Sanitarium: The Video

Published on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 By Francis Arellano

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.

2nd Cross-Country MTB Adventure Challenge experience

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 [...]

Cardiac Attack, an uphill mountain bike race

Published on Fri, Dec 4, 2009 By Francis Arellano

Both cars are in the repair shop. I thought one would be ready in time for the race. Guess not.
As soon as I found out about the car not being available for the race I sent a text message to Togs. I need a ride to the race.
His Mitsubishi Adventure can comfortably fit 3 persons, [...]

Then a friend from Twitter, @vicicasas, sent me a text a few days [...]

Palace in the Sky Cherry-Popping

Waiting for take off
It was my first time to do the Palace in the Sky climb last Friday, Aug. 21, 2009. What should have been a very looong and leisurely ride turned out to be a day of a few personal landmarks all done in 1 day, namely my first time to use my GoPro [...]

Too Quickie Sunday

Published on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 By Francis Arellano

Last Saturday Frank wasn’t able to join the group’s ride. This seemed odd as the whole week we have been talking via Yahoo! Messenger and he’s been excited to ride.
Nearing the end of the ride, around 10 A.M. I get a text message from him. Seems like he just woke up. He was blaming not [...]
