Southgrove Bike Ride

it was six something in the morning when Kyle knocked on our door and asked me if I wanted to go for a (bike) ride. I said, not today. I went back to bed but could no longer sleep. I quickly got  up and told Kyle I was going with him for the ride.

Last Wednesday, I rode around the village covering roughly ten kilometers at slow speed.  It felt good and was planning to ride again the following day hoping to cover more distance. It did not happen. Too tired from the high energy gig the night before.

Today, I felt I was ready.  The ride felt comfortable, slow pace lang but then Kyle was pulling away.  I picked up speed and was quickly behind Kyle.  If you ride a bike, you know how much effort was put catching up and maintaining a somehow steady fast speed.  The legs were starting to ache and I was falling behind again.

Kyle was starting to pick up speed

Traffic along the main highway was sort of steady.  Thanks to the vehicle drivers for being considerate and respected our space.  Made first pit stop at Seven-Eleven in Paseo de Sta. Rosa.

Familiar look, I see this look every morning passing by our house

Ready to ride

We continued to ride towards Nuvali turning right to Westgrove.  I was riding behind Kyle at a comfortable distance when he passed several bike riders waiting at the inter-section to cross the road.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any video camera that time to catch the reaction of those riders who, simultaneously, turned their heads and followed "Uno" as she passed by :)).


We were halfway between South Forbes and Westgrove when I felt that I could no longer continue, I was getting tired already.  We stopped at G's Spa for a few minutes rest. I called the named that place "SOUTHGROVE" hehehe...

Third pit stop was at the Paseo Complex. Stayed there for a few minutes before going to the bread shop for a cuppa.

Finishing up and getting ready to go.

 We took the back road on our way home.  The ride was another "out of the box" experience.  There were dangers along the way but we managed to get home safely.


Till our next ride...
