I took these pictures while riding (dangerous and difficult eh)






                                       Can you identify their butts (puwet?)





                               I used the left hand to click this one


                               I took my own picture while riding.

Richard took these pictures too while riding


This is a great picture.  Magnificent.

Sierra Madre Hotel   (time is 9: 45 and it was raining already)




                               The Laguna Lake View

We had to let the rain stop


                              This waiting shed was a welcome shelter from the rain














        It was almost l0:00 am.  We had to wait some 20 mins. more.  Choco2 had  a flat tire


                                                  The Lake view horizon


                                            What is IPLC?


                                               The Sierra Madre view from waiting shed




We took from this place by 10:20 and  there were still three hills to climb:   one before the Bureau of Soils, then before the Garden cottage downhill, and then one before Foremost Farms.

Nolite  and Gerry overtook me at before the  Garden Cottage;   Weng and Joel overtook  me at Gardem Cottage.  I was at Garden Cottage by 10: 50 and at Vics by ll.05.  I had to do away with scraps.

Waiting at Vics Bulalo




                          Waiting for the bulalo to digest before a 2 km uphill ride



                               That is another 2 km hard ride ahead and it is almost noontime

At Cogeo (we have passed Bosoboso hill and another hill) resting before Olalia Hills




                                    Allan had  flat tire here


                      Look at the streaks of water spray at the back;  spoiling the nice uniform


                               Choco2 and another boy


                                       Another self portrait;  Armin at the background

After this we  ascended Olalia Hills;  it was 2 km of back breaking hill climb.  I thought, I will not finish it.  But I did.  First time to ascend it.

Now which route is easier.  This one is without the Olalia hills.


                                At the Aquino park;  a little before l pm

I was home by l: 30.  My legs were sore.  Now it is time to celebrate Happy Mother's Day
