it is my last day of my stay in Cebu City and I was really bloody tired after the Sinulog parade and I have decided to hit the Cebu City metropolis. I find it risky to hit the roads because of the those "pasaway" Chariot and Elf jeepneys because they really make kaskas and they keep on blocking motorists way! I headed to Magellans Cross to have pictorial with my rig and headed to YKK to purchase a Serfas tube because my Toxic tube is defective. After hitting the downtown roads I headed straight to IT park in Lahug and I did some rounds around the facility. After like 5 rounds around IT park I went straight ahead to the uphills of Lahug, while doing padyak on the uphills I was able to meet an XC biker named Sir Philip, he is a member of the Ringside Cycling Club (not sure of the name) I am happy that I had someone with me in company during the climb. I asked where he will be going and he said that he is going to padyak to Busay, so I tagged along with him. We were able to reach Busay at about 5pm and the view of the metropolis is spectacular! after that spectacular view we headed back to the metropolis. Me and Marvin (bocoycoy) are supposed to have an urban night ride on that night but a rude awakening happened! at about 6:45pm my chain started to clunk while cruising at Escario St. just half km to my place of stay near Urgello. I had discovered that my skewer on my rear wheelset was lost, and nowhere to be found! we are supposed to meet with bocoycoy at about 7pm in KFC Osmena but i didnt make it! we instead meet up in Shell in Escario. After munching chichiria and a downed a bottle of flavored water I was able to meet Marvin and a co-biker (forgot the name) and told that we cannot make it for the urban ride. We instead had a great chitchat with bocoycoy and had pictorial also! the next day the day of my departure back to Manila i checked out Wellsons to look for a new skewer as temporary replacement for the hub but I also discovered that my spocket was also stucked up on the wheelset and it cannot rotate! the bike mechanic in charge on the shop advised that the hub must be replaced. I took the cab instead going to the airport with my bike on the back of the cab and was able to arrive safely in Manila and my mom was the one who fetched me. This afternoon, I had consulted with Jane of Kings about what happened during the Cebu ride and she said that she will try to something about it since I purchased the hub in Kings, I think it is upgradetititis time again! but she will help me reduce the cost. ;D ;D
