for reasons that are almost entirely my fault, i could not join the 10th tour of fireflies. i was under the weather — of sorts. fortunately, other pinoy roadies were there and they took a handful of pictures!
i wish i could’ve attended the event but maybe next year. i even went to san pablo the [...]
from the pinoy roadies forum:

“why do you do this to yourself?”

yesterday was pretty unusual for me. i had to wake up early on a sunday to help out lito man the rudy project booth at the first leg of the 2008 hitachi national grand prix criterium race in luneta. he rarely asks for favors so why the heck not? that’s a no brainer. its a [...]
i just heard from john (a new friend) that sheldon brown (the cyclist) passed away a few days ago. that bit of news stopped me at mid sentence. oh wow.
sheldon brown was a great help with my bike maintenance education. on cycling circles, if you want to know about bikes, especially the old ones, then [...]
