Pure, Angst,
Sorry guys pero mukhang we have to move to another venue - PICC grounds. I've asked the others and yun ang naging choice nila eh. Anyway, just txt me if you plan to come along or not.

Sayang naman, was looking forward to UP tomorrow. Shucks!

Ok, so BM and his buddies are going to PICC grnds, that's interesting. pure_blue and the irresistible (from what I've read

) angst may do QC circle (dami lang masyado bikers doon) kaso baka madisgrasya sila lahat pag nakita si angst hahaha...

...well, i might just stick around ortigas ctr & environs muna with the wifey tomorrow. the fort is also an option, bahala na

happy biking guys.

why don't we start talking about subic? kkb. what do you think guys? gusto ko talaga mag out of town tayo for MTB...and do trails cuz i have no intention of keeping up with the road bikes...thought ko lang

Ted, lets start with Clark muna para day trip lang solve na. Para makasama na rin si Kimpoy. Rode like hell kanina sa PICC and Reclammation. Grabe. I think we rode for more than 35Km rin. Sarap rin dun. Its totally different from UP. Mas mainit sa PICC. IMO, di ko pa rin ipagpapalit ang UP hehe. HOmecourt baga. I thought you werent available today kaya di na kita niyaya. Sayang. Next week I will ask everybody to ride at UP na.

hey vince, arrived from vietnam last night lang....woke up around 9am, had late, late brunch, then biked around 12:30. iba talaga mag bike sa init, yung misses ko nasunog yung cheeks niya parang na-tan hahaha...ayan, ayaw kasi maglagay ng lotion

pero looks like you guys had fun at PICC. pupunta sana ako kaso hindi nakagising.

we may push through with subic next weekend, dahil birthday treat ko lang sa misses ko. baka sumama si Mikko and family...so whatcha say guys? will likely stay sa forest hills para matago yung mga bikes, si Mikko naman may bahay ata yung dad niya doon. he knows some of the trails off subic town and am really looking forward to it. sama ka na vince, and open invit sa iba pero kkb ha?

kishyn, pure_blue, angst, otep??? kimpoy, if i'm not mistaken, you have a 4x4 clinic then, sayang. but looks live vince has clark in the calendar very soon.

Ted,
Sa Clark kasi less planning involved since day trip lang pde na. We will also be covering less distance siguro mga 45-60km lang while sa Subic overnight and we will most likely cover 70-80km. Plano muna natin ang Clark then Subic. Siguro mga next couple of weeks pa.

4x4 clinic nga wala naman mga nurses he..he

**gulliver** · August 4th, 2003 11:08 AM

Vince,

ok, no problem. but will pass na lang muna sa diliman this sunday. if you do plan the clark run, sana sa 30th, 31st or later

**BlackMagic** · August 4th, 2003 01:21 PM

Sure thing sir Ted. Sa experience ko kasi, pag sinabi sa group na overnight out of town, madami mag sasabi pupunta sila then at the last moment mag backout. Nung nag plan kami mag Subic, 10 people confirmed but only 4 actually went with us. 2nd time sa Subic was worse, 8 confirmed but 2 lang kami tumuloy. While sa CLark, 10 confirmed and 9 made it kasi day trip daw.
Bakit di ka pupunta sa Sunday? We need to build up our stamina for our out of town trips! Hehe see you next Sunday sir
