Team, This is my first long ride and also i considered this as my break in after my road bike finished assembled from All Terra last April 7. We took the Norzagaray route rather than the Mc Arthur highway. After Baliuag, we parted our ways, coz i go ahead alone to Pias Nueva Ecija. Our meeting place at Tunko, you can see the Grotto church in the back ground and my road bike.. The Hagonoy Cyling Club. Boundary of Norzagaray Bulacan. My first Flat with the MAC.. This is the last mountain peak we passed by before reaching to Bustos. A total of 129.77 kilometer from Manila-Gapan-Pias

Congrats on your new ride! It's different from mtb's but surprisingly just as fun Thanks brad... Yup, its very different from MTB.. My hand, my arms and my legs absorbs all the bumps especialy my butt, nagka rashes ata eh, hehehe ;D I decided not to return the next day(Holy Friday) coz after 5 flats i dont have anymore extra patch and no LBS was open on that day.

5 flats?? baka your too heavy for your tires? I use a 700x23 never flatted yet, 120psi My first 2 pinch flat(front wheel) was in Norzagaray, when we remove the tire from the rim we already knew the problem. My rim tape was to thin and narrow for my rim, for sure i look around and i bought an electrical tape I know my rear wheel will suffer the same fate. So when we reach Baliuag, my rear tube burst and the other 2 flats was re patch. I use a 700x20 3 pinch flat at 110psi I think it is not ideal to used a 700x20 for long distance travel..
