note: quoted time are estimates.
0630 : Peepz started arriving in trickle at the meet-up place, Sandiganbayan, Commonwealth.after a while me, solo, jun, ramon and mojiks decided to proceed first to fafarock's place and adjust the meet-up over there
0700 : arrival of the first group at fafarocks place. fafarock upon seeing the first group volunteered to join the group for the breakfast at lagro market
0800 : arrival of the final group to fafarock's place. 23 riders going our of sitio seville.....what a site to behold.
0815 : arrival at lagro market, decided instead to have breakfast at pangarap to compensate for lost time, fafarock:no bail-out , okay... breakfast at pangarap trailhead
0845 : arrival at pangarap (chito waiting at pangarap at gate)
0845-0915: breakfast at pangarap (bread and some softdrinks)
0916 : Saddle-Up / nhan and goku doing trailmastering chores, while me and chito doing sweeper chores. aba....aba.....fafarock still with the group......no bail-out .....says that he is a GRUNT ;D ;D kaya no bail-out ;D
0920 : start of the trailride, entering the rocky road trail via the pangarap trailhead
you can almost hear the ohhhhs and ahhhhs of the locals on seeing the bunch pedalling their way papasok to the trailhead.....oh what a sight to behold
Trail Condition : Super dry na dry ang trail.
Weather Condition : on entering the trailhead, overcast and looks like it is about to rain. Perfect for trailriding.
Riders Condition : On Cloud Nine
First Sosyalan ( La Mesa Ecotrail Gate/along rocky road )
Exotics at white beach....white ladies at the white beach......tamaraws for pulutan...endangered specie daw, kambing na lang will do, but don't forget the MAMAM portion daw, nasobrahan na sa sosyalan, it's time to hit the trail.
First event for the day : Flat tire by bernard after bombing the technical downhills.
Weather still overcast, did some if not a lot of hike-a-bike with kuya rocky on some uphill portions, worth it naman, daming sosyalan
second sosyalan : near the bayabas tree . the start of a series of oneupmanship show between the gutierrez twins.
Before 1100 : The tail group reaches the rockyroad trailend papasok ng Macabud, the head group decided on going ahead of the tail group. fafarock, due to some earlier commitment (b-day ng apo) have to (finally) bail-out ;D (or was it before the macabud ascent?)
second event of the day : Flat tire by bernard before the steep macabud hill ascent. aftr repairing the flat tire, chito decided on changing rig with bernard since he thinks that his rig's tire can carry bernard better (judge from what you will see in the soon to be posted pics, to understand what i mean)
third event of the day : flat tire by bernard rig's tire (again?) a little bit after the macabud ascent, so it's not the rider, its the tire after all. this one took doctors chito and nhan to fix a little bit longer, while me and kaneda had some sosyalans. on the road, we met father and 14 year old son mt biking tandem of norman and his son's name which i didn't catch (mtbaddicts/grupo ni bud). he was impressed by the group's numbers which he met along the road to licao2 terminal. exchanged CP no. with him and promised to invite him on PinoyMTBiker rides. at the trailside also while doing repair, a guy in his AUV pulled over and commended the group's number. he says he's from montalban and does some recreational mt. biking, gave him my no. and asked him to txt me to join PinoyMTBiker rides.
1130 : tires finally fixed and went on to do the final push to licao2 terminal with the heat of the sun overhead cooking us (temperature was easily in the 33-35 degree centi).
1200 : finally, the tail group reaches the terminal, with the head group already finished with their lunch and doing a lot of sosyalan. bernard, was the last rider to arrive at the terminal and was welcomed with a "naglalagablab na palakpakan"
1200-1245 : lunch at terminal, sosyalan, kodakan (drew in his executive biker get-up), and the continuation of what was to be a series of oneupmanship show of the gutierrez twins.
1246 : Saddle-up and the start of the final leg of the ride home via the SWEET downhills of the famed (and surreal-marcs description) bricktown.
Uneventful downhill ride all the way to Bricktown Gate, with the head group pedalling all the way to araneta property gate
4th event of the day : cramps by allan after the short uphill leading to bricktown gate (nanibago with the lightweight HT after getting used with his heavyweight FULSUS). bernard, whom we will know was a sport therapist pala for the teletech basketball team, was to give allan some massage on his cramped muscle, gave some pointers on his expertise (masama pala sa katawan ang extra joss, etc.) and on mention of salt, kaneda remembered that he have that "BIG" pack of fish crackers on his backpack (how did you manage to fit that in your backpack brad? ) so the group had a nice snack of crunchy fish crackers for our supply of salts (iwas-cramps). driver, worried on the tail groups delay, decided on pedalling back to us and told us that if some riders from the head group decided on going ahead, he'll tell them it was okay to do so. we will find out later on that "all" the riders on the head group would decide to cool their heels at the araneta gate and wait for us.
5th event of the day : while preparing for the saddle-up, drew will find-out that he had his rear tire flat. after fixing that "very problematic" change of rear tire tubes, we were finally up and about for the ride back home.
almost 1400 : hooked-up finally with the head group and after some banterings of the now becoming a comedy duo, gutierrez twins, the group finally decided that it was getting late and it was time to go home.
ohhhhh the sweet ride downhill from the araneta gate up to that subdivision leading to pangarap and after a final reststop, it was now pedalling from pangarap to lagro market (via that rolling hills of quirino highway)
almost 1345 : arrival at lagro market. short stop to wait for the group straggler........bernard (again!)
around 1500 : saddle-up for the ride to fafarock's house
6th event of the day : flat tire ang aking problematic rear tire (it's good i was already at lagro market). solo, nhan and ramon decided on staying to help me and the main group pedalling to fafarocks house.
around 1530 : still managed to catch-up with the main group exiting their way from sitio seville. noticeably absent was bernard, who after observing na "nangangapal na ang kanyang
batok" requested to hitch with mojiks for ride (near) his home.
around 1545 : final reststop and merienda at a roadside bakery (after north fairview) of what was left of the group. final sosyalan, saddle-up and padyak for the final ride back home.
thank you peepz for that wonderful ride we had yesterday, sobrang enjoy mga brad. with all the sosyalan and jokes......pumadyak ba tayo ? that trailride was effortless, the recovery became very fast with all the reststop jokes and sosyalan.
@mojiks, i hope you enjoyed the ride with your PinoyMTBiker-MM brothers.. i hope you didn't feel sleepy with the sosyalan pace
kuya rocky : you're a real grunt man, idol talaga kita! but don't forget the word of that ride.......FULSUS ;D
the SC will hope to ride with you again brothers. sosyalan tayo ulit ;D
pictures to follow @official SC photographers drew and chito
Pedalling and Socializing, a perfect way to have a weekend riding.
