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 [...]

Malipay Roller Coaster

Published on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 By Francis Arellano

It was weird. Last Saturday I arrived at the usual meeting place of our group during our weekend rides, at the Daang Hari Police Station. From our group (Backout Boys and Team Prima) I was the first to arrive.
Text messages were previously sent to some of the guys asking if they would be riding. Only [...]

Call of the wind(ing tracks)

Published on Mon, Feb 22, 2010 By Francis Arellano

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 [...]

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 [...]

Published on Mon, Jan 4, 2010 By Francis Arellano

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 [...]

Malipay Assault with South Cycle

Published on Fri, Dec 18, 2009 By Francis Arellano

“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 [...]

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 [...]

Whole day quickie ride(s)

Published on Thu, Dec 3, 2009 By Francis Arellano

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 [...]
