Congrats on completing the ride - it's a great feeling isn't it?

I hate to sound naive (more like ignorant) - but where the heck is that? Being a U.S. left coaster all my life, the only name on that map I recognize is Santa Catalina - but it's not the one I know. The coastal scenery must have been gorgeous.

there are lots of organized rides everywhere.. When I was in Pampanga, we also had similar rides..

But so far, this ride was the fastest and one of the hardest.. The climbs are unforgiving.. ;)

We had one support truck plus some support personel(medic, mechanic, etc.). The rest of the group will ride around the province.

I didn't bring a camera with me, but some of my buddies did.. They will be arriving this morning after the >300km ride, 5 of us retired :(, our bodies were not meant for double centuries, only a century and we're thru :D ... I can't wait to download the pics..
