                                 Does Antipolo City own this?

       I think Manga is the biggest singlemost gathering point of bikers from QC, Pasig, Taguig, Marikina San Mateo, Antipolo and Taytay.

My main mission in riding today was to ride to Manga to take pictures of MM pollution possibly from the Padis point area.  They have spectacular view of Metro manila from there.

A lot of things have changed and new infrastructures have been built.  Here are some of the views (mostly about bikers)



                                 MTBs biker in front of Palos Verde



                                 Road bikers mostly at the right side, a P300t worth Colnago


                                  That is the landmark, La Montana estate (renamed?)


                                   This where bikers come to roost and preen feathers


                                   Wow, the bikers are so manyyyyy!



                           You can buy cheap gear and uniform here (may P150 pa bang jersey?)

I met two guys today:   Mr. Papay Aguinaldo from Daang Hari (I told him we are often passing through Daang Hari as we ride to Tagaytay. He said his group has tent behind a gasoline station there -  Petron? and said he was glad to meet me)  And then Mr. Philip Martinez.  He is from Santolan and is 76 years old.  He has a BMX with him and he said he all ready rode around Binangonan, Cardona and Morong this morning   He said his son conducts the race at Santolan.

Today May 1, is the start of trek of Metro Manilans to Antipolo

Last night, there was a supposed Alay Lakad trek from Quiapo church to Antipolo church.  I was expecting that there are late trekkers today;  I saw none as I biked early today to Antipolo church. However, the mood was festive and there were plenty of people car and church goers.


                      Main road leading to the church was choking with vehicles and pedestrians
                                   The large building there is the parking facility cum mall


                                    Large throng of devotees/customers - buyers




                The faithful lining up single file to pay homage to the Lady of Good Voyage
