this recon ride was organized by me...as a familiarization ride for the upcoming TLBF (terry Larrazabal Bike Festival ) the biggest bike race for roadies and mt bikers to be held in SUBIC the former american Naval Base Olongapo City next week April 4-5-6 Grin

meeting place was at rocka1bikeshop plaridel 6am in the morning



foggy view of north Luzon Expressway around 615am sunday




san fernando exit enroute to olongapo...for subic



subic was 1hour 45 minutes from rocka1bikeshop...so i told the boys "woah i think we have to leave bulacan 4 am in the morning on race day guys...the traffic in pampanga is terrible"



we parked our cars at the FedEx airport in subic then decide run the XRC course twice...Note we dont know exactly where the road race of the TLBF will be...but thought it should be the ocean adventure course...








"im not feeling too good today mommy...a bit dizzy maybe due to high cholesterol again.got to ride this recon ride for the exercise..also my team some of them havent ridden the course before so its best to ride it one week before race day for the familiarization run"




thats me far left on the red jersey going down the ocean adventure parking lot



ocean adventure



skipper pineda rode with me..."man dont ride with me..im not feeling ok..too slow for this subic climbs...better go sparring with ramon and our champion oliver..."







be careful of the monkey crossings guys..plenty of monkeys here as this is one of the last remaining wild life sanctuaries here in Luzon







"mommy how come you dont take a foto of me when im standing on the bike?...i look awful struggling on my saddle..." Cheesy



here is a video sampler of what the roads in subic looks like... Cheesy for the benefit of the out of town teamrocka1bikeshop riders.



"man the weather is gonna be the factor as its 33degrees in the morning here in subic..water bottle please " i said...as i pulled over ask water from our team vehicle...



"ray i gotta have gatorade first" as skipper pineda pulls over to have gatorade



this is team Gerry's grill who also went training in subic last sunday Cheesy we will look forward to ride with you...in subic... Smiley







ok guys ..thats it for us today laugh...."ray thats gonna be a fast race next week ha..." skipper said



you know its a former military base when you see the chain tied to empty Ammunition shells used as a steel post in this railing at the olongapo gate...thats subic.... Grin
