Google maps for our Friday ride - read and be prepared

Biking and health

May I suggest that we read and view the following maps as we prepare for the big ride this Friday. The more there are guys familiar with this, the less likely we will get lost

San Fernando City - Gapan Olongapo rd intersection

Tabang Guiguinto spur -interchange

Katipunan to Tullaha Gen de Leon to MacArthur Valuenzuela

We will be prepared and we will not get lost this time

Take note of this spur at Tabang Malolos intersection; you can get lost

Take note of this spur at Tabang.  Coming from Balagtas (from the south where we came from) if you go straight, you go to  Guiguinto and to Sta Rita exit of NLEX going to Nueva Ecija.  So you take the cloverleaf to the right and go down to the road that goes to Malolos.

Get that?

Consult the google maps first so you will not get lost

Biking and health

I understand some guys got lost going to Atimonan about a month ago.  They made the right turn to Bondoc peninsula.  One can get lost easily.  The van and several other riders who have gone before to the same place got lost.

It is best to consult have google map with you.  When we went to Calauag last year, I had a google map printed.  It makes a good sense.

Here is an Atimonan google map (if you are in Gmail, you can just click maps at top bar)

Tagaytay Ride by Real Men on September 4, 2011

                                         The Gay Men In Alabang Before Entering Daang Hari


There were five GayMen who went up to Tagaytay today.  There were 3 new who joined us; there were two Real Men who were unable to join us today:  Alan and Weng.  The Gaymen were:  Gerry, Angel, Neto and John Rey, (Neto's son), and I (Jorgeus biker)  Gerry and I were the only RealMen joining the GayMen.

As my cyclocomputer is not working today, I compute, este estimated the distance to Tagaytay frm Angono to be 75 km one way.  We took the shortcuts:  C6, Daang Hari until Molino,  Palapala, Greenwoods, and then Silang.   From Silang, it about l4 km to Tagaytay.  That is l50 km 2 way.

We left at 630; at Alabang by  7:40; at end of Daang Hari by 8:00.  We had breakfast at Palapala by 8:30 having adobong kambing and dinuguan, laing, and pansit.  We were at  Silang by l0:00 am and Tagaytay by 11:l5. It was quite earlier than our two previous Tagaytay ride and we took this opportunity to tour Tagaytay up to Peoples Park, St Annes convent, the gardens and flowershops, the econo hotel to enjoy the Taal lake sceneries.  We went down at l2:l5 and we were in Silang by l:20 and was off by 2:00 pm.  We were at Alabng by 2:25 and at Sucat by 3:00 pm.  We stayed a while at Napindan bridge until 4:30 and we were home at about 5:00 pm.

What a ride. I enjoyed the ride.  I used light gears all throught out and did not race.  Although I would say we were cruising mostly 25 to 30 on flats.  I was doing 20 going up to Tagaytay (compared to l0 to l4 before)
