Sto Rosario Memorial Park.  It is rather a challenging and steep ride, more challenging than the Fibertex, Beverly Hills Climb to Antipolo

There are 3 hills:  the one at ABC building, then the next one at Victory Church, and the 3rd one after the 2nd gate of Maharlika .  It is about 2 km, the last 500 meters that turns sharply to the left leaves you breathless.

It rained while I was climbing this and before I had to stop 3x for this ride, this time I did this without dismounting

My rides during the week: Nov l5-16, 2012

Biking and health

I rode last night.  It was kind of late.  I attacked a hill 5x.  Perspired a lot.

This morning, I rode to Antipolo.  I left at 620 and was at Antipolo Church before 7.  I was nearing the end of the mass when i arrived.  I overtook 3 other fellow bikers.  I used 34 x 23, and 34 x 25.  I lost breath at Beverly.

I think I am stronger now.l


Going home, I left at 7:10 and arrived at 7:40.  I sprinted  3x going down from Tikling to SM.  I was at the office by 7:40.  I would say it is a hard ride
