Another flat today

Wheels of Happiness

While others are basking in the glory of their lap victories, I had my share of back to back - flats.   I was able to replace the broken Vittoria tire with old edition of Continental.  However I got another flat at Mambog today.  And my plan to scale climbs vanished.  I saw Sec Noe again.  However, there was a vulanizing shop nearby and had the flat repaired for P30.00.  No need to walk 10 km.

Am awaiting my Chao Yang tires order from an electronic pllatform

Wheels of Happiness

Joseph Javiniar (JJ) scores another victory at Tour of Luzon at its 7th stage from Lingayen to Labrador. ahead of Yellow Jersey holder Joo of Korea   Third was Marvin Corpus.   Corpus who was just behind 1:56 Joo, now faces 2 mins + lead of Joo.    Joseph scored a solo finish at the 5th stage Clark to Clark
Congratulations to the Excellent Noodles and Sir Alex Billan..

At the penultimate stage, Joo the Yellow Jersey maintains a 2+ minutes lead over Corpuz.  It was less than 2 minutes at the 6th stage (1:56).   Can Corpuz wrest the 2+ minuts lead of the Yellow Jeryse

Ean Cajucom of Victoria Sport scored a back to back victory earlier

Bashers abound saying that it was nauaght effort:  since Excellent Noodles and/Or JJ are nowhere in the top 3 classification, for GC and/or Team standing.

But a win is a win is a win and if you experience riding at that distance at this pace and temperature then you must realize how hard challenging it is to win.

Our riders deserve a congratulations:   To the winners and to the finishers.   Bravo Zulu.  Congrats
