The Angono to Urdaneta ride on January 25, 2014 would be the most challenging

Angono, Rizal.  January 15, 2013.    I just came from a trip to San Carlos City Pangasinan and as the bus was travelling along MacArthur I thought that this would be the most challenging for the riders.  i understand last year, the team vehicle got lost and they arrived very late at Urdaneta. And many were afflicted with cramps.  It is  196 km ride and would take approx 8 hours pedalling constantly at 25 kph

May I propose the following:

l.  Ride safe;  travel say at between 25 -30 kph only.  We can tackle the whole thing in 8 hours.  We can arrive at Urdaneta by 5 pm if we maintain our schedules;

2.  Have the driver a copy of the google maps;   inform him of the unusual traffic at San Fernando city.  He has to make a u turn after making right turn and go back to the MacArthur highway.

3.  Stops other than lunch should not take more than 10 minutes.

4.  Have the paired groupings or groupings again for safety and support.

5.  Let us divide the trip into   5 segments with rest of 10 minutes every segment.


        l.  Angono to Valenzuela

        2.  Valenzuela to San Fernando

       3.  San Fernando to Tarlac  city

       4.  Tarlac city to Rosales

       5.  Rosales to Urdaneta
