Published on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 By Francis Arellano

I’m still tired. Having a very humid, sleepless night before the race, and waking up real early as I had to drive out of my way to Shell along Daang Hari to meet up with my other Team Prima team mates Borj and Ryan, then go back to meet with Prof.
I didn’t want to be [...]

Heavyweight Ride

(L-R) Chris, Doc Riz, Borj, me
Our plan to pedal all the way to U.P. Los BaƱos, 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 [...]

I keep pedaling on the slight uphill road of Daang Hari with Rod. Suddenly I feel Darna, my Fuji Outland Pro bike, sway from side to side.
