One Way Bike Club

The banner says its all






A group of health conscious individuals have banded together to form what is now called the
One Way Bike Club. An organization of mountain bike enthusiasts, their members have pedalled their way in and around the region, rediscovering Leyte and Samar's beautiful spots along the way. THeir trips have taken them to Calico-an, Guiuan; Naval, Biliran, Baybay, Leyte; Ormoc City and Hinabangan, Samar, all on the strength cycling legs. Which is why a hefty dose of stamina is a requirement for one to be a member. Don't look now but a 70 year old lolo joins them on their bike jaunts and he is never the worse for wear. Of course a good sense of camaraderie is part of the package as it is more than just organization, it is a coming together of like minded and fun-loving persons with the common goal of healthy living who have all decided: POTBELLIES MUST GO! (Yah, the pictures tell a different story, but d hubby says they're getting there, from a size 36" he's now down to 33" and counting)


You could find most of them at their favorite haunt, "Washingan", a car wash service center-cum-dining outlet with a semi-retired chef at the helm. So expect your spaghetti and chicken teriyaki cooked here ala carte with hotel style finesse. Its just along Gomez St., a few meters away from the Sto. Nino Church.

So who said biking had to be a bore? Definitely not for the One Way Bike Club.

one way bike club is composed of middle-aged guys wearing pink jerseys and cycling shorts with identical gray helmets. ive seen them at magsaysay every early morning while my sis and i do our usual morning exercise at kanhuraw. after 3-4 rounds at magsaysay, ul see them sitting by the roadside with their bikes parked by the pavement and doing their next favorite pasttime, the "turab luzon". i think theyr more into fun rides rather than mountain bike races.. nice blogsite.. il tell my friends about this.
