This is a delayed post, and just a short video of a part of our ride last Feb. 7, 2010 (video at the bottom of this post). It was an easy and light ride, but the call of the winding single track that leads to the “Puno ng Malipay” (“Tree of Malipay”) was just too [...]
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 [...]
January 3, 2010, I invited an old friend, Chris, who’s fairly new to mountain biking to visit us and try out the Malipay trails. Doc Riz & I have plotted a newbie-friendly route so as not to give Chris a hard time in the trails.
It being a Sunday the usual weekend riders were at the [...]
“Quickie ride tomorrow, Malipay, 6/6:30AM, Daang Hari PNP outpost?”
That was my text message Monday night to a few people when I realized I could do a quick ride the next morning around Malipay (again), while looking for people who are available & might want to join me.
Tantan responded telling me they’ll be meeting at 7:30 [...]
Last Monday was a national holiday. Since before the weekend I’ve been planning on getting my car from my friend’s repair shop in Q.C. which I was planning on getting by pedaling all the way from Cavite to his shop. My bike rack was left in the car since I pedaled home when I left [...]
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 [...]
It was a Thursday night. The clock read 10:58 P.M.
With some prodding and negotiating I was able to secure a riding visa (from my wife) for the next day. Expiration is 10 A.M.
As it was late I sent a text message to a friend who I know would most likely be available to ride on [...]

Inspired by Nema!
I’m lacking sleep. I just had to wake up early today to take care of the kids before they go to school. The 3 boys have different schedules in the morning to I can’t just prepare them all for school then go back to sleep.
With my “fuel gauge” on low I have decided not go [...]
