Of the six riders last Sunday to Jariel's Peak, 5 had road bikes.  I brought a Ti Sava MTB.  This helped a bit because it was lighter.

As you can see in the video, I was abler to keep pace with Jess Verchez.   But I was sitting down.

That was great accomplishment for me considering that my farthest bike ride for the last two weeks was only to Morong or Antipolo.

Yesterday, despite heavy rains Saturday evening and until wee hours of the morning, the skies cleared at 5:00 paving the way for the planned ride to Jariel's Peak.  Six turned out for the ride:   Jeff, Alan, Pres Luis, Peter, Jess V and I.

The rendezvous was supposed to be at Sacred Heart.  No one was there by 5:40.  However Jeff arrived, and then by 5:45 we left for Morong Maybancal Simples Lugawan.  Alan Pres Luis, and Jess were there.  Soon after we rode to Sampaloc arriving there at the summit by 8:30.   Then we waited for Peter at the Crossing who said he was all ready at Daranak Falls.  (Iyon pala panay ang selfie)

We started for Jariel by 9:00 am.  We did away with snacks planning to have the same along the way.   It was first time for Jariel for Alan, Jeff, Peter, and Jess.  It was all downhill up to km 70 and then we had snacks at km 76.  I had water, Fudgee bar, and RC Cola.  Although the destination was mere 12 km away, I struggled and caught up with the group at Rosary Hill at about 11.   I arrived 11:30

We had lunch at Marquez Bulalohan.  We were fortunate, most of the MC riders had left Marquez and we had a table and was able to get food in less than 10 minutes. When I rode with Angono MTB, we did not have a table,  food was served after one hour.  Iyon pala, pay as you order.  We had Sisig, pansit, lumpiang toge,  and 1.75 Royal Orange.

We departed for home by 1:00 pm.  I could swear we were doing 50 kph +   We arrived at Sampaloc Crosssing by 2:30.  We stopped for snack of Hopia and RC cola.   And then I bought Marang and avocado at our buko stop.
