Tagaytay Ride  - Tagay (drinkers) Men

Caliraya Ride   -  Raya, Cali, and Panese Men

Just recently, a group of recyclists all wore red, so      -   Red Riders.

The Japanese Memorial Garden in Caliraya, Sept l8, 20ll Ride

Have bike, we will help save the earth...

The main part of the ride was the tour of Japanese War Memorial Garden.  It consist of ll hectares and they charge Pl0.00 per pax.  It was built in the l970s by the Japanese government to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died at the place during the war.  The main memorial is made up of marble and located at the elevated portion of the garden. (I think we know this one)  The remains of famous Gen Yamashita is said to be interred here.

Our Cali (Raya) Ride Sept l8, 20ll

Have bike, we will help save the earth...

As with all other hard rides, only a handful joined.  The brave riders initially were Gerry, Angel, Luis, and Me, Jorgeus biker.  The others did not join because they said they would watch Mayweather Ortiz fight.  Netoy eventually caught up with us at Caliraya.  at about ll am.  He got a flat tire at 6 am and we thought he would just quit.

For me and Jerry we did the following hard rides in succession:   Sierra Madre, Real, Tagaytay and Caliraya.  Wow congratulations.  Alan got fried from Morong to overlooking and had to excuse himself;  Master Edwin did not join too.

We were wondering whether we would call ourselves:   Araya Men, Cali Men, or Panese Men (that was after we posed at the Japanese Memorial Garden and somebody covered the Ja)

We left at 6 am and got home at 7 pm.  That was partly due to staying long at Caliraya, picture taking, and me being slow. We are all sunburned.

Some pictures:
