I Joined the Ride to Luisiana Oct 30, 2011

Engr June Francisco Congratulates Me on my two Hard Rides: Real and Tagaytay

Have bike, we will help save the earth...

                                    Engr. June is the handsome guy at the back standing at the left

Engr. June Francisco said kind words to me regarding my three recent hard rides at the WP blog:  Sierra Madre, Tagaytay, And Real.  Maybe he said that because  I am all ready 60 years old and probably very few would have the guts and stamina to do those rides one after the other. (June Francisco is a manager at Sanden and one of our riding mates and a great one too).

Truly after the Real and Tagaytay rides, my body ached.  I will try to do the best I can to ride as long as I can, God willing.

Thank you Engr. for the kind words.
