Yesterday, I wanted to ride, but felt lazy.
Today, I wanted to ride, but felt lazy.
The reason stems from the thought of riding solo. Weekday rides are usually quick solo rides. Quick because I take advantage of the time when the kids are in school. I start the ride after my youngest has left for school [...]

The day before the just-concluded I-on Bike Extreme Games I was able to squeeze some time to do a short track reading. I sent a text out to Boomie asking if he wanted to meet me there and ride together. He did meet me there but decided on just bringing his motorbike, instead [...]

It was a Thursday, 14th of January.
The day before, as what happens quite often lately, I’ve realized, I vowed to go out and ride — solo or not. But as the time nears when I’d really have to start preparing for the ride the high I got was starting to wither down.
I was undecided. Quick [...]

“Quickie ride tomorrow, Malipay, 6/6:30AM, Daang Hari PNP outpost?”
That was my text message Monday night to a few people when I realized I could do a quick ride the next morning around Malipay (again), while looking for people who are available & might want to join me.
Tantan responded telling me they’ll be meeting at 7:30 [...]

I had to ride. I had too many rides canceled just this week due to a number of different reasons.
I felt the desperation yesterday. As soon as my 5-year-old left for school I was alone & it hit me suddenly — I should have prepared to go out for a ride. Timing is crucial in [...]

Turning the curve at the top of this slight incline I take in a deep breath, pedal lighter, and took a sip from my water bottle. Then I looked straight ahead. I noticed something different on the top part of the scene before me. It was dark. Good thing I know I wasn’t blacking out. It was the sky. The sky and clouds in the general direction that I’m going was real dark. Something out of a sci-fi movie.
