“Wanna do Tagaytay tomorrow?”
That’s the message I got from John. I verified if he was thinking of pedaling all the way to Tagaytay. He said yes. So I started wondering what the heck he has eaten.
I have my doubts as he has been saying how much he hates uphill climbs (as with any newcomer to [...]

Heavyweight Ride

Sun, Apr 11, 2010 – 7:43 PM

(L-R) Chris, Doc Riz, Borj, me
Our plan to pedal all the way to U.P. Los Baños, to watch the Big Daddy Downhill Cup, got canceled as soon as Doc Riz found out where the race was going to be held. Main reason is we will surely get caught in the dark on our way [...]

“Compensating”?

Fri, Feb 19, 2010 – 3:31 AM

The day my wife finally rode with me on a loaned mountain bike (thanks Bong!) was the first time I’ve ridden the Nuvali mountain bike tracks, though I’m pretty sure we weren’t able to ride the complete tracks as we were adjusting to match my wife’s riding level.
But as we were done with the first [...]

Nuvali, Nuvali batchu! Double date ride!

Fri, Feb 19, 2010 – 3:30 AM

This was on Valentine’s Day 2010, the first time my wife, Jam, tried mountain biking (on a loaned mountain bike; thanks Bong!). With us on this ride were Ian (fellow Backout Boys member) and his wife.
Ian knew we had to adjust to make this day’s ride enjoyable for my wife. Lei, his wife, was just [...]

Cardiac Attack, an uphill mountain bike race

Fri, Dec 4, 2009 – 5:46 PM

Both cars are in the repair shop. I thought one would be ready in time for the race. Guess not.
As soon as I found out about the car not being available for the race I sent a text message to Togs. I need a ride to the race.
His Mitsubishi Adventure can comfortably fit 3 persons, [...]

Road Trip to Cardiac

Fri, Sep 18, 2009 – 10:21 PM

Road trip. Most of the single track trails were still wet so we decided on staying on pavement (mostly) for this ride.

Palace in the Sky Cherry-Popping

Tue, Aug 25, 2009 – 4:45 PM

Waiting for take off
It was my first time to do the Palace in the Sky climb last Friday, Aug. 21, 2009. What should have been a very looong and leisurely ride turned out to be a day of a few personal landmarks all done in 1 day, namely my first time to use my GoPro [...]

Lolo Zaldy waiting for breakfast: binalot na lechon kawali
5:00 A.M., time to get up, I can’t miss this ride. One reason is I haven’t been to the Sta. Rosa trails in a while. Another reason is I haven’t really ridden the Sta. Rosa trails, I have only been to a few. But the main reason [...]
