Heavyweight Ride

Sun, Apr 11, 2010 – 7:43 PM

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

Broken

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 [...]

Couldn’t… shouldn’t… wouldn’t say NO!

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 [...]

Leading the way was Chucky and I was following next. Behind me was Doc Riz’s brother Warren, his son John, and taking up the rear was Doc Riz.

As Chucky approached the creek he called out a warning, [...]

Listen to your body

Fri, Feb 13, 2009 – 7:48 PM

Yesterday (Thursday) as I was having my haircut Frank sent me a text message asking if I can ride today. After thinking twice of things I need to do I replied saying I’ll be able to ride. Going home I started sending text messages to the usual (and not-so-usual) suspects about the ride.

DH RACE, but not downhill…

Mon, Feb 2, 2009 – 1:57 PM

Bladder? Bottle? Bladder? Bottle?

Auditions

Thu, Jan 15, 2009 – 2:00 PM

It was supposed to be a quick weekday ride. What should have been done in a relaxed 1-hour loop took up most of the morning, with us finishing around 11:30 A.M.

I was at the meeting place, at the police outpost along Daang Hari, at 7 A.M. Jun arrived at around 8 A.M., followed shortly by [...]
