“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 [...]

Trail Traps no more

Fri, May 14, 2010 – 12:10 PM

After quite a long time of not riding in Malipay (quite, as I usually ride there at least 3 times a week), I rode there again last Tuesday. It was partly work, but I’m not complaining.
The ride required us to do the whole Malipay loop. This excited me as this will be my first time [...]

Trail Traps – BEWARE!

Diego (taken before the March 14, 2010 ride)
Late this morning Diego G. and I did a quick heatstroke ride in the Malipay trails. As I couldn’t ride early we were able to start at around 10 A.M. (now you know why I call it a heatstroke ride; damn weather!)
Since I have a full day (ride, [...]

Thursday, a group of friends and I explored some trails that branch out from the main Malipay trail network. It was a good break for us all as we are regulars of the Malipay trails. As I said in one of my tweets that day when I got home, “Great ride early this [...]

Broken

Fri, Apr 9, 2010 – 9:42 PM

Thanks to Hatch who showed me the eroded part on the right side of the track is now rideable. After the ride when he showed us I tried it out during one of the weekday rides Borj and I do.
This section of the Malipay trail network is the part that leads from the main Malipay [...]

Easy spin to hard mashing

Thu, Mar 18, 2010 – 1:53 PM

Not sure about the distance. My cyclocomp stopped working.
Entered the trails at around 6:30AM, was at the exit at 9AM.
Met 2 new riders (Chris and Dennis) c/o Tantan. From the Malipay single track route towards the Tamarind tree we rode the Original Bokiko route (fun winding single track) which exits in San Pedro, Laguna. Then [...]

Couldn’t… shouldn’t… wouldn’t say NO!

Fri, Feb 19, 2010 – 3:41 AM

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 [...]

I-on Extreme track reading

Fri, Feb 5, 2010 – 12:04 PM

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 [...]
