As we prepare for the Legazpi City ride by December 2014, I try to build myself physically to become stronger. Here are my latest routine:

1.  100 push ups:  with arms offset, with leg raises,  planking,

2.  100 squats

3.  100 leg raises lying down.

4.  100 steps us on a 1 foot stool

These are good for developing the core muscles and build resistance especially #4.  And developing abs and removing flabs.  Try them.  I have been getting these from #Mens Fitness

Today I biked to KM 55 at Tanay and returned home via Teresa and Antipolo.  I arrived at 10 am (late for work.  I started out early at 5:50 and I wore the Recyclists first uniform.  I went through the Cardona bypass
 which we know is rather stiff and steep using 34 x 23.

I admired the fire trees in Tanay and took many of their pics.  I met Nolite on the way back at Simples Lugawan

There was a huge traffic jam at Kaytikling today due to an accident

I biked to Antipolo City leaving at 6:00 am.  There was however a huge traffic jam at Kaytikling.  Going up to Antipolo until near Palmera was a problem,  and from Fibertex down to that area was tied up.  Reason, a ten wheeler truck slammed into a group of houses.  It may have lost brakes and reversed into the houses.  There were hearsays of death. 

At the time I passed, a concrete bulk transporter was in the middle of the road, apparently requested to tow the 10 wheeler.  Fortunately for me, I was able to get back to Kaytikling without much problem.  I counterflowed despite the fact that maybe a hundred vehicles were on hold because of the huge 10 wheeler truck (a flatbed bearing sand)

I started going down at 7:00 am and was home at 7:25

I rode again today, departing at 6 am.  I used the Fuji SL bike with the newly installed ITM handle bar.  I reached Morong by 7:00 am but I continued up to km 53 in Tanay.  On the way I chased Nolite from he Tayuman and was with him before the Binangonan Convention Center.  We were together until  Callahan but he overtook me and was ahead of me by 20 meters till the crest.    That gap widened by some 300 meters up to Cardona/Morong boundary but at Namay I caught up with Nolite.  He turned left at Sagbat to bike to Antipolo via Teresa.  I went to Tanay.

This simply means:

1.  I am getting stronger;  (I can give chase to Nolite and even keep pace with him)

2.  I can give chase and cant be dropped very far behind

On the way back I met many Taytay riders like Bubuy.  I also met Ven at Sagbat
