Hit by 6.9 Earthquake but I’m Ok

That is concerning, glad you are aok, but tough for those that lost possessions and livelihoods and of course those injured or lost family. Disasters aside, I think the RB readership would love to hear what cycling is like over there generally and what you have experienced while out and about on 2 wheels.

Here’s & arctile composed for Testing Times back in April 2009. How we did TT’s in Cebu having introduced it to the locals & I also raced drawing crowds.

Hang in there, seems like they are decreasing in severity gradually at least.

It destroyed my brother's school though and he was initially quite pleased about that. It was Nissen huts and they succumbed spectacularly.
Hope the community bounces back and gets cycling again in record time.

We have also with the help of our architect donated 610ltrs of drinking water which he will transport to the victims of the earthquake on Wednesday as he has colleagues up North who’ve got so many neighbors needing supplies especially drinking water…

It was intensity 4 here but it was constant shaking & lasted well over a minute which is unusually long & unusual to have to big quakes so close together each other in terms of days… last 12hrs it’s been quiet
