I noticed that many MTB riders are now going to Wawa for stop over, stand by and food. About 3 dozen or so bikers from Binangonan and Cainta were in Wawa this morning.
This is good for Angono especially for the food vendors at Wawa. It means more income and livelihood. I asked why bikers drop by here. They said this is part of the package when going to Petroglyphs. Some bikers say Wawa is a great destination too.

Since it is a legal holiday today, a feast for the Muslims (sacrifice - when Abraham agreed to sacrifice his eldest son to God) Meong suggested that we have two days ride (overnight) either to Real or San Felipe. When I verified with Jeff, he said it is going to be the weekend before All Saints day (as was last year) Besides, we just had the long ride to Majayjay
So last Saturday, I thought there would be a long ride. Meong texted me that he was at Jollibee at 6:00. I went there and other Recyclists appeared: Jeff and Pres. Luis. They said they would text me later if we were going to have a ride after all.
Later they texted me that there would be no ride.

Missing my Road Bike - lighter and faster than MTB

I had long lasting fatigue until Friday ever since I did a long ride to Majayjay on a MTB. May be because of the weight of the bike (although it is a carbon fiber) the wind resistance or the road friction, I had to exert more effort and energy.
Yesterday I rode up Eastridge using my Ti MTB. Now I no longer fear nor hesitate climbing up Eastridge. Kayang kaya ng MTB.
But for today;s weekend ride, Sunday, I brought out the Binachi road bike. The difference in the ease of riding was very much felt. I had not ridden a road bike for about a month. The tires of the Fuji carbon fiber were flat.
I passed about 3 dozens MTB and they were riding 29 ers and were not slow. But in the end I was ahead of everybody on the way to Morong. On the way back, I passed at diversion (kaya din ng road bike) and the MTB whom I passed (from Taguig - Ridley club) were still there. That is what you call the road bike advantage
