Wow ! W and Jeremy took 13 hrs coming back down from baguio! I guess that confirms that the ride back is not as easy as anyone would think. lotsa flat sections in Tarlac. The truly negative deg downhill roll-mostly are Kennon and Pampanga to Manila only. I was planning on just doing the Dh down Kennon but my family opted to leave 9pm Sunday and night riding down the rain-wet kennon road is NOT good for my health

Now that we have done it, Rache and I have agreed, we will not, won't ever, never again, do this again. We really have new found respect for multi-stage tour riders. Galing!
Going home (-minus kennon climb) was actually harder than getting there.
1. Our muscles were in "debt" already, so we ached the whole way. We were truly wasted. Di ngakami nagusap from Malolos to Malabon! Bulacan did not seem that long the 1st time!!! Tarlac though, was as long and as hot as ever! If I never, see, hear, smell, or anything Tarlac again I will be very happy. VERY HAPPY!
2. I don't know if it was windier or without a big group to shield us, but we were really fighting the wind on the way home. If it wasn't against us, it was trying to topple us over.
Thanks for the support you guys, we spent most of our rest stops reading/replying to text messages. It really helped.

Smart Some little details which helps alot I ll call you Mod eagle eyes, padi! yeah that decision on my part to use: inner barends ala aerobar ; Velo ergo grips (installed night before) ; 100psi rear slick 1.25s + 65psi front slick 1.25 ; custom-made helmet curtain ; + weeklong hydration and loading = helped me survive the ride without bonking/cramping

Nobody was there upfront to break the windspeed for you and WiFi except the two of you (salitan if ever).And for a long ride like that one, it will take a toll in the long run. Plus you were both wasted the day before...But I salute both of you!!! Really brave hearts PMTBikers. ANd Enzo said it well..your ride back home after the Baguio ride will go to the history books of PinoyMTBiker.. And don't say never again...remember you did this same ride a couple of months ago only... ;D ;D ;DCONGRATS to you and WIFI!!!!

Kept the dandruff away to preserve gayouthful looks. Everybody was laughing at my contraptions. Halfway through the ride,,,, they said " why I didnt think of that"

Halfway through the ride,,,, they said " why I didnt think of that" I ll post my setup for the Baguio ride ... baduy looks but I tell ya...the mechanics who saw my setup didnot complain and understood my choices . nga lang...my X9 RD + flexxing dropout failed me. kept ghost shifting starting at Pampanga up til baguio na they were already broken pala...overused and abused . good thing I used new chains which proved to be tough despite the iffy RD
