I was supposed to be simple uenventful ride a recovery one, a light ride to Baras, could have been back by 10 am.  But I arrived at 11:30 because I did a triathlon.  On the way back from Morong, going via the diversion road, my newly installed chain  snapped.  I had to look for somebody with pliers to get back the chain together.  I found one at a vulcanizing shop before Callahan. I managed to get the chain back.  My plan was to walk up the hill, and then coast down, put the gear in low low ratio so as not to force the weak chain connection.  So I did that in Callahan, Look, and LLDA.  It was fine going until Darangan when I had it fixed by a bike shop.  I shifted up before Pantok and the chain was left on the road.  Fortunately, I found it.  I had to walk till Bilibriran.  From Bilibiran till Pag asa, the Villamayor Bike Parts, The installation was made in Angono and Vito said the there was poor fit of the pin. I had to shove my legs on the road (a la trolley scooter) to speed up the face and lessen damage to the biking shoes.

So next time, always bring a chain tool, even if you have a brand new chain.


It was triathlon because there was biking event, walking, and then dousing oneself with plenty of water. (swimming)

Vito reinstalled the chain using the missing link this time. Upa- pang kape

I took this picture of Mr. Ric Santos, who says he is from Malabon City (that is far) and I asked him the meaning of the label on his jersey  -  Triabetics.  (because I am a diabetic)  Well he says, it simply refer to the idea that the wearer joins triathlon events.  I see

Duathlon, Triathlon, Quadrathlon

Real Cyclists

We talked about this at Pisong Kape.  These athletes are mostly all around athletes.  You can overtake them at their rides.  They need to develop all of the muscles that will let them finish biking, swimming, and running.  So do not kid yourself that you are better than them if you overtake them in their bike rides.

Well we suggested a  new event:  quadrathlon.  There is no such event yet.  The fourth event being suggested, is sex.  If the guy can not do that then he does not complete the event.  Just like in cockfight, if the cock does not bite, and both of the cocks are injured, then it loses.  How about that?

According to Smith, his wife woke him up because there was an interview on Jennalyn Mercado and her love of biking.  She said that she was asthmatic which affected her career.  Since she biked, she felt stronger.  She will continue to bike even when she is no longer in showbiz.  Incidentally, we see her biking up to Pisong Kape at times.

She also got a Scott bike gift from a friend.

JM should encourage many of us to bike more and harder;   now that she endorsed it, and she herself bikes.
