This blog is my attempt to journal our rides each season. TEam MANG (timang) is a very informal club - the one requirement is that you love to ride your bike (all types)...and do other things like eat and hang out and be silly. The term "Mang" is commonly used in the Filipino language to address older gentlemen but we're not gender or ethnic exclusive. We welcome women, too - we call them Team "Aling". Overall, we're just BFF's (bicycling with friends for fun).

2012 July 25 - RAMROD
The Redmond Cycling Club sponsors a popular ride every year called the RAMROD (Ride Around Mount Rainier in One Day). Only a few fortunate souls are selected via lottery. 152 miles of riding with an elevation gain of over 10,000 feet. A few Team Mangs were able to get in. Together with some Trangkos, they attacked the mountain and came away victorious. All of them first timers, Eric, Boni and Rene felt they had accomplished a feat that made their team proud. And indeed, we are.
