Black Beauty all prepped for the long ride. Photo taken at around 2:30 am at home before I left for Luneta to meet my fellow riders. |
It was me, along with 4 other Centurions who pedalled the 195km++ route northward.
Harry, Tats, Topher and I assembled at Kilometer 0 at Luneta at around 3:30 am last April 17 (Thursday), and then biked our way towards Bambang, Manila along Rizal Ave. to hook up with Nowie.

Waiting for the rest of the gang at KM 0 at Luneta |

We took a detour through Fort Magsaysay which turned out to be a brutal uphill climb, similar to Timberland but longer.
We arrived at Tats' house in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija after around an 18 hour journey, had a delicious dinner, and hit the sack for some much-needed rest.
The following day, we hit the road again and pedaled our way towards the Port of Dingalan...

Swimming time... |
We had to head back to Cabanatuan City later in the afternoon to catch a bus back to Manila. So, we had to make quick progress for the 50km++ route to the bus station, load our bikes, and get settled in our seats for the bus ride to Pasay City.
Upon reaching Manila, we unloaded our gear, re-assembled our bikes, and prepared for the last few kilometers back to our respective homes.
I still had around 28 km. ahead of me. I took my time. I made a pit stop at a 7-11 at BGC, and then continued my ride. I finally got home past 1 am on Saturday.
I covered around 300km in total the past two days. Whew!
