Victor Espiritu sponsored by Rolando Hizu<BR/>competing in the 15 Km (60 lap) Points Race Qualifying<BR/>Round scheduled for the 18th Friday. And Steve Pelaez<BR/>competing in the 7.5 Km Scratch Race Qualifying Event<BR/>for Saturday and the 1 Km Time Trial later that<BR/>evening. We also had a fare share of ADOBO Velo<BR/>members and other Pinoys in the audience together with<BR/>Junior Champ Coryn and Dad Wally Rivera, Manny Legaspi<BR/>of mygringos.com, and former National Cycling Team<BR/>members Deo Asuncion and Wilson Blas.<BR/><BR/>As most of us know about Victor Espiritu’s headaches<BR/>from his last minute travel arrangements, he managed<BR/>to finish his race by riding wisely and defensively.<BR/>He was able to keep up with the pace and avoid a<BR/>crash. Out of 17 riders, 3 did not finish, so we all<BR/>think despite of his situation, he had a respectable<BR/>finish. As for Steve, his race was brutally fast where<BR/>he had to close a few gaps without any help. He showed<BR/>a lot of aggressiveness and that looked promising. His<BR/>Time Trial event was held in the evening session where<BR/>he was paired against Michael Christensen of Denmark.<BR/>He started off the gate very smooth and fast as he led<BR/>the first lap and placed 19th when the event finished.<BR/><BR/>If we look at the overall experience 2 weeks ago up to<BR/>this weekend to include the previous 2 World Cups, we<BR/>learned so much from our continued volunteering,<BR/>managing last year’s participation of Deo Asuncion,<BR/>and then for these 2 great cyclists! It was a small<BR/>gathering of great minds and influential people around<BR/>Pinoy Cycling, a reunion of old friends, and created<BR/>new friends also. All these things will make us better<BR/>prepared for the next UCI Track Word Cups in our<BR/>backyards. Finally, certificates of appreciation were<BR/>delightfully given to Victor and Steve as this was<BR/>also very meaningful to all ADOBO Velo members. I<BR/>personally felt that we created an important link to<BR/>our counterparts back home and here in the States. We<BR/>thank you very much for accepting ADOBO Velo Fil-Am<BR/>Cycling Club into the mainstream of Philippine<BR/>Cycling. <BR/><BR/>Mabuhay!<BR/><BR/>Arden Arindaeng<BR/>ADOBO Velo Moderator<BR/><BR/>Pictures can be found at:<BR/>http://picasaweb. google.com/ adobovelo<BR/><BR/>There will be posts by Manny Legaspi at mygringos.com.<BR/>Keep checking!kid kulaki!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00539740328196135357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691012013443708759.post-50918448446933711312008-01-19T21:00:00.000-08:002008-01-19T21:00:00.000-08:00eto napo ang results ng race ni Victor Espiritu,ht...eto napo ang results ng race ni Victor Espiritu,<BR/><BR/>http://www.tissottiming.com/sports/cycling/track/classics0708_los_angeles/Mens_Points_Race_Qualifying_-_Heat_2_Results.pdfkid kulaki!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00539740328196135357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691012013443708759.post-7971752745860172052008-01-18T19:25:00.000-08:002008-01-18T19:25:00.000-08:00bless u brother john!bless u brother john!Manny D (www.stophhs.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10817122183264325620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691012013443708759.post-46531097685465682832008-01-17T19:20:00.000-08:002008-01-17T19:20:00.000-08:00basta si father manny ang nagdasal... panalo yan!basta si father manny ang nagdasal... panalo yan!john_mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363838427207160131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691012013443708759.post-50126888489822979792008-01-17T09:59:00.000-08:002008-01-17T09:59:00.000-08:00Yes kid, isasama ko sila sa aming panalangin.Yes kid, isasama ko sila sa aming panalangin.Manny D (www.stophhs.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10817122183264325620noreply@blogger.com
