After weeks of rain, and weeks of frustrated long rides due to rains, we were finally able to embark on a relatively long ride after a few months' layoff.
We went to Angat Dam in Norzagaray, Bulacan from Montalban, Rizal, around 120 km forth and back, last September 21. Our path was paved road, although winding and rolling, especially in the Bulacan province.
We had 22 members who joined the ride, surprising number. It seemed many of us were raring to go long distance again.
It was exhilarating, being able to pedal for long stretches of time on changing views, unlike in the oval where one sees the same scene after every round. Our newbies definitely enjoyed the ride, surprised that they are able to reach the place just by biking.
Our bikes and legs showed that this indeed is our first time again in long distance biking after a long time. A few of us experienced aching knees and legs even before we reached our destination. A few more had flat problems. Our bikes, it seemed, were also unprepared for long distance biking.
