Went up Taktak via Floodway, and Sumulong highway; joined Engr contractor

Wheels of Happiness

Joined Engr Fort Flojo, engineer contractor in Sunday ride to Taktak.   Went to Taktak via Manila East Road, Taytay up to Highway 2000, floodway, right turn to Marcos Highway, past Sta. Lucia, and then right to Sumulong Highway... And then up the hills, Valley Golf, Padis point, Cloud 9, Assumption Antipolo, Le Blanc and finally to Antipolo.  The lower Taktak where the glass church is located has thousands of joggers and bikers and hundred of food stall.  It was a happy place    And the place is the centerpoint of all the hundreds of bikers we met at Marcos Highway.  

This post overtook many riders but could not go past Engr.  because he is younger.  I am wary too of my age and fitness level.  (being 75 all ready)

We ate at the farthest end of the lower Taktak road in a place run by  Carol.

We also did the upper taktak where there were many photogs, and where there were uphill climbs.  

It was fund happy ride

Pogi Slovenian Cycling GOAT

Wheels of Happiness

Is Tadej Pogacar the worlds cycling GOAT (it could have been Lance Armstrong without the doping 5 TDF victories)




Superb tennis from Alex Eala at Mubadala, Washington DC; defeats opponent en route to semifinals; on collision course with Japans Naomi Osaka

Wheels of Happiness

Philippine tennis star Alex Eala defeated her opponent Elina Svitolina  worlds No 10  on the way to her quarterfinals.  Its the only positive news about the Philippines after reading so much on flood control scandal, impeachment, typhoon, flooding.  Her ranking would go up soon, having defeated a lot of top ranked players

The only positive leader visible for the country. Now.

Congratulations Alex...  Keep this up
