Prepping for a Long Long Ride

As a big part of Vespinoy‘s user base gets ready for tomorrow mornings’ Mt. Data ride. I also begin preparation for Euroscoot’s long ride by the end of February.

Striking a pose in Pagudpud (2005), if you look really closely, you’ll see the famed Patapat Bridge in the background.

Riding these distances, Manila-Nueva Vizcaya (originally Banaue)-Pagudpud-Baguio-Manila, takes a big toll on the body. I should know, I’ve been on a couple of these epic rides out of town and it always leaves me feeling like Barrera after Pacquiao was through with him.

This time I think I’m better prepared. Owing in large part to having taken up Mountain Biking last year. I honestly feel I am in better shape than I have been in a long long time, so I’m raring to go.
