She is on the verge of winning a major tournament where the top money is USD 250,000 (thats a lot of money for Eala in case)  She is facing Pegula in the finals

Good luck for Alex, tomorrow we will know if Alex is in the same altitude of Number 1.   More power

Went up Taktak via Floodway, and Sumulong highway; joined Engr contractor

Wheels of Happiness

Joined Engr Fort Flojo, engineer contractor in Sunday ride to Taktak.   Went to Taktak via Manila East Road, Taytay up to Highway 2000, floodway, right turn to Marcos Highway, past Sta. Lucia, and then right to Sumulong Highway... And then up the hills, Valley Golf, Padis point, Cloud 9, Assumption Antipolo, Le Blanc and finally to Antipolo.  The lower Taktak where the glass church is located has thousands of joggers and bikers and hundred of food stall.  It was a happy place    And the place is the centerpoint of all the hundreds of bikers we met at Marcos Highway.  

This post overtook many riders but could not go past Engr.  because he is younger.  I am wary too of my age and fitness level.  (being 75 all ready)

We ate at the farthest end of the lower Taktak road in a place run by  Carol.

We also did the upper taktak where there were many photogs, and where there were uphill climbs.  

It was fund happy ride
