The bre month was greeted by great floods in Rizal

Wheels of Happiness

The "bre" month, September which heralds the start of the Christmas season was unusual -  it was a floody welcome for the month  The whole of Rizal (almost) was flooded:    Baras, Pililla, Tanay,  Mabitac, Cainta, Rodriguez, San Mateo, Cainta.

In less than 12 hours, the rain came and torrents and places which did not get flooded were inundated.

Those places are the places we use to bike.   How could our landscape turn into scene of destruction and deluge for such a short while?

NDRRMC was constantly texting through NTC the yellow and orange rainfall warning. This accompanied the arrival of Typhoon Enteng which was by 7 last night was all ready in Bicol.   Many would have disregarded them.  But they were accurate.  Thank you PAG -ASA, NDRRMC.  

Let us pray for the safety of those who are affected by the flood.  

(The PAOCC chief navigated his way through the flood on a cabinet.  (That is why people of his level are called cabinet officials?)  

What could have been the cause?   Natural -  act of God.  The climate change has caused all the rains to dump unusual amount  of rain.   Denudation of forest, quarrying operations.    

Let us not cheer if there are floods in China.  We are in the same boat.

I rode well yesterday despite feeling ill last Sunday

Rizal Philippines  | April 3, 2015

               Smith lent me his yellow helmet to complete the all yellow stuff: watch, eyewear, shoes,


I think I did well in the Bisikleta Iglesia yesterday, despite being unable to get off from the bed last Sunday  (March 29, 2015)  That may be due to:   fatigue from Calapan travel Thursday, and Friday and high blood sugar

I was in front, at the peloton at the following stages:

1. From Angono to Taytay (hence I was able to take picture at Iglesia Taytay;

2.  From Junction to Karangalan (together with VM)

3.  From Padre Pio to Sta Clara church  (VM and I were first in the church)

4.  Going down from Balara to Tumana (I was with Gerry Y)

5.  Well I was tasked with showing the way from Concepcion church to the church of the abandoned in San Roque,

and exiiting from San Roque to Tuazon, Sta Lucia and to Junction  (that is why I was able to take their picture at Junction)

Still strong at 64 (senior citizen hehehe - puede pa)
