Biking and health
How do you set up your bike seats when you have aerobars?
You set it as much forward as possible to have more leverage when stomping on the pedals...

`New Motivation
Biking and health
The Armstrong doping case laid to waste all his books and tips on cycling; likewise his coach pointers I think did not count. Doping and drugs worked.
So why not a book on doping.
Ben proposed that the new motivation be changed from "Alak pa alak pa" by Alak man Ado who is now in Pangasinan into something cheesy. He noticed how Papa Ric, who at 80 bikes well. He wags his tongue.
So Ben proposed to do likewise and shout: "P..."
Well, you can buy Alak anytime anywhere, but as for P....?
Look at Papa Ric's tongue

Our bike ride today to Jajajala October 21`, 2012
Biking and health
I would say it is was a great hard furious ride.
Joel, Jeff and I (3 Js) + Master Edwin met at Pag asa pa Y thinking we were ahead of others. When I called up Luis at 620, he said they were in Mambog. We had to bike fast to catch up. I tried to lead the way`up to Callahan, when Joel, Jeff and Edgar overtook.
Jeff had a flat near the market and we had `to assist him. We arrived at Simples at around 720. Those were there: Luis, Papa Ric, Tommy, VM, Nolite, Tito, Gerry Cataps, Thirdkill, Ado, Ben, Archie, Armin, Choco2, Chito F, Jess.
Noticeably absent: Schmitt, June F, Amigo,
We had quick breakfast of Lugaw with egg; we quickly left at 720. I paced from Morong until I was attacked at Km 54. We arrived at Pisong Kape at 7:30.
We are at Bugarin by 830. I was left behind because I bought BJ.
At Mabitac, I saw Jeff had another flat tire. I lent him my spare interior. We are at rendezvous point by 910 and ate Lomi. I spent only PHP 20 for this. From Mabitac highway to Lomi Haus, it was raining. A fun day to ride. We left Lomi Haus by 9:30
From after the bridge, I paced until near Punta when I gave up the effort. ` My thighs were burning. I rode and spun with Ado and exchanged stories from near Punta up to Jalajala. We were there at about 11:00.
Lo and behold we were not the last: Luis and Jess, Gerry, Edgar and Papa Ric came later.
We had refreshment: water and juice. We took at about 11:45. It rained again at Quisao at past 12. No one stopped; I guess every one was hungry.` The scheduled food stop was at Tanay, but then everybody's tank was empty and we had to eat at Pisong Kape. Boy, everybody was hungry.
We took off at 1 pm. I again joined the lead pack but surrendered at km 51. We arrived at Simples by 1:30 and rested. We waited for Ben, Papa Ric, Edgar, and Luis.
We were home by 2:40.
Great ride.
