Sanitarium: The Video

Tue, Jun 15, 2010 – 7:15 PM

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…

Fri, Nov 27, 2009 – 4:49 PM

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 [...]

Sanitarium

Wed, Oct 28, 2009 – 11:03 PM

Months have passed since the last time the group rode the Malipay trails. Main reason is the rainy season, along with typhoons Ketsana and Parma.
Plans of going back and riding the Malipay trails made Metallica’s song “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” play in my mind.
Then a friend from Twitter, @vicicasas, sent me a text a few days [...]

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.

UPDATE: 2nd BGC Alley Cat Race

Thu, May 7, 2009 – 9:11 AM

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

Sat, Apr 25, 2009 – 8:53 AM

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 [...]

Just a quick post about the 2nd Karera sa Hacienda race which was held last March 22, 2009, at the Hacienda Escudero resort at Tiaong, Quezon.
The event falling on a Sunday I brought my whole family to the event. Instructions for support were given to my wife.

We met up with my fellow Backout Boys at [...]

Sunday morning rain is falling…

Tue, Mar 17, 2009 – 3:17 PM

Article title taken from Maroon 5′s song Sunday Morning.
After the freak out #2 moment I was sitting at my PC, checking mail, checking the 4×4 Philippines and PhilMoFo forums, and thinking of going back to sleep.
My cellphone then beeps at a little past 5 A.M. It was Frank. He’s asking if I would be riding.

Well, [...]
