Long Ride - March 15

Its time for our weekend rides to be regular once more! So far this is the ride where most of the boys were present - only 2 were on the absent list.



This ride kicked off at Shellibee, it was around 7:15ish where the planned start time was scheduled at 6:15. Our ride leader was a little bit late due to technical difficulties - he over slept :))

The ride kicked off with a long climb up the Sumulong Highway to Antipolo. Its relatively easy but a very long climb. Since we started a little bit late, there were already a lot of riders going up the highway which resulted to rather sort of safe climbing since cars would slow down seeing a lot of cyclists on the road.

Upon reaching our usual stop - we found out that it was already full of customers. This pretty much new for our sights, since usually we only see a few tables occupied

After finishing our meal - it was time to back. The trip back was scorching hot. We had a quick break halfway through the long flats. We stormed a small kiosk of a local buko juice vendor.

Here are some additional photos in the long stretch of flats:
