Since I heard the story by a retired PA soldier from Manggahan about Baguio City MTB ride at night, I was intrigued. He said that they started out at 4 pm and was in Baguio City by 10 am of the following day. They rode on the bus on the way back. That is 18 hours of ride. On a day time, you can ride up to Urdaneta in 8 to 10 hours. But that is hot and tiring ride. At night, there is not much traffic and no heat to contend with
You need lamps though plus and endurance to pedal when at that time you are supposed to be asleep. Some say that this is dangerous, but not if you are on a group ride, the risk would be less. May try sometime

We Angelo Mahigop who is from Batanes and Bo. Pag asa in Binangonan rode yesterday and I together to Antipolo City. We had MTB. (He has a fixie too) He is in his twenty's, young and light in body weight.
We met at Shell Aurora at 6:00 am and he is apprehensive because this will be his first Antipolo ride. I told him since he has climbed Diversion, Antipolo is a piece of cake. I told him that if ever he finds need to stop, we will stop.
We overtook about a dozen MTB including a road biker and we did not stop until past Beverly Hills, And we resumed and I told him to be ahead, he left me by 50 meters, without him standing up.
We went to the church, had his bike blessed. He conversed with a biker from Rosario, an ex PA man Johnny who had a GTS bike with 42 gear. He said he and several others biked up to Baguio on a night ride. They left at 4 pm and arrived at Baguio at 10 am the following day. He said this is better because there is not much traffic and cooler. It is hot these days to bike
Night ride to Baguio City anyone?

I did two rides today:
1. one was am ride to Morong Rizal at 6:20 am and back via the Diversion road ending at 8:00
2. pm run to Marikina City (to John Wilkes bike shop) at 4:00 pm after Boyeth of Haoooh regrease the hubs of the Cosmic aero wheelset, ending at 6:50.
Am ride. I started at 6:20 after passing briefly at Sacred Heart Parish. I tried to do a 50 x 15 gear on the way to Cardona and Morong. I did Callahan though at 50 x 21 doing rapid pedalling. On the way back I passed through the diversion road. However, I eased up on the gear doing it 34 x 23. Without other riders, it was quite easy. No heavy breathing.
Pm ride . From Haooh I biked through MEG and floodway. I was at Ligayas by 4:45 and at John Wilkes by 5:00 pm. John Wilkes sold to me the Exustar cleats for only P350.00 and Shimano for P650.00 and paid them by card. I paid P50.00 to the mechanic to install the Exustar cleat to my carbon fiber Scott shoes. He pitied the old cleats which was pretty beaten up. I had coffee at McDo at Marcos Hiway and biked starting at 6:00 pm via the Imelda hi way. The traffic was heavy. at junction, at Brookside and Tikling. I was home though by 6:50. I think it was strong fast ride home
