The 2nd leg of our MTB Xtrail ride is at San Martin, Sacobia. This is also the 2nd time we (Avie and I) went there. Mas masaya now because we're on a group. Well, my day started at around 5am (naalimpungatan lang ako). Had spagetti for breakfast then bumili nako ng 1.5L na Gatorade & banana for energy. Our call time is the same, 8am @ eTel parking lot. We set out late since I have to wait for Avie kase 6:45am pa labas nya. And we have to pick-up Jun sa Mcdo Fields Ave (Balibago). It was already 7:50am, so we decided to rent a Jeep to take us inside Clark to "conserve our energy" hehehe.
The group consists of Avie, Me, Didz, Jun, Jheck, Odon, Daisy, and Coach Gene. Not present na si Aljay and Bapa. Di nag confirm sa group mail e. Next week, Sunday na yung ride para makasama na si Kong Pat at Mark. Still a disadvantage for me. Kaso wala akong magawa coz everybody has either Sun-Mon or Sat-Sun day off.
When we got there, syempre kodakan muna. Group Picture! Then taking the usual route, eTel then to fontana from the back road then down to the perimeter road (pader) then Sacobia to San Martin. Syempre picture picture to the max while riding. The noob of the group is Jun aka "Bangis". Kaso nde lumabas pagkabangis nya nung paahon na ang road. Sumusuko na nde pa man nakakalayo. lolz. Kaya yan Jun! Ayaw mangitim kaya nagsuot ng long white socks with matching warmer, 2 shirts and maong cargo shorts. Nde mo aakalain na mag-Xtrail ride kung titignan mo. Balot na balot. parang hip-hop! hehehe.
It was again, a looong ride. Mainit, tirik na tirik yung araw. Nakakadrain. Grabe! Off-Road na incline. But we made it on our first official stop. One of the tindahan at Gawad Kalinga Vill. That was also the same store where Avie and I rested when we first went there. Naalala pa kami nung tindera. Hirap talaga kalimutan ang gwapo at maganda...lolz. Charing! Haay, ang sarap ng Sparkle pagdating dun. Kainis nga lang kase wala silang Mt. Dew dun:( Anyway, pinatulan ko na kesa naman cheers or sarsi tirahin ko. Ayaw na talaga ni Jun...suko na daw. Uwi na daw sya...e ang problem, walang sasakyan dun. Mag bike sya pabalik. Wala syang nagawa but to continue. Lolz.
After our first tindahan stop, we went to the spot where Avie took my picture na nakaset as my background for this blog. Jheck was asking me a few days before where that was. Kaya yun. PHOTO OP! Almost everyone has its own Digicam. Big and Small. Kaya NAGBARILAN kami ng cam. "Take pictures of the picture taker."
Then its downhill from here on...rough road, steep, with lots of land-mines aka "carabao dung". Narating din namin yung sapa. Kanya kanyang pose with the Aeta kids. Photo Op again! Nag lunch na kami dun with our take out food from the canteen sa eTel courtesy of Odon and Avie while listening to the kwentong eTel of Jun. Haay! hanggang dun ba naman trabaho parin usapan...Hmmm...nagvevent lang siguro. After resting, ligo time! Everybody took a dip sa shallow, slippery, rocky, toad & mosquito larva infested stream. Picture picture again..carefull baka mabasa ang cam.
Time to go home na! Akyatan nanaman to! Then its going to be a long downhill nyan. That's the best part. I thought wala nang magiging aberya. But we had 1 casualty. After stopping at the tindahan for an iced cold Pop-Cola (cracked iced in glass) Coach Gene noticed na flat yung rear wheel. Mechanic Jheck in action!
I haven't learned my lesson talaga...Sadly, papasok parin ako after this. As of the time of composing this blog, I'm here at work. Blogging while working. Hehehe. Super antok and tired. Wala nanaman akong tulog nyan. Wala na kasi leave cap kaya nde na nakapag Vac leave and wala naman gusto ng swap off. For next weeks ride, aayusin ko na ngayon palang para maka leave or swap. Sana meron. Wish me luck :)
