Happy Immaculate Conception Day of Virgin Mary
It is feast day of Ateneo, although yesterday, they were reminded of their fraility as they lost to the more superior basketball team to DLSU. It was a gallant fight though
So let me talk a little on my resumption of ride distance up to Morong. The week before, I could only ride at max to Cardona at Callahan. But I try to maintain a rapid pace say 25 kph and sprint up to 35 kph (estimate only but that is the perceived effort when I have my bike with cyclometer) I rode up diversion and I used 32 x 17 and stood up. and went down to lower gear as I coasted up further to 32 x28. (Laspag na) I rode up to Sagbat and Taghangin to visit a business site, had some talk and rode back at almost 9 am. On the way back it is still via diversion and went to low gear to 32 x 32. (I had 36 t max low) And then two mighty sprint at Calumpang highway (say 35 kph with the last one going uphill at island gas) Rapid and furious pace from bridge of Bilibiran to Tagpos and from Tagpos to Pag asa barrio road.
Finished the ride panting and profusely sweating even up to 2 hours after ride. On the way back to being fully recovered (although the doctor said the symptoms of my illness could last up to 6 months) Dapat daw maraming vitamin B.

I could bike and blog again

Despite some controversial news that came out last week (Trump win, SC approval on Marcos burial at the LBNMB) is had something to be happy about. After weeks of difficulty of having double vision due to eye infection,, my vision returned to normal since Wednesday. Last Saturday, I tried biking for 10 km and I was able to do this safely.
This morning I rode 20 km. To top it all, I was able to sprint, ride at pace and even overtook some riders. (One that I overtook at Bilibiran, reached the convention center when I was going back from Montevideo.
This noon, I tried my hand blogging again. Welcome my friends.
For some unknown reason, the number of page views went up by a factor of 5 while I was absent from the blog

Missing my Road Bike - lighter and faster than MTB
Wheels of Happiness
Rizal Philippines
September 4, 2016
I had long lasting fatigue until Friday ever since I did a long ride to Majayjay on a MTB. May be because of the weight of the bike (although it is a carbon fiber) the wind resistance or the road friction, I had to exert more effort and energy.
Yesterday I rode up Eastridge using my Ti MTB. Now I no longer fear nor hesitate climbing up Eastridge. Kayang kaya ng MTB.
But for today;s weekend ride, Sunday, I brought out the Binachi road bike. The difference in the ease of riding was very much felt. I had not ridden a road bike for about a month. The tires of the Fuji carbon fiber were flat.
I passed about 3 dozens MTB and they were riding 29 ers and were not slow. But in the end I was ahead of everybody on the way to Morong. On the way back, I passed at diversion (kaya din ng road bike) and the MTB whom I passed (from Taguig - Ridley club) were still there. That is what you call the road bike advantage

March 1, 2016
The 40th birthday of Recyclist Richard Ang was celebrated yesterday in his house together with some 20 plus Recyclists. They had to attend, or else.... get a punch on the thigh (as published at Facebook (lagot si Engr. June, si Master at si Joel) Those who came: Kuya Boy, Vhen, Pres Luis, Tito, Chito (he did not go to to work at Mit. Sta Rosa just to attend), the Zapanta brothers: Armin and Archie, Sec Noe, Victor, Val, Weng, Gerry K, VM, Jeff, Pangskie, JB,
It was a very happy occasion becasue many attended (out of fear) not because of devotion or love of Richard) hahaha. There papaitan, spaghetti, laing, menudo, adobo, cucumber salad, embutido. Drinks flowed: SML,and light brandy.
On top of that there is videoke singing, and there would a Miss Gay contest later on. (I did not see this because I left early)
Theoretically, Richard celebrated his 40th birthday. But since it on a leap year, he celebrated this only 10x.
Happy birthday Richard.
