Following the Chinese example: having a round thing - a loop

Wheels of Happiness


Surely yesterday a number of groups did a loop.  Maybe Laguna loop.  There were a number who late in the night as we struggled going home going home probably from Laguna loop.   We found posts of groups who had Laguna loop.

This  post accompanied a group of newbies who aspired to do a loop despite limited long ride experience.
Right at the start the group started on a wrong foot (having grown with a more disciplined group)

1.  Late arrival;   three were late and guest riders announced on last minute;
2.  The riders did not conform to the prescribed uniform or color;
3.   When asked to vote on choice of route, the majority (which included the 5 guest riders outvoted the
       leader and sponsor.   At the start there were two distinct two groups on a single ride.  So the group 
       of 7 stuck together
4.  The pack one pack all was not observed.  They rode as one.   And did not mind the sponsor and lea-
      der.   The main purpose of the joiners was to have a boasting ride and mind their ""ëchos

They were able to finish the feat in 18 hours. They have to be congratulated    And more things have to 
learned:

1.  They have to work as a group:   one voice to listen to;  wearing the same uniform
2.  Taking care of one another.  There was a suggestion to divide into two groups so that someone would look after the struggling member or those who are left behind.
3.   Reading the guide previously distributedfor the ride and following them

Good luck to them but over the year they were lead to be riders.  And it is sad to leave them and failed
 to make them as a team.

Exiting a gc on biking, biking group

Wheels of Happiness

Was part of a very small private biking group involved in short MTB rides.  This post served as guide and mechanic for the group since most were newbies.  We were able to go on long rides:   Punta Jalajala, Sierra Madre, Pangil, Most short rides were at QR road Mahabang Parang, 

We planned Talim Island, Real, Laguna loop ride, Tagaytay.   However this would not happen because the 3 other members the mjority had work on Saturday or Sunday, one was hija de pamilia had and had curfew hours,   The other had challenges with the better half.

Thus the group was not a group    And the reason for its existence is nowhere now.   They also gravitated towards certain kuyas, and had their own outings.   The posts were non bike and  and as others say, they were full of echos.     No choice but to exit the group and GC

Why buwis buhay (or bingit disgrasya)?  Kasi we posed on the middle of the road just so we can have the photo ops...

Group pics

 x         We occupied one lane and almost at the middle of the road.  The vehicles are travelling fast, mind you.
