02/09/08 - the plan was to drop us off (3 bikers) at ridge 3 trail head then our transport would proceed to talisay for the town fiesta. we will meet with them after our ridge 3 run since talisay is a 2 hour bike ride away only *ha, we should have known!* but coming from sm city north edsa, and because of the !@#$% traffic in SLEX, we arrived at the trail head at 5.00 PM with daylight fast fading
we decided to go for it, after the customary prayers at the start, we started our run and i'm happy personally because of my "progression" : i didn't clip OUT for the whole run! woo hoo quite an achievement for a newbie poser like me we finished the run "uneventfully" but the 1 newbie biker was all smiles. we left the forest part of ridge 3 and ended up at the sari sari store just when the dark overcame the light.
we then proceeded to do our two hour XC ride in the dark. with our very fr/dh bikes heheheh. was very dark, our past time then was to look for lights so that we could see our way. we were teasing each other "you know how i know you're HARDCORE? because you're biking in the middle of the night in laurel, batangas after a downhill run in ridge 3 and have 2 hours to go to get to talisay, just to do it ALL OVER AGAIN TOMORROW". and then there was this certain hill that we could swear was going down but all of 3 of us felt it became harder to pedal and we thought that we had flats. magnetic hill or maligno? didn't want to entertain the latter thought too much because were were in the middle of a very dark road between talisay and laurel hahahahah.
did it again this morning, fortunately jeeps coming up to tagaytay were aplenty because of the town fiesta in talisay. the ride up cost Php600.00 up to the Tagaytay Rotonda, padyak to ridge 3 trail head, bomb down the hills again and 2 hour bike ride again to talisay
sorry for the long post. just wanted to share! ride safe and have fun!
