dear friends,
i am back at Rocka1bikeshop this morning. my legs still hurt. i am having my good cup of coffee. but am sure so many of you guys want to know what happened to us up baguio so i am making a short report This weekend's bike ride according to foreign guest rider Thomas Wiegand was "Its unbelievable. I have never thought that the Baguio Fun ride was this big and organized. i thought we will be only with 4-10 people up Baguio. That was so much FUN! I climbed down BAguio by bicycle and with atty Mike Yngson i had fantastic ride down Kennon road. Say Thank you to Mike for the company. On the way up I couldnt climb Baguio via kennon any faster because I WAS ENJOYING THE FANTASTIC VIEWS...its comparable to Italian mountains... one of the giro d italia stages...Baguio is Beautiful via Kennon! A fantastic view with the waterfalls.. .oh i am so happy! For your record purpose from shell station near Soul Cafe Rosario up Kennon road to the finish line at DPS compound i made it in 2 hours. there was a 21% uphill climb of about 80 meter long switchback before the Viewdeck which made me suffer. Its fantastic to ride with 35-40people up kennon "
For the second day day2 ..at the starting line at EAGLE OF AGOO we saw the strong upcoming team MJY BIKEZONE field in more than 10 riders. Team Dagupan Pangasinan had some people from as far as Urdaneta had about 20. Team filchi had about 10 cyclists also. Team Heritage, Team Tri Clark, Leyte, team Pair Cargo, Team Xterra had some riders and the total head count was 47 riders with Thomas Wiegand from Germany.
"ok raymond for your record purposes. the total riding time from Eagle of Agoo to the finish line at PETRON STATION in front of GREEN VALLEY (after the tunnel) my time was 2hours and 30 mins. That was a fantastic good mountain I promise you I will be back for more of this mountain and I will surely bring more friends. A fantastic climb! A fantastic weekend" says Thomas Wiegand
I take opportunity to thank all the participants, team rocka teammates Alvin Lo and Yuri Lirag who rode all the way to Baguio from Bicol, i must thank the participants who rode with us team Dagupan and Pangasinan. i thank the pro riders Sherwin Carrera and Ericson obosa who rode and posed the big challenge to Thomas wiegand. I have to thank Edward Lim and team Filchi for supporting our vacation ride and bringing in team filchi and treating teamrocka to lunch on august 29 at ISDAAN at Gerona Tarlac.,..then sponsoring the Fellowship Night at O Mai Khan . All the cyclists who made it to O Mai Khan had received a fantastic beautiful wheel bag courtesy of team filchi Winston Chua of starpaper I thank you so much Winston for your support...PLUS a team filchi official MUSSETTE BAG. Furthermore there was a presentation via Laptop by Thomas Wiegand to filchi cycling of his GPS readings of Kennon Road. Then before the cyclists called it a day Thomas had a short speech thanking filchi and the participants for this dinner and for the bike ride up kennon. Filchi Cycling then presented Thomas Wiegand with a souvenir sports bag and then everybody had a group foto shoot.
Team Filchi had the most beautiful luxurious coaster i had ever ridden with such a big Flat Screen television playing Le Tour de France dvd's! Thanks so much Winston for offering this beautiful coaster for the team filchi official vehicle. Newton multisales' Washington Ong had provided teamfilchi also with an L300FB to ferry the teams bicycles up Baguio.
Winston also took several fotos of the big event then at the end of the day before leaving baguio showed a slide presentation to team filchi of the Agoo Eagle to BAguio via Marcos hiway photos.
I have so many stories to tell....the weather in Baguio was PERFECT for cycling last saturday and Sunday. a small portion of the road up kennon had been damaged by landslide but our convoy was allowed to pass it. Thomas was playing with the waterfall under the huge rock overhang at the beginning of the Baguio climb up kennon road and slipped with few bruises but he was laughing ..thats the only incident that happened.
to my teammates teamrocka, teamrocka bicol. teamfilchi cycling , to all my friends from team mjy, team pair cargo, team Prime, team heritage, team XTERRA, team dagupan, team pangasinan, team urdaneta, team tri clark...all my friends who joined us if i fail to mention your name you have to excuse me. Thank You so much for your participation.

Aw, this was a very good post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce
a top notch article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and don't seem to get anything done.
