August 18, 2012 Ride



This was an impromptu bike ride schedule I made (with the "Planned Route" blog entry) by texting a co-biker friends from Tiklop Society of the Philippines. This was also due to an un-availability of us joining the official ride of our group.

And as per our conversation, I proposed and created a map ride based on the itinerary I want to go and explore - Antipolo church, Angono Petroglyphs and Balaw Balaw restaurant.

This ride had a lot of "first" not just for me, but also for Alvin who joined me with this ride. They were; my first Antipolo uphill climb, first time (both of us) to visit the Angono Petroglyphs on a bike and also, first time to visit & dine at Balaw Balaw, for both of us too.

Gladly we didn't encounter any problems along the way. :)

Without further ado, here's the story...

First, the map ride I created;

Marikina, MarikitPABA?



Along with the morning bike ride I made today, I also took pictures of what I saw on the Riverbanks area and the "bike lanes".

The pics...

And the "bike lanes"...

Bike Way, NO Way???

Bike Way, NO Way???

Bike Way, NO Way???

Bike Way, NO Way???

Some of my group members from Tiklop Society of the Philippines already made an advocacy bike ride to these so-called "bike lanes" and had a positive result after a week or so. But then again, some people really don't know the word "responsible", so to speak...

Sad, sad, sad...

August 12, 2012 Loop Ride





Finally, I was able to take the supposed to be route I planned on this blog entry. 

Hopefully I can do much longer loop rides on the coming days...
