Criscar resort in Adelina St, San Carlos Hts, Tayuman Binangonan, Rizal

                              A business without big sign is a sign of of small business?


It took me a while to learn and remember the site of our year end party.  Criscar resort.  Someone told me to turn right to Rebecca, then turn right again.  It was the wrong turn.  It was right in front of the road at Adelina, (going up to the water tank) from Gate 1.  It does not seem to be very unique nor had good signage nor a good PR to be well known.  Maybe this post will drive traffic to their site. (or maybe they do not have website?)< I found out they have website which they can improve further.  Villa Criscar

Maybe they email:   jorgeus.george@gmail.com  How they  can have simple landing page website, cheap.

We just finished the Christmas get together for the Recyclists at Criscar in Adelina St, San Carlos St. Tayuman, Binangonan, Rizal.  Some 24 Recylists including those who came from abroad arrived.  Willy Cunanan just got of the ship, Richard Ang had a bad crash at C6 last December 1 on the way to Ternate.  Jose Atanacio whom we have not seen for quite a while reappeared.  It was our year ender - a year end celebration and a happy and memorable one.

It is not everyday that you get to Ternate.  When we had the opportunity to take pictures, we did so with gusto, even if were behind  the peloton.

Angono, Rizal, Philippines  | December 2, 2013

                                   Most of the Recyclists were assembled by 5:42

Our bike ride yesterday to Ternate saw us assemble at 4:30 am, and we were at home by 8:00 pm.  It was long and ardous ride, and marred by many delays:

1.  the accident of Richard at C6

2.  flat tires of Angel (1x),  Nanding (2x),  jumping chain and 8 of wheels of Edgar;  (dnf from Sucat)

3.  rains at Mt. Palay palay,

4.  misunderstanding about eating arrangement at Kaybiang  (there was no place to eat nor rice available)

Because of the delays, we were still at Daang Hari by 5:30.  It was still dark.  By 6:15, we were in corner of C Garcia in Bicutan (C6) and we did not know that there was a road rage incident.  A certain PO Potilla, shot a person dead when the latter tried to knife him.

But despite those little things it was still a long ride to remember.

              Vic with Richard;  both works at Angono munisipyo.  First time for Vic to join us  DNF

           Erning with pamangkin Joseph;  Joseph does not know much about Daang Hari despite his biking shorts label

                            Nanding joined us in the long ride for the first time;  DNF though

                                  Assembly at Iglesia;  time was at 5:18

                                 First flat casualty:     Angel repairing the flat at the Carry All

                                       Frequent cause of delay

                                Going up to Gen Trias

                         Waiting for the rain to stop at Mt Palay palay in Ternate - 30 mins delay

                                   It was raining and it was all going up

                                     There was no rice at Kaybiang tunnel;  back to DENR resto

                                   Waiting for Nanding and Edgar at 13 who had flats at Naic

                                Did Master have flat also?

                                   Another long wait just before Daang Hari

                         From Daang Hari (445)Bacoor to Petron took just 26 minutes - that is fast

                              We had to refill our tanks at this Petron station; they were empty

                                       Master gesticulating

                                     Tito

Since sunsets at 7:30, and it was all ready dark at Daang Hari (we were maybe 6 km to Alabang) we agreed to:   have those with lights and blinkers to be in front, those without would stay behind, and the team vehicle would light us.  It would be dangerous at the Alabang Zapote road, the service road, and at C6.  Thanks God, nothing more untowards happened along the way.

                        Waiting for the slow ones (I was not one of them) at Highway 2000 after C6

                                       Alan with his bike

                                      Jeff

                                       Finally home

                                  Were the bikes tired?

My bike ride today September 28, 2013

It is great day to bike today.  The sun shone brightly today.  I left at 6:20 and I brought out my Fuji SL - 1 with Campy Group set.  It was gathering mold in my room.  I passed by Sacred Heart Parish and was off by 6:40.   Richard caught up with me near Montevideo while I was sprinting up the hill. We were together up at Callahan but then again I got a flat tire.  He did not hear me and left me behind.   It took me some 20 minutes to repair the flat because I failed to notice that I was not able to seal off the bead completely.  I inflated at 80 psi and the interior was bulging.

Thus I was in Maybancal, Simples Lugawan by 7:40 and all the stalwarts of Recylists were there:  Jeff, Jess V, Abet V, Luis, Joel, Armin, Edgar, Alan, Papa Ric, VM, Master, Richard, Peter and of course me.

VM, the whistle blower, blew his whistle at about 8:15.  I biked ahead of the rest and they caught up with me at KM 54 and never looked back. They rested at Pisong Kape but I went up to km 69.  I was there by 9:15 and I bought some fruits.

I went down by 9:30 and was in Morong by 10:30.  On the way, I rode with some Fuji bike owners.  I left them on the climb up to Tanay cemetery, and passed me at the road widening portion of the Manila East Road in Lagundi.  I took picture of the road widened which became a solar palay drier.

I was in Cardona by 11 and was home by 11:30.  The sun was hot and shining brightly like I said earlier

                                  Together again -  Recyclists

                                  JJ (his wife is still here and is therefore very weak) and Armin Z

                                      Jess V, Abet V, and Peter A-  chicboys?

                               Stolen shot group picture;  where was I?

                                   What is is his name?

                                  Another whistle blower?
