nice one Papi Jaymz. Obvious you enjoyed the ride with the boys!!! ;D
Pero I have to give it you on your passion with MTBing ... man travelling to Marinduque to bike I bet you spent few minutes only with your relatives just to catch your ride back to Manila. Addictus Primus Maximus!!!
Padyak all the way???

Anytime jaymz, everybody's welcome to explore our island.
If you have stayed longer you can taste the freshiest tuba c/o Dodong after the "putong".
I'll try to add more pics.

eeeey, nice ride jaymz anthrax, brad! thanks for viewing! i contemplated this ride since '92 pa with my climbing buddy... but i was not deeply into mountain biking pa nun... talking with okidok and other marinduque mtbikers, this was the first whole cross-traverse of the route/s on mountain bike, diba okidok? 70km+ of mixed concrete, tarmac, tire-hugging dirt, sandy loam, and mining road covered with scree/moraine-like rocks... nice one Papi Jaymz. Obvious you enjoyed the ride with the boys!!! ;D Pero I have to give it you on your passion with MTBing ... man travelling to Marinduque to bike I bet you spent few minutes only with your relatives just to catch your ride back to Manila. Addictus Primus Maximus!!! Padyak all the way??? heheheh... let me see... i pedaled from pasig to the bus terminal... the bus piggy-backed on the ferry to boac, marinduque... i arrived at boac 0500hrs, prepped my ride equipment, fast breakfast, mandatory visit to the boac cathedral... then okidok SMS'd me that the guys are ready to go at 0600hrs... arrived back to my grandma's house by 1600hrs... cleaned-up.. washed my bike... recovery 'lamon'... then slept 'til 1800hrs... bus arrived to pick me up @ 1830hrs... ;D no, i didn't pedal anymore when i got back to manila... too dangerous for a weary biker pedaling at 0200hrs on the streets of the metro... ;D total sleep time from friday to monday: 10 hours Anytime jaymz, everybody's welcome to explore our island. If you have stayed longer you can taste the freshiest tuba c/o Dodong after the "putong". I'll try to add more pics. yes! yes! yes! please do, okidok! heheheh... next 'uwi'!!! Uy! Going home for a ride is very sweet and sentimental Any chance of seeing an old flame. Nice ride Idol! thanks, idol enzo! heheheh... sorry for me, no old flame living in marcopper anymore... everybody left after it shutdown years ago... sentimental indeed! i was imagining a huge peterbilt or a mack careening down the mountain when we were pedaling up the mining road... hehehehe... ala-metallica's enter sandman nightmare video... heheheh.... not so much view & actions shots nga, pards pedro... i was enamored in pedaling towards the mining town... then those sweet downhills... then the rain... heheheh.... thanks for viewing, pare! nice choice of words "di kaya tongue ina, di kaya ng tripod hehehe....hi kulot.... 2 smites for you......... ;D nice pics, thank god i have a good excuse for not joining you.... otherwise i'll just be resting all day & night due to my cough & colds....... hahaha!!!! i thought it was gonna pulled-off/censored by whoopi nga eh... wait! maybe di pa nya view!!!!  hehehehe.... 2smites for you to brionne for not couriering my PinoyMTBiker socks.... heheheh.... excuses... excuses... excuses... heheheh... sana you joined... you're a marinduqueño rin, right? if this is not mountain biking passion, i don't know what to call it. thanks jaymz brad for sharing, it's great to see okidok and the marinduque MTBikers. great trails, great view, great food and awesome company.......all worth the homecoming tito arci, it's a reunion-come-mountainbiking-leave-from-work.... hehehehe.... thanks for viewing!!!
