Hi Guys, Holy week usually is a time of praying, fasting, reflecting, meditating, soul searching........you know what I mean....Some people go to the province to visit relatives while some do the "visita iglesia"..........last Black Saturday I did all of the aforementioned. We usually visit my wife's province of Nagcarlan every holy week........there we just eat, sleep, eat, sleep. I decided to change the routine and brought my bike. Saturday, Started to get ready for my long bike ride from Nagcarlan Laguna to Lucban Quezon. I'll visit the old churches, all 4 of them........hopefully my legs will hold. 7am off I went........Solo..............Direction.....Liliw........whew!! kainip ng walang kausap. Modernized Old houses in liliw Simbahan ng Liliw This is Shoe Avenue.....There are at least 100 stores that sells shoes, bags, sandals and flip flops. Next stop Majayjay Laguna.....still a long and lonely ride. Good thing the countryside view was scenic. Sarap maligo....tempting. Coconut palace Mount Banahaw in the background. Want to invest in majayjay?

Sir, you have strong legs and strong heart, it's a very dangerous route, more "S" and "M" roads. I tried that befoer, di ko po kinaya na di bababa sa ilang parts, na sobra taan.
Nice ride and pic sir!

Dinoxsite, I dont have any Idea of the distance, probably 30kms each way. Now I know I need a cyclocomputer and clipless pedals. It took me 7.5hrs including rest stops, picture taking, sight seeing, talktime and lunch.
Meyrick, Eric did his solo ride via cavite-tagaytay during good friday. Enteng on the other hand had himself nailed on the cross in Pampanga for his previous sins. Hehehe. I'm supposed to do this with Malvin but something came up and he had to beg-off.
Bernie, Its quite safe naman in those areas nowadays since the majayjay-lucban access road is being improved vastly by the government. I really had a hard time too, I just paced myself and didnt bother to look ahead, always head down and huff huff huff.

Wow! nice photos sir mark!
You know what? I did the same thing last Holy Thrusday. I made a solo ride from Nagcarlan-Lucban-Nagcralan. Sorry, i have no photos to share.... Where in Nagcarlan do you stay? My in-laws are from Brgy Buboy.
Black Saturday... I just spent the time riding inner barangays of Liliw. Brought home lots of ampalaya and sitaw hehehe
Next time you planned to hit the same, please tell me. I met some Lucban riders too and they are inviting to hit lucban trails.
Thanks for sharing the photos... ride safe

Sir MARCDC nice detailed shots and spots....... ;D why goes solo? (trans: kakainip nga yan) but as what you have post here i knew you enjoy your ride well..... Why did you not posted the pics when ur on the top of the Grotto Kamay ni Hesus!....(Trans: hehehe everytime i bike there di ko na rin makaya umakyat pa sa taas.....more than 300 steps in steep up kasi yan...baka di na me makabike pabalik).. Sayang PinoyMTBiker's of Lucban dont know ur there...they are also very accomodating (trans: lagi me pabaon na longanisa si sir Michael)....right Sir Michael? Thanks for the pics and scenery I enjoy watching every pics posted here in Galery... ;D

I was supposed to ride with MTBVentures that day but he had to beg-off due to some unavoidable circumstance. I would have wanted to climb to the altar but there were so many people so I decided to pass (also to reserve my energy). Too bad I was not able to meet with the lucban riders.

I passed this route last tues( on my pickup , ang ganda nga! This would be a fantastic roadie training ride, short but killer uphills pero under the shade when your almost at Lucban ganda rin ng views, good roads and very little vehicular traffic All day ride kung galing UPLB, though halimaws would mke it shorter If you like driving fast this could the road for you Twisty puro hairpins then fast straights! Sarap Too bad my truck handles like a waterbed bagal sa turns
