• 1 day race around Jakarta, Indonesia
• 180 km
• 5 riders, 2 coaches, 1 mechanic

March 22, Saturday. Route Survey. Riders from different teams assembled around 7am at the starting line for the race on the following day. We surveyed the 50km race route. While familiarizing with the route, the group found out that the road condition was terrible. There were a lot of potholes, surprising and dangerous islands and humps. (more…)

Sir Hiso is inviting cyclists to join the 2008 edition of his criterium race, the 3rd RP Hiso Sports Cycling Classic in his hometown Marikina City on Saturday, March 15. Aside from his long time commitment to the sport, the race is also his annual search of young and promising cyclists. The race will be held around the Marikina Sports Center.

February 27, Wednesday. I am way behind my post lately. I can not write as much as I want to. May be because I am always busy, may be because all of a sudden I don’t know how to start, or may be because I am thinking too much, may be because I am pressured, may be because I do not want to say anything that will further aggravate (tagal ko hinanap sa thesaurus yan word na yan hehehe) the situation. I am now faced with the same situation I faced before. I have learned my lessons in the past and now I know what will work and what is useless. Lahat ng ito napagdaan ko na. Ang maganda lang ngayon, lahat may mukha na. Now I know who is who. (more…)

February 18, Monday. It’s been awhile since my last post. Dami ng email requesting for new posts hehehe. Medyo natengga. Sobrang busy pa rin tulad ng dati. I have so many stories I want to tell pero hindi ko maisulat ng maayos. 2 weeks na akong puro simula lang at paulit-ulit. I hope I can finish this one. hehehe

After the world cup, the team packed the bikes. Sir Hiso and I checked out of the hotel while Steve and Mark (Steve’s mechanic) stayed because their flight back to San Francisco was on the next day. Sir Hiso paid for the extra night of the team before the race. Sir and I then went to Tita Jocelyn’s (Daddy Hiso’s younger sis) house kasi dun muna ko magstay habang hindi ko pa alam ang flight ko papuntang Chicago. Mauuna si Sir sa akin kasi puno na yung flight nya. After completing everything saka ako pinasyal ni Sir kung saan-saan, nagpunta muna kami sa down town LA, namili ng caps, and bamboo tree na dadalin sa Chicago. Mahilig kasi sya sa halaman. He also brought me to Wild Card Gym of Coach Freddy Roach where Champ Manny Pacquiao trains but it was closed kaya picture na lang. We then went to Universal Studios. Wow! Hollywood na hollywood ang dating talaga! Puro picture taking ako para me remembrance. Namasyal kami ni Sir gamit ang service nya na Pontiac Grand Prix. Nalulula ako sa sobrang bilis. Parang eroplano kung humataw. hehehehe. Sayang d ako nakakuha ng international driving certificate para nasubukan, hehehe (more…)
