Why Real Men?

Some guys are intrigued by the title of the post:  RealMen!!!!

First of all we biked to Real, Quezon.

Second, we biked approximately l00 km one way without back up vehicle or logistics. Out and back that is 200 km, and equivalent ride to Baguio, or a good length lap in Tour de France.

Third, the route was for Real Men Really.  20 km going up to km l00 without recovery; the same going back. That is twice the length of Bugarin.  Only Real Men can do that.

Do we need to say more?  I feel I am a more complete rider after completing this feat.

Thanks To Mr. Ace Tia

Have bike, we will help save the earth...

Mr. Ace Tia, a former Entrep Student at AGSB and former officer of SkyCable, sent me magazine which he bought from Singapore, together with some of the books I lent him The Ultimate Ride by Chris Carmichael (coach of  Lance Armstrong) Bike for Life by Roy M. Wallack & Bill Katovsky.  Now that they are back with me, I can share more on this bike blog.

Thanks Ace.  By the way, Ace owns a fiber carbon bike frame with SRAM red changer.  Wow.

One of the interesting things in the Cycling Plus Magazine is large number of bikes for sale.  But they are expensive because they are priced in British Pounds.  Bikes should be cheaper because we are near the source.
 The two books plus the magazine should be interesting source of ideas to write on later on.
