This guy Bert who hails from Marinduque, made kuwento that he went home to Marinduque via Cavinti Luisiana, Tayabas and Lucena up to Dalahican a couple of weeks ago to go home and attend high school reunion.  He left at 4 pm and arrived 11 pm in Lucena city, in time for the 11:;30 trip.  He encountered rains in Cavinti but he went on.    He just relied on his bike mounted LED lamp for his illumination.  Imagine that, night ride. solo.  We could not even ride that well during day  time.

But he went home solo and at night.

He did not even go home to their house in Marinduque.   He went straight to the reunion. and then later on went home again.  Solo.

Isnt that great.?

This guy even catches fish diving the murky waters of Laguna Lake (he could see the fish) and stay underwater for 5 minutes.  Wow.

Difference between MTB and road bike riding

I was in several conversations about the advantage and disadvantage of using Road Bike and MTB.

1.  MTBs are definitely heavier, have more friction on the road, and more wind resistance.  Definitely not for long distance riding.

2.  You tend to be lazier when on MTB;  you use lower gears, (very low low gears, even the granny)

3.  You cant finish a 100 km ride on MTB unless you are super strong.

4.  With a road bike you tend to be more patient, you less low gears, stand up and seek for your strength.

From my conversation with Alex Castillo who says he works at Tokyo Tokyo at Pasong Tamo, and Bert, who is from Marinduque, who recently went on night riding from Angono to Dalahican to go home to Marinduque for a high school reunion
