Aimless, Part 2

Read Aimless, Part 1 here.
Another impromptu decision was made as we approached the corner that leads to the top part of the Maguyam trail.
“Diyan sa kanto na yan papuntang Maguyam trail (That’s the corner that leads to the Maguyam trail),” Doc told me as we pedaled towards it.
Then a light bulb flashed on.

Aimless

Last week plans were made with Tugel for a Cardiac Hill climb in Sta. Rosa today. The whole day Monday not a word was heard from him. I was looking forward to this ride as I haven’t been riding lately — not by choice. Weather’s been $#!t.
Monday night I sent out a text to Tugel [...]

Bato-bato-pick

“Wanna do Tagaytay tomorrow?”
That’s the message I got from John. I verified if he was thinking of pedaling all the way to Tagaytay. He said yes. So I started wondering what the heck he has eaten.
I have my doubts as he has been saying how much he hates uphill climbs (as with any newcomer to [...]

Heavyweight Ride

(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 [...]

His Mitsubishi Adventure can comfortably fit 3 persons, [...]

Lolo Zaldy waiting for breakfast: binalot na lechon kawali
5:00 A.M., time to get up, I can’t miss this ride. One reason is I haven’t been to the Sta. Rosa trails in a while. Another reason is I haven’t really ridden the Sta. Rosa trails, I have only been to a few. But the main reason [...]

Family above all

Today being a Saturday I didn’t need to contact my riding group, The Backout Boys, if there is a ride. Weekends are the group’s riding days.
Some of us have prior commitments on this day, though, and instead of pedaling all the way to Sta. Rosa, with one of us already informing the group he will [...]
