I used to wonder why I am always behind the bike rides;
l. First of all age matters (am a senior 62)
2. I take pictures of the ride; for the blog/facebook
3. I still have the pack one pack all attitude especially the rescue/sweeper mentally in mountain trekking. You do not mind your own safety and you make sure that your companions are OK. Hence when master had two more flats, I made sure that I stood by him.
I do not know whether it is a strength or weakness?

Today is a AdeMU holiday; it is feast of St. Ignatius de Loyola and birthday of my eldest daughter.
I biked today up Callahan Cardona. I left at 6:30 and even went to church at Sacred Heart in Tayuman, Binangonan Rizal. I managed to pass one MTB and one road biker.
I met on the way back: Papa Rick near Iglesia in Cardona. VM near Km 28 and several CME riders from Taytay. I practiced intervals and hard hills climb. I was t home by 8; I still have work to do.

How did I do in the Tagaytay ride?

I am not ashamed to tell that the rest of the Recyclists wait for me. But before they had to wait for 10 minutes or so, now, it takes 2 to 3 minutes for me to arrive (that is according to Joel)
At the C6 portion I was in the middle of the pack and even was at the front of the paceline for a while. They overtook me at 3/4 portion of the road.
At the Bicutan to Alabang portion, I was near the front, and reliquished the advantage near the Alabang Zapote road (they were ahead by just 200 meters)
At Daang Hari, up to about 4/5ths of Daang Hari, I stayed with the lead pack.
I and master were behind at Paliparan and Greenwoods up to Silang
At Silang to Tagaytay, we (Master and I were behind) but overtook Ado at around km 48. Ado though overtook me at km 52. (That was near the rotonda all ready)
What did I do as we climbed? I tried spinning which I watched at You Tube as an Alberto Contador strategy. The climbing was much much easier and I did not feel tired. I was able to stay close to the leaders.
