Bike and Save the Earth
We did it! Angel, Gerry and I biked up to Calauag Quezon December 28 to 29, 2011. Just the three of us - no back up vehicle, not much fanfare and planning. Boy are we proud of what we did.,
The journey was divided into parts: Angono to Atimonan lst day estimated distance l50 km,.. Second day, Atimonan to Calauag. distance of 70 km. We planned to visit the sister of Gerry at km 25l. But that would add additional 2 hours to the journey and we did not want to be late in going home.
Log of our travel: depart 6:30 Grandspan, 7:30 Morong. Breakfast. Leave Morong 8. At Bugarin 9 am. At km 60 Pakil l0 am. Leave l0:30 Pakil after snacks of Pansit, Minute Maid, and Bun at Manays. Then on to Cavinti. We were at Cavinti by l2:00 noon. We were at Lukban by 2 pm; we toojk pictures at Kamay ni Jesus; and Tayabas by 3 pm. At Tayabas, we had pansit Habhab and lumpia for lunch. Obviously, we were late. We attacked hard and we were at Pagbilao intesection with AH26 by 4 pm. We thought that we could reach Atimonan by 5 pm, passing through the highway by 5:00. It said only 3l km. We did not take the M (bitukang manok because it was 430. Maybe we should? The signs were wrong.
We did not choose the Bitukang Manok because it was getting dark. I do not know if it was a mistake. By 530, it was dark and were at the summit of Atimonan. And we had still lot of km to go before the town proper. Talk about Night Rider. Huhuhu. I think were at Atimonan town proper by 630; it was dark, and we did not have a place to go...
Then came Brian, fmr President of Bikers Club of Atimonan and who owns a bike shop. He welcomed us and showed us around and chose for us Kingfisher, a 300 pesos a night motel for us to sleep. We had dinner at an eatery cum bar with live band but we did not stay there. Gerry and Angel bought a bottle of Emperador so that they I will sleep soundly.
