;DLast dh race held here sa GROTTO DH trail was 2 years ago, (battle ground) organize by egay Endless bike shop and Ground zero,
Last expert champion, was boyet camba, power bikes(I think he has the most number of wins on this trail),
ado de leon power bikes has 1 win (fastest man down by hans gee)
eboy farr (phil team dh coach also has 1 win (organize by jong/ team montalban, top 12 si louie p. ako top 20 sa novice).
can't remember na yung iba hehehe.
last sat. we went there with alphajong, allan morales, eli zapanta, cicero, hans gee: jong, lex, sam, and check out the trail.
The trail was wet, nagiba na yung trail may iba nang daan, the rock section dehins na ganun ka intimidating.
the ride was fun naka 2 ulit kami ni alpha jong.
Grotto Dh trail was called such because there is a statue of the virgin mary on the peak of the mountain, watching the town of san mateo, rizal
every holy week pilgrims come here climb and visit the statue to pray, yung iba naka barefoot daw.
there used to be station of the cross along the trail on your way up, but the markers were removed.
Grotto Dh trail famous to manila dhillers for its rock garden section that every rider is talking about,
there a natural right hand berm in the middle of the trail, if you use it bibilis ka papasok sa single trakcs.
steep yung trail kaya may fast section single tracks kaya masarap bumitaw, pero ingat kasi "cliff/bangin sa kaliwa".
2 years ago:
the Fastest rider i saw to shred the famous rock garden, was bans mendoza (bent spoke dati). He was flying! and it was caught on film, (check trixx bike shop for the video). Akala mo foreigner nag ride sa world cup.
the nastiest kalat i saw in this rock section, was eboy farr, during practice, layo tapon nya, (naka clip pedal)
nastiest rin yung sa may rampa malapit sa finish line
during pratice, nag rampa nose dive! bata unknown rider from dumaguete face plant, no helmet, need to stitch up his lips. nung race nanuod sya puro bandage mukha. Hulaan nyo kung sino?.................................................. .............joey barba
HOW TO GET THERE.
go to montalban/rodriguez rizal its the next town after san mateo rizal,
after passing the welcome ARC, after few meters a bridge, after crossing on your right side a church of iglesia ni kristo, turn right, theres a furniture shop on your left side as your land mark, you will see a basket ball court, then go straight ahead until you reach the base of the moutain.
No porters here, you need to push your bike up hill. but during race meron.
sana mag race ulit dito.
