It is the last day of the month. On Saturday, February 6, 2016, there is a scheduled return to San Felipe, and I heard about 10 riders are joining. I left at 7:00 to bike to Pililla, Pisong Kape or possibly to Bugarin. I brought my SARS bike (with MTB gears). On the way, a group of Taytay riders passed me by at Pag asa. I tried to keep up with them until Mambog where they dropped me. From Pag asa to Mambog however, I realized that they are not that Class A riders. Oca Chua, who won a criterium race in Technopark yesterday was with us.
Thereafter, I came across MTB riders from Pantok in Cardona and they overtook me at Callahan. I got in contact with them and passed them at the flats at the Morong Cardona boundary. Somebody gave chase at Km 51 but he disappeared at Km 52 because of too much rapid pedaling.. Passed again several MTBs along the way until Pililla. I towed somebody though until Halayhayin and cursed him for not doing his sharing of breaking air. There I saw a growing crowd of bikers assembling for the try outs.
About 10 roadies passed me near P y and I tried ot give chase and I passed an oldie whom I learned was Mang Cenon (72 yo) who knows VM.
I ate my Lugaw at Pisong Kape and it took 30 minutes for it to arrive. The food server who got the money forgot about it, and when I followed it up, she had wrapped up in plastic for take home.
The Recyclists arrived soon after: Master E, Edgar, Meong, Joel, Pres Luis, Papa Ric, Nolite, Alan and Erning Mariposa. He had his youngest with him, riding an MTB. They said Gerry and company rode to Cartimar in Pasay to buy parts
On the way going home, I was ahead until the uphill at Tanay Baras boundary. We again regrouped at the Cardona Morong boundary eatery

Great bike events lately

There were 2 great bike events probably that I did not know very well: last week an MTB mass ride, and early today a Philippine team elimination/trial.
Last week , I met going home about a hundred MTB riders of different jersey colors and design near the Binangonan Convention Center. Early today at :Pililla, there was we heard, a trial/tryout for Philippine National Team for SEA games. It had full MC support from PNP and other parties. I wonder who were taken in

Angelique Kerber (7) German upsets Serena Williams (1) at Australian Open

From NY Times
I learned only a couple of days ago that Serena Williams reign as Australian Open Champ has ended. A certain unheard player A. Kerber defeated her in 3 sets.
I happened to watch the replay today at Fox TV and caught up the set, the second which S. Williams won. Williams showed her dominance with aces, and booming corner shots.Williams served 190 kph+ unstoppable, unreturnable serve. However S. Williams committed many errors: ball on the tape, outside and double faults
At the third set, Kerber threw in a couple of drop shots which upset the game/rhythm of Williams. At the 10th game of the third set, Williams was serving and she committed errors especially on the last point (an out) which gave Kerber the game.
It was a full packed event (maybe the whites wanting to see the dominance of black for six years) in tennis and they got what they wanted.
