Used the single speed for my bike-to-work new years resolution. A bit of a twist with my bike-to-work. I got some clients that are 50-65km from where I live. I used to take a bus that's about a 2hr ride 1 way (traffic included). So I decided to just bike them. Save the money, exercise and the simple joy of riding your bike.

It took my client about 6-8 seconds of staring at me before he recognized me. It's his first time to see me in a sporty look. Total trip was 130km, took me 2 hours & 15 min 1 way. With almost a dozen climbs. Not really challenging climbs if you're on a geared bike but some tough moments for me. I'm loving this ss and contemplating using it on a 200km trip I'm planning with a friend this coming Lenten season.

Today (March 25, 2018) a Triathlon was held here. It's the first tri-event ever held in Davao City.

No, I didn't join but the Start/Finish area is less than 2km from where I live, so I just took some photo opportunity.

#1 Finish Line.
#2 Part of run leg.
#3 The event banner.
