Yesterday, we had a plan of going to angono, but due to bad weather last sat, we decided to just got to filinvest, unfortunately, our guide to alabang, Cyborg, forgot to wake up! ;D So since its me and Alain (bike2206) that was able to meet up at 530 AM and waited for Cyborg till 630 almost. We decided to Hit MOA instead. Then While we were on our way to MOA Veeduber texted me, I'll catch up with you guys, so we waited at MOA for him so that makes 3 of us, then Veeduber invited us to head for the Marina Trails again... ;D There's a saying that on the rainbows end there's a pot of gold? or is it a Mountainbiker? which is which? Anyway, from MOA we head to Marina now with Veeduber, entering Marina Entering the Trail through the side of the bay facing Cavite Light house?/ Guard House? Senti si Vincent and Alain hehe Veeduber said: "Hey check out the trail, lets try it!" me and alain said: "What Trail???!!! of course Veeduber is the more adventurous type, we just chickened out because of the super thick and tall grass, but Vincent still went for it, then came back after disappearing for awhile and said: "Im not afraid of entering the trail I was afraid nobody would follow me", and yes we did not follow just got scared, so he came back out, hehe ;D Then we head on towards the rocky trail On our way out Uphill, filmcenter lang Alain:"gutom na ako" ganda ng View, trans: 'I'm hungry hey nice view!" Vincent: "May itsura pa naman, beki ba talaga to?" trans: "Pretty gals? or Guys?" So I invited the guys to have breakfast with style, we'll have breakfast at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel, Vincent said, Pare got 100 bucks only, told him that's good enough hehe Upon entry at the North Parking of Sofitel, sorry no vallet... Bikes Parked Vincent had Sayote with giniling(ground pork) 2 rice and Royal true orange, I had cornbeef with egg with sayote, banana, double rice and coffee, Alain had sayote, giniling, coke and 3 rice!!! After 2 Minutes... total bill 195 bucks for all shoot ang budget, with free sinigang soup On our way out. It was a relaxing Sunday ride for us, complete with breakfast at the Sofitel Gilid, thanks for viewing. RIDE SAFE!!!

Sure thing Papa Rocky, in case your there and Im not around, just tell the guard at the North parking area of sofitel "Kakain lang kami" its the parking before reaching the coconut palace or the rotnda.:-) It's being run by Sofitel cooperatives that is why food is cheap and good, class na class. hehe sige lets have breakfast at sofitel soon Papa Rocks!

My cel phone is really useful hehe, actually most of the shots, they didnt know I was taking pictures, and some shots were kinda awkward, coz took them while biking but turned out ok, Im not good at posting maps, but its easy to find it, just go straight to the end of Macapagal Highway at the dead end the road to your left is going to Coastal Road and the one to your right is Marina, you wont miss it coz you will see the twin towers right in front, but you have to pass through the gate where there are guards, just wave and give them a big smile, go straight and the trails are just ahead, you can go straight towards the building or, turn left on the 1st intersection thats the start of the friendly trails,but in between you will see some single tracks which has tall grasses and sometimes its muddy, you can also check it out, but ofcourse its still a private property, I only hope we get to see Dr. Albert. Who guided the first group around the Marina, coz he lives in Marina. Take care brad!:-)

The subdivision security guard almost didn't allow me to enter the premises. I just smiled and haggled for "1 ikot lang." Was it because I'm alone or were they just more strict these days? I hope there would still be a next time for us =)

Moment Gadget's bukol has subsided and he is ready to ride trail of the twilight zone, I will join also...ok? I will find out from Sir Tibbar also if his right hand is pain free and capable of indexing deore shifters anew. If Tibbar is fine and dandy, we will bring some ghostbuster contraptions that may solve DocAlbert's mystery once and for all.

Ok so we set a schedule na this sunday, we start early around 600am at the flagpole, kasi I have less than a half day VISA this sunday eh :-(, then to MOA Marina then Sofitel hehe. whoever wants to join please be at the flagpole nalang, but I think we need reinforcements, papa Rocky we need to contact Dr. Albert Tninininini, kasi he is our easy access in side the Marina, or maybe we tell them we are visiting our Tito Dolphy? either way, it would be easier for us to get in if we have Dr. ALberts contact. :-) Anyway, Im sure it will be ok for them if we go in. We dont look like kidnappers or hoodlooms naman eh. :-)

Hey guys Im really sorry but I really cant make it na this sunday due to lack of time, I have prior appoinmtments with my family. But if you will push through with the Sofitel fine dining breakfast just proceed to the north parking its the parking of sofitel near the coconut palace and rotonda, and near the delegation building of the PICC, just tell the guard na you'll eat lang, upon entering the parking its to your right. Enjoy your fine dining!!! :-)
