Searched for MTB rider met at Manang Rina Willax for sculpture works

Wheels of Happiness

Last Friday, this post searched for a biker from Longos Kalayaan for a possible sculpture contract.    We met him at 4pm Friday after a visit to a Calamba project.   He says he trained with the best in Angono and he has a group in Paete (the next town) who does sculpture work.  I hope he is one of the best

Met him at Manang Rinas resto at Bugarin about a year ago    He mentioned he does sculture. 

We have a pending project ast Calamba for a Christ the Redeemer (just like at Rio de Janeiro) 60 footer

I was left by fellow kapadyaks for the Lucban ride, I gave a chase and caught up with the group in Pagsanjan, with mere 30 km to go

I woke up 5:45 this morning kind of late for the bike ride to Lucban (a long ride 100 kms one way, 200 kms in all) I immediately dressed up (my bike and gear were ready since last night) and was in Sacred Heart at 6:05.   But the security officer said that they left at 5:45 (the moment I woke up) and so I gave chase.  That means I was 20 minutes late.

I stopped at Simples Lugawan.   None

I stopped at  Hacienda Pisong Kape.  At Nenas the MC rider inquired that if  I was inquiring about the same guys who wear my uniform,  they left 10 minutes ago.  That meant I was gaining on the tropa.

At KM 66 + about 900 meters, the Defender was there and Jimmy met an accident.  He was bumped by a motorcycle rider  from Pasig.  Jimmy was in great pain because he said he landed on his butt after he was thrown away from his bike.   His front wheel was misaligned. The poor guy was embraced by the MC rider who gave him P200.00 to have his whee aligned. That meant that I was closing in.  However, I had my breakfast:  had coffee and spag at Manang.  And saw Jimmy with Meong at the Defender drive past by.

That meant too that the riders would ride fast at their pace. They would no longer wait for Jimmy

I looked for them at  Mabitac.  None

At Manay's Famy None

At Manay in Pakil.  NOne

At Kalayaan None.

I was planning to stop at Kalayaan since that would be about 60 km.   all ready one way.   But I went on may be up to Lumban.  Then maybe at Pagsanjan.  That is KM 70 with only 30 km remaining up to Lumban  At about 9:45, I was in Business Center at Pagsanjan. And I was texting Engr. June Francisco whom I thought was with them, Jeff appeared.

I was surprised as they were that I was there. And so was I too.  I never expected that I could catch them (cold probably)

            The view of the Cardona diversion from Manila East Road in Morong

Its  a holiday today for the province of Rizal.  There is no work today and it means I can ride bike today.  But it was raining hard at 6:00 am and I was able to leave at 6:30.   I was in Morong by 730.  Lo and behold, in Cardona, there was no rain.

I passed through the dreaded diversion road of Cardona.  It is steeper than Antipolo or Bugarin or Caliraya.  

I checked the  112th June 11,  Rizal independence day celeb and there was none in Morong, Cardona, and Binangonan;  there was in Angono.
