Our goal in yesteday's ride was to reach Kaybiang tunnel in Ternate 98 kilometers one way

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal, Philippines

Our ride yesterday took us to Kaybiang Tunnel in Ternate Cavite, a rather long and challenging ride.  Some clocked it at 198 km, out and back, some  say it is over 200 km.  Whatever it is our latest two rides one to  Lemery and this one, make the Recyclists very tough riders.

Riding up to Puerto Azul entrance and to the tunnel, and back was rather tough.   The 5 km up to Puerto Azul was tough, so was the ride to Mt. Palay Palay DENR station, and from the tunnel, going back to Puerto Azul entrance.  Couple that with the distance of 100 km distance while at Kaybiang, and you could just imagine what went in our mind as we rode.

The Kaybiang tunnel is the longest in the PHL so far, and connects Cavite (from Ternate) and Nasugbu.  It is possible to travel between the two provinces via the coastal roads.

                             All of a sudden it is KM 96 here?!  It must be km 70 at the other side

                                     The tunnel must be lighted

                           The carry all service vehicle;  it would be overloaded with casualties soon
