at the starting line...everybody nervous...as it started to rain again... Embarrassed



keeping an eye on that born climber Noel Ting! Grin .....hehehe....gave it my best shot but Noel dropped me in the first few kilometers off the starting line which was on an incline!!! Shocked



no solo shots of me struggling up the hill this time...because my wife is following the classic race of category B inside the mitsubishi adventure of big daddy...





well noel attacked from the starting line.....i tried to chase..i get dropped...i rode with 3-4 cebu cyclists...then i saw sasai salazar..he asked me to follow his wheel but i cant..but as soon as i see attorney jong..i held on to his wheel for dear life..minimize my loss.


atty jong dropped me with 2 kilometers to the finish...sasay salazar dropped me near willies...im out of breath at the finish..asking my wife for softdrinks quickly as i think i will pass out...its much tougher than the sierra madre climb..but definitely worth a visit.... Grin

lightweight weenie Ome Rodriguez rode his new rig Scott Addict ISP with wow Mavic Carbonne! Shocked



big mig at the finish line...."this is my new VELLUM ELEMENTE bike...but i forgot to change the cogset so i got stuck with a 23 teeth cog!" Shocked
