I rode to Antipolo City this morning.  And I met Reymond Pactao from Pag Asa Binangonan Rizal.  He took notice of me as he joined me at Beverly Hills going up Antipolo City.   He recognized my uniform and the bike frame I bought from him -  Bianchi.  At the Antipolo Cathedral church yard, he realized how light the bike is.  If only the wheel set were lighter, then it would even be lighter.

I rode up using heavy gear 39 x 17.  I used to ride this at low gear  39 x 28 or even 32.   But I was sweating hard, even on my face, as I finished the ride.   I returned home via Teresa, Morong,  Cardona and Binangonan

The Recyclists came  nearly in full force to condole and pray with the family of the late Bayani Ramos, the husband of Simple (the owner of lugawan) who serve our breakfast for the last 10 years of biking.  He died of cardiac arrest at East Medical Center due to complications from diabetes.  He was 62 (4 years younger than me and 20+ years vs Papa Ric) I used to converse with him because  we have the same affliction.


Biking is a a medicine. It was biking that made me live longer.  Otherwise, I like Mr Bayani would have lost my toes and succumbed too to the complications of diabetes.

   Present this morning were Engr. June, Joel, Boks, Etoy Mariposa, Vhen, Edgar de los Reyes.  Papa Ric Mancao, Jericho Magtibag, Jimmy, Meong  Pres Luis Master E,  and me.

We made our own individual abuloy.  All except me made it round Teresa.  I still had work to do.

Kinumusta si Edgar de los Reyes (7 days); hindi nagkita kita nang pauwi from Tagaytay City Ride

Nagpunta at kinumusta ko si Edgar de los Reyes of Cardona Rizal  kahaapon ng umaga galing sa ride sa Morong para kumustahin. Siya at kasama niyang si Al Alegre na nakasama sa pagsalunga sa Tagaytay City ay hindi natin nakatagpo sa Bicutan Lingo ng gabi. (Si Al sumundo sa atin sa Baguio City ride natin early this year) Well I had update Monday morning from Pres Luis that the two overshot the Bicutan intersection and went straight the West Service Road to Villamor Air Base and proceeded to to C5 (or BGC).  It was very dark according to them and because Ed has poor eyesight, found it difficult to ride. Thanks God they arrived at 9:00 pm (some 1 1/2 hours later than us)

Nagpasalamat si Edgar sa aking pagdalaw at concern.  He was about to bike too yesterday when I met him
