July 29, 2012 Loop Ride

 

My original plan of taking a loop ride from my home place in QC - all the way to San Mateo via Batasan-San Mateo Road, Marikina via Marcos Hi-way, UP via Katipunan, then back home via Commonwealth, was aborted due to unpredictable weather condition last Sunday morning (trans: may bagyo!!!). Hehehehehe.

I just made a loop ride instead, based on the above map. Thus also had a route going back to IBP Road from Petron along Batasan-San Mateo Road.

Total distance traveled: 16.95 kms. based on my CycleDroid.

It was nevertheless a good ride on that wet/gloomy/stormy Sunday morning! :-)

Edit: Removed the zoom-able view as it's no longer viewable :(

TSP - Rizal's Tomb To Womb Ride

In commemoration of Dr. Jose P. Rizal's 151st birth anniversary, we at TSP (Tiklop Society of the Philippines) did a ride last June 23, 2012 that started from Luneta (or Rizal Park) [KM 0] all the way to his largest statue that is located in front of Calamba City Hall in Laguna.

Rizal's statue...

This was also my first out-of-town ride that covered approximately 100+ KM to & from, and all the way to my home place. Sort of a "century" ride as we may say...

RIP, Gab Gaskell...

Yesterday was a sad day for us at TSP (Tiklop Society of the Philippines). We've learned that a fellow biker died from an accident. RIP comrade Gab Gaskell! :(

I remember that I rode with him at least twice, sometime last May, during TSP's LSD (Lingguhang Sikad sa Diliman). I was able to talked to him during those two occasions, specially the ride-out going back to UP Oblation as where he usually park his vehicle nearby.

As a fellow blogger also, this is my way of paying tribute to him. Goodbye fellow biker and blogger, Gab Gaskell. We at TSP will surely miss you!

As a keepsake from those rare occasions that we've met, I'll keep one of his pictures showing my Dahon Metro foldie as shown below from one of his blogs...
