Age number ride yesterday up to Quisao Pililla

Wheels of Happiness

I rode remembered my age with a 76 km ride to Quisao Laguna up to km 65 post.

65 -27 km reading in Angono  =  38 x 2  =  76.

I rode home via Diversion, a steep stiff ride.

I visited also the wake of the mother of former employee at Tatala Binangonan.  Also 2 km steep climb.

Happy birthday to me.  

Our bike ride to Jalajala yesterday May 29, 2016

Vhen Apran  and I rode together to Jalajala yesterday.  We got together in Morong Cardona boundary. He recognized me but I did not because he was wearing the new uniform.  We had breakfast at Simples Lugawan in Maybancal Morong.  There we saw the Recyclists:    Master, Meong, Jess, Pres. Luis, Gerry Etoy the BCC, and Taytay Cyclists.

After breakfast, we decided to bike to Pisong Kape in Pililla.   Just at the hill before Lagundi I shifted the MTB gear to 44 x 13 and overtook the peloton and never gave the lead until km 58 which was my target distance for the all out ride (doing 32 to 35)  Etoy and Pres Luis were on the lead and we did rubber band pacing in Tanay.

When we arrived in Pililla, I told Vhen we would go to Quisao so we did (that was Km 63)  I still went on until km 73 past the welcome arch to Jalajala.  We had buko (only P15) at Niyugan where we met former councilor Idol (a la Levy Celerio - he can play musical insturments at his mouth lips and nose.

I was pacing Vhen while trying hard gears   44 x 11 and 13.  I was trying what Iveler did on the race.  High gear, body close to the tube and rapid pedalling rate.  The method is hard on the thighs and back

Pit stop at pisong kape where we had drinks.  I had small gatorade and plenty of water.   We biked again and I still paced Vhen using hard gears.  I tried to climb Tanay hill with 44 x 17 and even standing to compensate for the high gear.  We stopped at Vista open air resto and garden for some drinks and Vhen for lugawa

Another stop at Cardona where we had water and biscuits  We were intervieweded by the store keeper on where we came from, why are you biking, the cost of the bike.

We arrived past 12.  It was hot and we had to make frequent stops

My bike ride today to Quisao Pililla, my hard chain ring day

I rode at 6:45 this am and it was a great day to bike, after rain yesterday and last night. One can feel happiness and joy for waking up this morning, feel the fresh air, and nice feeling to be alive and strong.  We take care of the body given to us by the Lord and we eat good food, sleep early, avoid vice, and in the morning, we savor the cool morning air the warmth from the early sun's ray.  We say a little prayer in the church, and we praise the glory and power of the Lord.  We pray to keep us safe from harm

Today I biked to Quisao Pililla.  It was may hard chain ring day.  53.  I covered the hills at 53 large chain ring:  yes:    Montevideo, Callahan, Namay, the Baras boundary, and the hill before Quisao.  I even rode up  Cardona diversion at 53 x 36.  I thought that was not possible. But I did it.

Today was a training for strength and speed.  I tried to do 53 x 11.  But it was a little bit tough.

Great ride today.  Solo

A Long Ride Today to Jalajala

Have bike, we will travel...

I have not made a ride for the last two weeks because of the rain.  Today we rode to Jalajala (it is about l00 km ride.  I thought that I would not make it because I thought I got weak for not riding consistently.  But I did.  I was not just able to make pace for he last 5 km.  They rode the last 5 km at about 40 kmh.

But going back I had a headstart. The group caught up with me at Malaya. They stopped in Quisao bacause of light shower but I went on.  We finished late because of plenty of flats:  Master, Angel, and the new riders.

Next week we ride Sierra Madre.  Wow that is tough!
