                   Ready to leave for Angono from Manangquil beach resort in Nasugbu Batangas

Pacman lost to a better more talkative fighter.  Will there a rematch for even bigger price money?  We are all suckers to as P.T Barnaum said and may be Bob Araum. Nothing is free now;  only PPV to view great fights and even $10,000 ringside seats.  Thanks to all the hype, events become more expensive

So we rode back yesterday to see the fight.  We decided to leave early, considering that the ride back from Tuy was all uphill - 20 km and the heat would sap all our strength.  So we decided to sleep early May 1, 2015, wake at 3 am the following day, and leave at 5:30

Most of us woke at 3 am and we had great breakfast cooked by the resort staff.   Pritong tuyo, scrambled egg, 3 in 1 Nescafe, and fried rice - left over from last nights dinner of rice and sinigang na buto ng baboy

By 5:30 we were all ready.  We left at 5:40 after the prayers.   (Someone remarked that Nolite who used to rush people to leave was there - that was me.   Defensively I said we agreed on that and it was a duty to remind every one of the agreed schedule)

                                Jess and Gerry;  the Jollibee anchor taking advanced order

One of the bigger discussion yesterdays that consumed our ride was where to eat.  Initially it was McDo at Cainta, however the SG was not friendly.   Although the store was empty, he shooed our bikes away.  Then when we were in Imelda cor Karangalan, we were about to enter Jollibee and Mcdo. Then some said, we would rather be in Eastwood. near Padre Pio.  We were not able to enter Padre Pio, and when we were in Sta Clara, the loud voice said, after having decided that we would sub De la Strada for Padre Pio, we would eat at Petro Jollibee and so we did.

Even though Jollibee is pretty much organized, our coming upset their system a beat.

So much about debating where to eat.

                                Gerry Alan and Jun2 waiting for their turn to be served

                             Two carnal friends;  one cant exist without the other:   Richard and Secx Noe

                               Inseparable;  how sweet

Recyclists kapadyaks had difficulty in their feeding station yesterday; we had a great time at McDo though

                     Angry and hungry;  Richard complaining to VM about change of feeding sites


We had some frayed nerves and feelings yesterday regarding where to eat.  Since we could not proceed to Sky Ranch, the consensus was to eat at Dasmarinas.  So at 11:30 we rode down the Aguinaldo highway and by past 12, we were at Dasmarinas. Some guys were about to order their food when someone ordered to leave for the next (?) one.  Someone suggested at Jollibee but where.  No one stopped any of the 3 Jollibees along Paliparan.  The kapadyaks stopped at Daang Hari.  By that time, people were angry and hungry for denying, changing the place where to eat.

Only a handful joined the Tagaytay ride today, April 20, 2014; we did not reach the Sky Ranch

Angono, Rizal   Philippines  |  Easter Sunday  April 20 2014

                                   Look at the traffic, going to and from Skyranch

 

                 This bus  near 7 11burned and the fire has to be put out by chem fire extinguisher;  scary;  we abandoned the place and parking slot because we might catch fire too; or be hurt in an explosion

Maybe because it was Easter Sunday, we got only and handful of participants:


Jess V, Gerry Y,  Joel J,   Master E,  VM, Chito  F, Nolite, Richard A, Ado G, Val and Jorgeusbiuker.  Because of the traffic (and the burning bus, we were not able to proceed to SkyRanch   Jeff and Luis were with us at the assembly but did  not join the ride.  Val was not initially with us but caught us at C6

                         Richard leads the group in prayer before departure in front of Taytay Hall

                                 At Metrobank Daang Hari, the usual pit stop

                               Val, a cycling Pro (from the province) chased us at C6

                              Jeff rode to Baguio with 2 others last Thursday and Friday via Marcos Hiway.  Tsk tsk they had to walk past the tunnel to Green Valley.
