Sariaya Quezon Ride & Swim Daytrip (Sabaw Antok Combo)

Manila to Sariaya Quezon is the farthest riding Ive done in a day (almost 250km return trip.) And I was really sleepy because didnt have enough rest days before the ride because this was a biglaang yaya ride :)) But hey Im not complaining, was really enjoyable! 

Thanks to my team who were very reliable and were there throughout to help me overtake, guide the way, check my tire pressure, wait for me, and do stopovers to check overall riding attentiveness. Couldnt have done this without you guys!!!

Tagaytay Ride After Strict Quarantines

Went to Tagaytay when it initially opened to non residents after the strict lockdowns. Rode to Peoples Park, Skyranch, Rodeo Drive, Twin Lakes, Ricos Bulalo, Bechays Bulalo, Starbucks, Mushroom Burger. Tried to go to Kaybiang Tunnel via Nasugbu but we didnt get to pass thru checkpoint. It was my first 1000km (after almost a year!!!) Ive gotten less tense when riding - yey! Grabe ang tipid ng Honda Genio, my full tank was around P140, and then I drove around 200km, tapos paguwi ko kalahati pa yung gas ko.

New Bike Ordinance sa QC (1k-5k Multa sa Walang Helmet)

QC passed Ordinance SP 2942 which fines cyclists P1000 up to P5000 if they arent wearing helmet in a bid to make cycling safer. I'll probably get bashed for this, but I actually disagree with this move. Penalizing bikers who dont wear helmet will not make the roads safer for them, nor will it make the road safer for anyone else. If we wanna make roads safe, we gotta address road hazards itself.

Bakit Gusto Kong Umahon sa Antipolo Araw Araw - Pasig Antipolo Bike Loop

Pasig Antipolo Bike Loop Details

The route is around 40km. I take C5 - Circulo Verde - Marcos HIghway - Sumulong for on the way to Antipolo. And then Cainta - C5 going back to Makati. The difficult part is from Sumulong to Cloud 9 because that is 70-80% uphill. The rest of the route are mix of flats, uphill, and downhill.

I take a rest or eat somewhere along Valley Golf or Cloud 9. For now my ave speed is only around 14kph. It's okay tho. I know Im slow, but I get to the destination eventually. Music is UP Naming Mahal c/o Rosalie Mendoza (Youtube Channel - Sining ni Lily) https://youtu.be/xNBOu-bZfU8
