Ciritical Mass Ride-Firefly Brigade

The Firefly Brigade holds a monthly themed Critical Mass Ride (CMR) which basically runs through city streets within Metro Manila.  This month’s theme is “Wet T-Shirt Ride” in step with the coming rainy season.  The 280 strong group started off from the Greenhills Shopping Center riding through Mandaluyong City, Makati City, a stopover at McKinley Hills at the Bonifacio Global City.  On the way to Pasig City, the rain poured but did not dampen (pun intended) the riders’ spirits.  Slowly but surely the group made it to Pasig and back to Greenhills.

Tina and I enjoy these monthly CMRs.  It give us time off from work and to be together in an activity that we both enjoy.  This is also an opportunity to meet cool and interesting people who also love the fun of riding.  Click here for more images.

Mountain Biking

My wife Tina and I started mountain biking early this year and its been quite an experience.  We initially bought built bikes and started this wonderful journey of trail and urban rides in the last five months.  Since then, Tina upgraded to a whole new full suspension bike while I chose to upgrade select parts on mine.  I’ve had two unforgettable crashes already.  One at the University of the Philippines oval and the other at the La Mesa Watershed.  But they did not deter me from going back to the saddle each time.  Biking, if done properly and safely is a great way to exercise!   Tina’s blog says a lot about our experiences.

Passing through small communities within the trail.

Eating. One of the pleasures of biking.
