MITMC - Shotgun Trail Ride San Mateo

2009-06-08T02:22:00.000-07:00

I tried thinking about the future. Would we be able to do this ride again? Will this area remain the same? I think not.

Then I think of fast-forwarding time 10 years into the future. I can see that this area will be entirely different. Yes, we may be able to ride this way again but it will not be the same. The trails will have given way to concrete roads and the vast tracks of vacant land will by then be occupied by houses. The shade will now come from those houses and no longer from trees. All the greenery left will be from expensively built landscaped gardens and parks.

But still, you cannot erase the happy times spent with your friends. All of us enjoying the riding experience with sun on our backs and the wind in our faces. Resting while eating a meal consisting of canned goods with 3 extra rice and a small loaf of bread. Kaya sama ka na. Matagal pa naman ang 10 years. Next week ride ulit.

1st MITMC Orienteering Competition

2009-06-03T19:23:00.000-07:00

By: Jhonnie Z. Villareal

The 1st Mapua Institute of Technology Orienteering Competition was held on July 13, 2008 in the periphery of Tagaytay Ridge Area, particularly at the footslopes of Mt. Batulao. Participants' endurance and orienteering skills were challenged in the 10 kilometer orienteering race course with an elevation gain of 400 meters. The event was a true test of the participants’ ability to make efficient route choices, to read and interpret the map appropriately as they trudge and made their way from one control point to another. The format emphasized route choices and navigation in rough and demanding terrain making their way to 10 control points.

Marshalls from the Mapua Mountaineering Club were deployed to their respective control points as course setter – Bobby Relos briefed the team on what to expect along the orienteering course.

25 teams and a total of 80 participants during the course of the orienteering race trekked their way to a number of knolls and hilltop, walked across several streams, and made route choices at each trail bend and junction encountered.

In the end, Team Ogudnas which consist of veteran racers Thadeus Festin and Antonio Lavadia emerged as the champion outrunning and outsmarting 24 other teams in the 1^st MITMC Orienteering Competition. An interesting victory for Ramil Delute and Gary Lemon of Team Vios, as what they lack in speed, they pulled out in terms of navigation accuracy grabbing the 1^st Runner-up spot. Carina Dayondon and Jose De Vera of Team River came in 2^nd Runner-up after several mistakes in their route choices pushed Team Vios to take the lead.

From left to right, Team River, Team Vios and Team Ogudnas were the teams who bagged the trophy as 2nd Runner-up, 1st Runner-up and Champion of the 1st MITMC Orienteering Competition.

Special prizes were also given to Team Save Ipo Dam as “Rookie of the Year” and to Team Kat-Kat –the team which comprise of Everest summiteer – Mr. Leo Oracion and his Labrador – Katkat as they emerge “Best in Navigation”.

2nd MITMC Orienteering Competition, coming soon this August!

FilBike Tech Sessions by World-Famous cycling celebrities

2009-04-01T17:32:00.001-07:00

Things are pretty set for the 2009 FilBike Bicycle philwebsupport Expo.

For this year, we were able to pull off a coup of sorts by being able to invite not one, but four well known personalities in the cycling industry..

We'll be doing, for the first time in the Philippines, Tech Sessions and Seminars. Schedule is April 2, from 2:00 p.m., until 6 p.m., at the Subic Bay International Convention Center, Subic Bay Gateway Park.

Topics to be discussed, and speakers are:

2:00 p.m.
Hans Rey
http://www.hansrey.com/
Topic: Wheels 4 Life
Wheels 4 Life is a non-profit foundation that has been assisting the less privileged in acquiring a bike. The foundation has the support of the community and is one of the leading projects in the cycling industry.
Trivia: In 2006, when Hans Rey came to the Philippines, it was the first time in the foundation's history where he personally turned over to recipients bikes. Some of the recipients were people who were affected by the deadly Southern Leyte landslide.

3:00 p.m.
Brian Lopes
http://www.brianlopes.com/
Topic: How to compete in the world cup
Brian Lopes has been described as being the most complete rider in the philwebsupport cycling industry.. He has been riding bicycles all his life, and was just recently inducted to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame and BMX Hall of Fame. His experience and insight in competing in the world cup is an invaluable and will be able to help Filipino athletes in getting a better understanding of the competition at the highest level of competition.

4:00 p.m.
Jeff Jones
http://www.jonesbikes.com/
Topic: The Philosophy of designing a Jones bike
Jeff Jones is a legend in the philwebsupport cycling industry in terms of cutting edge design of bicycle frame and rigid forks. He bases his design on the demands of the trails in Oregon, USA. Jeff is known as a leader in the design of the non-suspended bicycle. His ideas and passion have created an exceptional ride - a geometry that delivers superb handling, comfort and efficiency.

5:00 p.m.
Jay Macneil
http://www.bansheebikes.com/
Topic: Bicycle suspension 101
Get the low down on the basics of bicycle suspension designs. Too many times people have been fed wrong and misleading information about bicycle suspension designs and how rear suspension works. Now get it straight without the marketing hype..
Jay is the chief operating officer of Banshee Bikes, one of the world's leader in mountain bike full suspension bikes.

Additional philwebsupport topics:
Bike Fitting 101
Topic: The essentials of bike fitting and how important is a proper fitting bicycle

WRT 2007- Long Distance Triathlon is all set to ROCK!!!

2007-10-02T20:48:00.000-07:00

White Rock Beach Resort in Subic, Zambales will once again host the country’s premiere long distance triathlon on October 6, 2007 - the White Rock Triathlon!

Once again this ultimate triathlon endurance race will cover a two-kilometer ocean swim out from White Rock Beach resort, 91 kilometers of cycling ride through Zambales, and a 20-kilometer run to Olongapo and SBMA.

As early as now, athletes from all over the country as well as foreigners, and Filipino expatriates from Singapore and USA have already signed up to participate and hope to finish this endurance test. This year’s event is taken to a new level focusing on athletes who will complete the entire event, with no more relay category being offered.

Set in early October, the Race Organizer expects ideal weather conditions for the swim and bike portions of the race. The run portion will prove to be most difficult among the 3 disciplines — featuring an unforgiving and undulating road at the hottest time of the day.

This logistically demanding event is only possible through the generous support of the local government and agencies of Olongapo City, the Province of Zambales and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.

For those planning to join this race, now – two and a half months before the day - is the time to focus your training. The field will be hot, in all senses, with many athletes racing for their PRs and to show their strength and try to claim the winner’s title.
