The "Halimaws" and "Devils" rode fast and hard today.  The ride from Sacred Heart Parish in Tayuman up to Pisong Kape, a distance of 29 km took only 58 minutes.  That was fast.  They rode very hard knowing that we would ride 100 km (almost to Luisiana)  That effort could injure or burn/toast the other riders.  But they did. Wow.

                                16 guys joined the ride;   Eddie now wears the Recyclists jersey

                                  Its bike conomics;  they cook a lot for cyclists;  they spend a lot

How does biking affect the local economy?  I think it affects the places that bikers visit.  When it is not a biking day, the places we visit are dead - very little business.

At Pisong Kape, we would have probably ordered before 7 am yesterday about P1,000.00 plus in terms of softdrinks, lugaw and sports drink, and banana.  At an average of P40.00 per, we would have bought P1,200 worth of food.  At the buko store, the 31 or so cyclists buying P20.00 each would have bought P600.00 worth.  That could have provided enough income for the  family for the day.

                          At Manay's we paid Pl,100 for canton and monay;  this excludes softdrinks

                                  Food and drinks gone in a little under 5 minutes at Manay's

                                  Several thousands more were spent at the hot spring resort

                                 P12.00 for a banana at Pisong Kape, masyadong mahal?
