Why is Joel J not his usual self; why does he get tired easily?

Real Cyclists

                                        Is his wife's arrival the cause?  What do you think?

Angono, Rizal PHL   |  September 8, 2013

Joel was observed to be slowing down and being left behind by the "Halimaws" and the "demonyos"  At the Bosoboso ride, many were observing this to happenning to JJ.

Today, he begged off the Luisiana ride and broke off at Bugarin.

As usual there are speculations as to what is happening with JJ:

1.  His wife just arrived and he and she must be enjoying their sweet time;

2.  He nows work with ROPALI?

3.  His union is affiliated with PALIA?

If his wife leaves, he will be ok.  But many say his wife is not renewing contract abroad?  Is Joel becoming weaker?

Hahaha.  Dont be mad JJ.

                               Just a small scratch;  he fell on the grass at the side of the road

Our otherwise perfect ride to aborted Luisiana ride (it was raining hard when we were riding up Cavinti) was marred by the crashing of Chito -  he was edged off the side of the road in the high speed peloton.  He tried to climb back the high asphalt (about 4 inches high) and he crashed.  He had scratches but they were not bad.  He fell on the grass.

Pres Luis on the other hand broke his rear shifter cable near Pagsanjan before climbing Luisina. He must be able to shift because we were climbing.  Unfortunately, no one had a spare shifter cable.  They were able to obtain one, but the head would not stay (it was small) at the STI.  But Luis is strong and was resourceful.  We were able to climb the hills using high gears.

                               Gerry K and Chito at Pagsanjan;  he is OK

                               Pres Luis enjoying his meal in Famy;  he was not bothered by the broken cable

Tomorrow September 8, we have a long ride to Luisiana Laguna
