An afternoon ride to the Bay

It was suppose to be a ride somewhere else. I have Sierra Madre in mind but the intense summer heat has prevented me from riding early making me change course. I thought of going to Dragon Noodle Center and try their special lugaw but I don't know where exactly that place is. I just saw it on my ride buddy's facebook page. He's online..good...asked him for direction...it's just a few meters from Luneta...got it. Thanks Vincent!

I waited a bit late in the afternoon before I started the trip. I got to Luneta just before the sun set... hmmm sunset... change of plan... ride further to Roxas blvd bay area and watch the world famous Manila Bay Sunset. I just love how the sun paints the sky with a reddish or orange hue...this is a must-see for every visitor to the city.

Solo Bike Ride from QC to Boracay

Image
I'm not gonna let the long weekend pass by without doing some riding. I decided to go on a solo bike ride to Boracay... Actually, my initial plan was to go to Lubang Island. I'll tell you more about it later. I left our house in Novaliches exactly 6:45am. The plan was to leave at dawn but my alarm clock didn't seem to cooperate. I'm headed towards Batangas Port. The ride going to there was uneventful, bought something to eat when I feel like eating, take CR breaks at gas stations when I needed to go.. you know... :D I just loved every moment I was pedaling. Uphill, downhill, loose, soft, slushy, I loved it all. The cold wind on a sunny day was something I really enjoyed. I guess that's one of the beauty of riding solo. You ride at your own pace. Like they say, Riding with friends is good for the heart, riding solo is good for the soul. ... I got to Batangas port at around 4pm. I asked around where I can buy a boat ticket going to Lubang Island when my pho...

Riding the Trails of Sta. Ines

Image
The ride started with a favorable weather. Everything seems to be great and uneventful until we got to Kinabuan falls. It began to rain...hard. The river's water level turned the calm currents into raging torrents. Crossing rivers to get back to our vehicles became a difficult, if not impossible, task. Needles to say, we got to the nearest Barangay after traversing dark, narrow, steep, mountainous and muddy tropical jungle carrying our mountain bikes at 7:00 p.m. The leeches, large ants and spiky foliage made it even more unforgettable. The locals advised us to wait until the water subside and just spend the night at the Barangay Hall. The people there were very accommodating, they provided us with a bathroom with clean water and a place to sleep. They also assured us that our bikes are safe from thieves. We are still worried about not being able to inform our loved ones about our current status because of the non-existence of mobile phone signal.         ...
