Heavy rains met this biker this morning coming back from Pililla

It was raining at dawn and fortunately  rains stopped at around 6:30 and so I biked to Pililla.(Up to km 58)
It was cloudy and was a good day to bike.  The roads though had  puddles of water all ready and soiling my jersey, helmet, hair and bike

From Pililla, there  was no rain yet.  It started to have light drizzle in Baras and stopped when I was in Maybancal.  At the highway between Morong and Cardona, the rains really poured.

As I was climbing LLDA, the water cascaded down like a river....I nearly crashed onto steel bars/beams carried by a tricycle that had stopped and its cargo was blocking the highway.  He was not very visible because the flags/warning he  had was small was not brightly colored... And visibility because  of the  heavy rain was poor.

Will I get sick because I got drenched by heavy rains while biking.  Let us see.

Pag may sticker at Serial Number Orig ba frameset?

Mr. Jovencio Apran and I visited Edgar de los Reyes in his home in Cardona Rizal  who has been observed not to be biking lately.  And true  enough he said that our visit gave him a pep vitamin to get better. He said that he could not bike long distance, he has low RBC count and has been taking EPO shots lately (once a week) the same substance that Lance Armstrong was alleged to be taking as Performance Enhancing Drug, a banned substance.

We talked about motivation and more reason to get better.  We talked about new OEM  carbon frame copy bikes being built by our kapadyak.  He said he prefers the Canyon, the color is red  for his dream bike.
