Bracing for the muddy and rainy ride

It's been raining intermittently the past days. Also, PAGASA has announced it's officially rainy season in the country.

Today, I expected a muddy ride and, possibly, a rainy one. Hence, I put out my mudguards and re-installed them on my 29er.

 

At Macabud, Rodriquez, Rizal:

I'm now familiar with the Bulacan-Rizal route

At last, after the ride from SJDM, Bulacan to Rodriguez, Rizal yesterday, I've become familiar with the route already. I've ridden this route for a few times but hadn't able to memorize the route yet.

The ride was organized by YummyNia. The group who rendezvoused at Lagro met the Bulacan group at Tungkong Mangga. Thence, we proceeded to jackhammer trails and bricktown. When the group broke up, most of the riders turned left going to Ygay, Tungko; while, I, with two riders from Marikina City, turned right going to Rodriguez, Rizal.

Two days of quickie rides

Last Saturday and Sunday, I had limited time to bike. I needed to be home by 1:00 pm and 12:00 noon, respectively. So, I just biked the nearest trails from our place.

Saturday - at Macabud, Rodriguez, Rizal. I was supposed to join a group of bikers going to Angat, Bulacan. Instead, I just sent them off from Neopolitan Oval up to Pangarap Village in North Caloocan only. Thence, I entered the Pangarap Village and into Macabud trails. I got home by 1:30 pm.

Sunday - at Tungko, SDM City, Bulacan. It's about 30 minutes by pedaling from our place. I just pedaled up to a point where I could return back home before 12 noon.

Araw ng Kagitingan ride

Yesterday, I joined the PhilMoFo's bikers to the trails of Macabud, Rodriguez; San Jose Del Monte City and Norzagaray, Bulacan. We rendezvoused in San Mateo, Rizal and proceeded to our destinations at around 7:30 am.

It was my first time in these trails; hence, I encountered difficulties especially in downhills and uphills. Actually, this is the most difficult ride I've ever made.

CPB - PMTB Adopt a Family Project

CPB is a group of bikers in PMTB. CPB means Certified Poser Bikers. The group does not ride for fun only but for cause as well. One of its projects is the "Adopt a Family".

Last Sunday, the group rode to Puray, Rodriguez, Rizal and visited its adopted family - the Doroteo family.

The group met up at Chow King, San Mateo, Rizal

Nice job, CPB; and keep up the good works. God bless you!

Revisiting Wawa Dam
