Tagaytay Ride Route | Cavite Province, PHL | February 24, 2013

Jess is 2nd from left, Alan is a the upper right hand corner of the pics (extreme right)

There were news of Recyclists getting lost in the last Tagaytay ride. To preclude this, Alan Astorga and Jess Verchez were requested to man ahead of the riders (great riding training for them to ride fast) the following intersections: Sucat, Alabang, Daang Hari, Bacoor, GMA/Bacoor, and Silang. They were our marshalls.

The getting lost was not eliminated however. Somebody turned left near Wilcon at GMA. (We turned the wrong way at Alabang for the service road)

We thank and appreciate Alan and Jess for job well done.
