Aimless, Part 2

Read Aimless, Part 1 here.
Another impromptu decision was made as we approached the corner that leads to the top part of the Maguyam trail.
“Diyan sa kanto na yan papuntang Maguyam trail (That’s the corner that leads to the Maguyam trail),” Doc told me as we pedaled towards it.
Then a light bulb flashed on.
“Saan ang bagsak [...]

Aimless

Last week plans were made with Tugel for a Cardiac Hill climb in Sta. Rosa today. The whole day Monday not a word was heard from him. I was looking forward to this ride as I haven’t been riding lately — not by choice. Weather’s been $#!t.
Monday night I sent out a text to Tugel [...]

Sanitarium: The Video

October 24, 2009, the Sanitarium ride happened. Click on the link to read about the ride or refresh your memory, but finally, after almost a year, I was able to fix and upload the video of this ride. It’s mostly the clips of our visitors: Vic, Ria, and her husband Dex — first-timers in Malipay.

Easy like Sunday morning…

I had to ride. I had too many rides canceled just this week due to a number of different reasons.

Then a friend from Twitter, @vicicasas, sent me a text a few days [...]

UPDATE: 2nd BGC Alley Cat Race

Another day of strong rains… another day of a canceled ride. I wonder what the weather will be like this weekend. A Reverse Palace ascent (Palace in the Sky in Tagaytay) is planned by the Backout Boys this Saturday (something worth getting excited about on my part as this would be my first time to [...]

New mission for the Backout Boys

I was brushing my teeth when my phone started ringing. I let it ring and finish up. When I checked the caller ID it showed Togs’ name. I was about to send a text message asking what’s up, when it rang again. I press the green button.
“Hello?” I say.
“Addict,” Togs greets me.
“What’s up?”
“We have a [...]
