Dispatches From Dad

Every once in a while, my dad sends me photos from home. A lot of them are taken during the many walks he takes. Others commemorate special events that I unfortunately cannot attend.

Shortly before I returned to Manila after Christmas break '09-'10, I told Dad I'd set up a blog for his photos. I want them to have a place outside of our hard drives, that's all.

He didn't say yes or no, just, "A blog?" And I decided to take that as "Okay." So, here it is.

  6. March 19: Davao Biking

    Saturday March 16 I went to Davao on a field trip for engineers.
    Three of us brought our bikes to try a local trail on Sunday morning.

    Our start and end point was NCCC Mall.
    The round trip is 23 km with the path a good mix of city streets with very challenging uphill stretches at Ma-a and grass and dirt trails at Langub.
    Max elev reached was 222m with the starting point at about 27m.
    The green trace represents time the GPS was turned off inadvertently, equivalent to 1.3km.

  10. Feb. 3:

    My third bike ride with son Ramon, the longest so far.
    The ride is to get him used to his new bike, master when to shift gears, get a feel for how the bike behaves on different terrain.
    So far so good; he is ready for longer rides.
    This one is 24.5 km long, has good stretches of uphill and downhill runs and took us 2 hrs and 13 min..
    Highest elevation reached was 671m and lowest at 430m.
