I was unable to join the Jalajala ride.

Wheels of Happiness

I have been behind my bike rides because of a teaching assignment. It ends on a Friday but I take advantage of the Saturday to visit businesses in the province.  Sometimes, or often, the travel takes long. Twice, I arrived at two hours past midnight.  That makes me unfit for any type of ride, even up to Cardona.

Sorry guys, just four more weeks. I cant turn down this assignment too which gives me a chance to leave a legacy in business management/entrepreneurship. (Please follow   Prof Jorge at Ateneo)

Enjoy your rides.

We just had the Ash Wednesday rite, very soon we shall have the Bisikleta Iglesia

Wheels of Happiness

We just had the Ash Wednesday rite last Wednesday (when else) marking the start of Lenten Season. Some say it s a 40 day denial (that we lie or we sin)

Pretty soon we shall have the  Bisikleta Iglesia.   It is a well visited and well shared post.   Thus our biking has a religious undertone.  Many readers bet a glimpse of Phil religious rites and practices.

I did two rides today: one was am, and the other was a night ride March 6 2014

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal  Philippines   |  March 6, 2014

I did two rides today:

1.  one was am ride to Morong Rizal at 6:20 am and back via the Diversion road ending at 8:00

2.  pm run to Marikina City (to John Wilkes bike shop) at 4:00 pm after Boyeth of Haoooh regrease  the hubs of the Cosmic aero wheelset, ending at 6:50.

Am ride.  I started at 6:20 after passing briefly at Sacred Heart Parish.  I tried to do a 50 x 15 gear on the way to Cardona and Morong.  I did Callahan though at 50 x 21 doing rapid pedalling.   On the way back I passed through the diversion road.  However, I eased up on the gear doing it 34 x 23.  Without other riders, it was quite easy.  No heavy breathing.

Pm ride .  From Haooh I biked through MEG and floodway.  I was at Ligayas by 4:45 and at John Wilkes by 5:00 pm.  John Wilkes sold to me the Exustar cleats for only P350.00 and Shimano for P650.00 and paid them by card.  I paid P50.00 to the mechanic to install the Exustar cleat to my carbon fiber Scott shoes.  He pitied the old cleats which was pretty beaten up.  I had coffee at McDo at Marcos Hiway and biked starting at 6:00 pm via the Imelda hi way.  The traffic was heavy.  at junction, at Brookside and Tikling.  I was home though by 6:50.  I think it was  strong  fast ride home
