Can our adventure considered heroism

Yesterday, 7 of the Recyclists (8 including son of Etoy,  Joshua) rode out to Real with the leaders arriving at 11:40 (Jeff and Allan) and the others short minutes later.  The 7 are:  Alan, Jeff, ,Gerry, Pres Luis, Etoy, Angel and I.  We met 7:00+ in Morong had lugaw, JUS had to have his flat fixed, 8:10 at Pisong Kape, 8:40 at Bugarin, 10:00 at Famy.  Those who were reported to have suggested this ride did not join.

We had lunch at the store of Zaldy Sampaga at about 12:30 and most of our lunch were 2 or more orders of rice plus dinuguan.   (naubos na luto)   Then we took a dip at the Pacific Ocean at about 3 pm. after some shots of Empi sponsored by Alan.    At 5:00 pm the group rode to the Real Town proper and bought only 3 orders of KFC (Kanto Fried Chicken)  Two were for dinner and one order was for pulutan of 3 bottles or red horse.

We slept at the Barangay Hall, which is being administered by Kagawad Larry Sampaga, the owner of the store where we ate.  We also used the CR of the tanod at the  ground floor.  We slept on the desk (at least two of us and the rest on the floor, for fear of falling from the tables.  The Barangay hall is about 20 meters away from the Baywatch 2.

Today we had breakfast at 5:00 am of tuyo ang fried eggs and fried rice. cooked by wife of Larry.  And some coffee.  We paid P50.00 each for the sumptuous breakfast.  Last night we chipped in P100.00 for the fried chicken and the Red Horsse beer.

We left at 5:45 via the same route we took, (some were suggesting we take the  Marilaque route Jarriels Peak but Gerry had broken rear spoke and we would not be sure of getting assistance in case of further mechanical trouble (such as riding the bus going home)  If not having a back up is a weakness, doing the Marilaque route can be reckless.

We were at Famy at 7:45, 9:00 am at Pisong Kape, and home by 11:00.    We were a little bit faster going home.

What does this ride show?  We can see the determination and courage of few people who can ride far out without back up (mga 90 km one way:  50 km to Famy and about 40 km to Real) and we can do this cheap.  That was only about P350.00 for the two day journey.
