It is also a means how to locate them and maybe there are those Tournaments held every summer where they can be invited... if the Government has no worth of recognizing them, then at least somebody might be interested to have one of then as Guest Speaker because i believed they deserved to be recognized for their great experience and achievements and especially to share words of encouragement to the youth.roof11https://www.blogger.com/profile/01318622481840099640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249924227434495349.post-59558170845256955932010-11-21T07:37:22.554-08:002010-11-21T07:37:22.554-08:00Sir Maui, you're the great person I've eve...Sir Maui, you're the great person I've ever met...You are so very humble guy!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806823521354940068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249924227434495349.post-3645143735480182122008-12-04T09:44:00.000-08:002008-12-04T09:44:00.000-08:00In the mid 70's, I met Jess garcia Jr. with a coup...In the mid 70's, I met Jess garcia Jr. with a couple of his proteges coming from Pangasinan (could not recall if they were the Mandi's and Pagarigan's). We raced these guys in a dirt oval track outside the perimeter fence of US Clark Air Force base. We tried our best to catch up but to no avail. I remember Jess Garcia saying to us that we need to train on a snady beach to strengthen our legs and eat a lot of corn with rice(diperensiyang mais lang yan). I was an aspiring amateur cyclist with hopes of going to the olympics but due to lack of finacial capabilities, I had to let go of the dream and joined the military instead. I still ride on week ends with a Christian Cycling Club, New Beginning Community Church. We have logged on a couple of hundred, fun and easy paced, miles. One of our fellow riders mentioned to me that Jess Garcia's son visits San Diego CA for business and rides occassionally with the Mira Mesa Club. I have not met him yet though. Well, keep on pedaling.BALIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649610464139527691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249924227434495349.post-84854242189753076792008-12-04T09:18:00.000-08:002008-12-04T09:18:00.000-08:00In the early 70's I met Jess Garcia Jr. with 2 of ...In the early 70's I met Jess Garcia Jr. with 2 of his protege coming from Pangasinan. I was an aspiring amateur cyclist dreaming of going to the olympics then. We (Castaneda, Dinio, Manalo, among the many trying to catch up with these 2 proteges) raced against this guys at a dirt oval track in Astro Park outside the fences of US Clark Air Force Base. I remember Jess Garcia telling us to train in a sandy beach to strengthen our legs and most of all eat corn with rice everyday. I still ride, week ends, with a Christian Cycling Club, New Beginning Community Church and have logged in a couple of hundred miles on easy and fun pace. One of our cyclers told me about Jess Garcia's son visiting San Diego CA and rides occassionally with the Mira Mesa Club. I still have to meet the guy though.

Maui used to hang out with our group. He was a very respected pro cyclist (among others, Sumalde, Etrata, and Moring)among us. Maui loved to share his experiences and gave us advise on how to improve ourselves. I remember Maui as a cool-headed guy for his actions in preventing a potential shoot-out between one of our cyclists, I was riding with along Roxas Blvd, and a car driver. This driver was the cause of a massive pile-up when he opened his car door without first looking for the fastly approaching cyclists from his rear. It would have been a big tragedy if not for Maui who restrained the angered cyclist with a pistol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249924227434495349.post-16199027179374697812008-06-12T07:14:00.000-07:002008-06-12T07:14:00.000-07:00Carlo Guieb's back to back championship in 93 and ...Carlo Guieb's back to back championship in 93 and 94 should be ranked as one of the greatest achievement not only in Phlippine cycling but in Phlippine sports as well. In 1993 he bested Renato Dolosa and Loreto Mandi who at that time were having some kind of rivalry, en route to his first championship. He did this by attacking in the Baguio stages of the tour. More dramatic, however, was his victory in 1994. Down a few notches in standings, and trailing Placido Valdez IN THE ROAD for more than almost thirteen minutes, Guieb made a remarkable run, eating up on Valdez minutes and eventually catching up on him on the road to Baguio (sabi ng iba, dun daw sa may leon inabutan). The succeeding Baguio to Baguio stage (the killer lap) and the Pugo to Baguio stage catapulted him and cemented his hold to yellow jersey en route to his second championship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249924227434495349.post-64686210288784810482008-04-22T09:50:00.000-07:002008-04-22T09:50:00.000-07:00Summer in the Philippines is not complete without ...Summer in the Philippines is not complete without the peleton, dubbed as "Tour of Luzon" or "Tour ng Pilipinas".
