One of the consequences of last week’s downhill ride almost mishap is my decision to upgrade my 6-inch disk brake rotor to an 8-inch one. I figured that increasing the size would alleviate the problem of overheating during downhills. But being not so well off financially at this time (we are now rounding off […]
Recalling the previous post, we were in “God’s country“. The view from the top is always better, and this one is no exception. It was green everywhere, although there were few trees, far apart and small, indicating they were young and therefore not the original growth covering this land.
It was good to see that […]
At 10 am we were ready to leave the Grotto. Rodel assured us that “it’s all downhill” from this point on. Now this phrase can be interpreted both on a positive note and a not so positive one: downhill as in, there is no need to pedal since gravity will be the motive […]

Bonifacio Global City will be celebrating Earth Day with an exhibit of environmentalists at the Bonifacio Global City Community Facility from April 26-28. With the continued dialogue and cooperation we have had this past few months, the Firefly Brigade was given booth space there. Its the old mini-golf area(Jaymi’s Grill) beside old Gerry’s and the […]
Talk about envy. Howie Severino’s side trip to Bohol is something that this blog hopes to accomplish in the future and he is there now doing what I could just dream of and fantasize about. But congratulations to him for doing so. Living one man’s biking would-be world in the flesh and […]
I am posting this email I received from the Firefly Brigade Yahoo Group:
This is to formally invite fellow TOF marshalls and other biking enthusiast to assist in a short fifteen (15) km. family fun biking at sunrise to commemorate Earth Day and Reconciliation Week. The route starts at the Peace Bell near the parking […]
