I am not ashamed to tell that the rest of the Recyclists wait for me. But before they had to wait for 10 minutes or so, now, it takes 2 to 3 minutes for me to arrive (that is according to Joel)
At the C6 portion I was in the middle of the pack and even was at the front of the paceline for a while. They overtook me at 3/4 portion of the road.
At the Bicutan to Alabang portion, I was near the front, and reliquished the advantage near the Alabang Zapote road (they were ahead by just 200 meters)
At Daang Hari, up to about 4/5ths of Daang Hari, I stayed with the lead pack.
I and master were behind at Paliparan and Greenwoods up to Silang
At Silang to Tagaytay, we (Master and I were behind) but overtook Ado at around km 48. Ado though overtook me at km 52. (That was near the rotonda all ready)
What did I do as we climbed? I tried spinning which I watched at You Tube as an Alberto Contador strategy. The climbing was much much easier and I did not feel tired. I was able to stay close to the leaders.

Accident at Paliparan rd - a brand new pick up turned belly up!
Real Cyclists
Angono, Rizal | July 30, 2013
We saw an accident along the bike route last Sunday at Paliparan road about a kilometer away from the corner opposite an indie gasoline station(I could not remember the name). A brand new pick up turned turtle. It must have been totalled.
Several other pick ups (Ranger etc) were near the accident site. They would be probably have been travelling at a convoy and traveling at high speed and maybe avoided a vehicle going to or exiting the gasoline station. The avoidance maneuver, I suppose must have caused the pick up to flip upside down.
I did not take picture because the accident picture may instill negative images in the minds of the reader, Recyclists.
The vehicle was gone by 12 noon when we went down from Tagaytay

Just entered C6, that is Master e to the left and Joel to the right
We rode to Tagaytay City yesterday. We left early, we rode fast and reached Tagaytay City earlier than usual:
I was at assembly site in front of INC by 5:10 Pres. Luis, asked us Gerry.and I to go to Taytay; Master E joined us at CME. We were there by 5:30. First to arrive was Ado and then Joel. The bulk of the riders arrived by 5:45 and we had to wait for Gerry Y.
We left Taytay at 6:00 am and we were in Bicutan before 7:00; were in Daang Hari by 7:30 and were in Bacoor by 8:00 am. Our snacks/breakfast was at Aling Bert. We were in GMA by 9am. about 10 am, we had lunch at 11 am at Paliparan near GMA (near Wilcon) at 11 am at RJ and even enjoyed some Videoke singing there, and we were at Daang Hari by 12. However, from Daang Hari, Master E had flat and I assisted him We were in Alabang by 1 pm however it rained so hard and we were marooned until about 230. At Alabang master had flat again.
I was with Master and assisted him in flat at Daang Hari (the 2nd flat) and at Alabang (at Belluvue hotel)
We left the hotel by about 2:30 despite the rain. The wind though had subsided
We caught up with the group near Jollibee in Bicutan just before C6 by 2:45 They said Nolite had left for Angono. We took off at 3:00 pm. I caught up with Nolite at the Highway 2000 bridge.He said he had to bike slowly because of the splatter.
I stopped to take picture of the leachate at the Taytay dumpsite.
We were in Angono by 3:45. I dropped by Puregold to buy some drink. I was tired and and thirsty
Without the rain and the flats, my ETA was 2 pm.
