I rode to Antipolo City today at 7:15 today.  It was a hard gear ride.  I only used the 44 front chain ring through out the ride with 32 sprocket. at Beverly Hills.It was 25 at other parts of the climb.   I had the SAVA MTB blessed.  All that was needed was a donation. It gives you certain confidence that you and the bike are blessed to be kept safe from harm.

Later I had a conversation with a young rider from Taguig who wore a SAVA jersey,(he claim he is member of RP youth team but had to lie low because of work) and somebody from Teresa who knew about Audax.
