This post visited Jeff Gaffud two nights ago at San Isidro Hospital and he had appendectormy by laparascopy method. He was as as rider very strong because he was able to wake up just barely 6 hours post op. Even appendectomy is done almost less traumatically using laparascopy (But expensive very expensive)

Antoine Huby pinatag Bessang Pass, Kalikasan Rd at Mangatarem and Kennon rd ride
Wheels of Happiness
The foreign riders weathered the hot weather and the steep climbs and dominated the local riders. Those who did were barely domistiques of TDF teams. One such rider was Antoine Huby who flattened the mountains of Bessang Pass, Kalikasan of Mangatarem and Kennon rd. I know I could barely complete Kennon. He must have ridden this at 54 chain rings.
Congratulations. Our riders will prepare hard for you when there is ntext TOL...
As riders too we celebrate with you your victory and your quest for long life and good health
Great appreciation to the organizer and sponsor, MPTC for financing for this huge undertaking and continuously waking up the nerves of bikers in the Philippines and making our riders more competititve. Thanks to the riders to the commisarries, to the HPG patrols and all others who made this undertaking a huge success
