It was actually my another soloflight ride this time to Maarat and my second time as well and I only reached the Timberland gates since the guards did not allow me to enter because I don't have any valid IDs to show. After the breath taking downhills and the siko curves. I saw Ben Dover (sir tolitz) going uphill and we were able to make short chit-chats. After that hair raising downhill I decided to stop-over @ Aling Tina's store. While munching Tempura snack and a litro of Pepsi, I was able to meet 43Bikes members Jojo and Jeff, I started to have a good conversation with them. While making conversation, sir tolitz had already done Maarat and also stopped at Aling Tina's. I introduced sir Tolitz to them. While he was doing conversations, the Noodletown Boys arrived namely gadgets88, harry, super charlie, bike2006 and denise. They made their finish line @ Aling Tina's because thats where there car is parked. While our rapport with the 43bikes is growing, we decided to fire at Wawa via Puray. I of course almost bailed out because I have to distribute the PinoyMTBiker jerseys for QC receipients at 2pm. The breathtaking ride begins at the single tracks opposite from Aling Tina's. We fired the main road going to Rodriguez and turned left to the road going to Puray. I had a recall for the BOMB Puray ride last October which I wasn't able to complete, but this time this was the other way around. We are actually going to Wawa which is facing the town proper. This time, lotsa trails and did river crossing! ;D We stopped over in a sari-sari store along the way, I was able to have good vibes with them and I actually said that there should be no difference with our cycling skills "pare-pareho naman tayong pumapadyak" and even the bike is a BMX, mountain, all-mountain, road bike, or a downhill bike it is still a bike. That friendship really grew and we had fun snapshots of myself being attacked kuno by them, and I found out that Jeff is also a fellow Benildean. After the rest at the store we started to fire again, sir tolitz was really in a halimaw mode because he always gets ahead of us! hehehe! the culminating part of the ride was the quarry ride in Wawa. Our 2 new friends went ahead of us and me and sir tolitz fired straight to Marikina. We bailed out along Riverbanks and I was able to arrive home @ 2pm and picked up the jerseys to distribute it in UP Mang Manny Store even though they're closed. I hope you like this story and here are some shots courtesy of Jojo. Enjoy! ;D
