THE ULTIMATE CYCLING TRIP FROM MANILA TO TAGAYTAY AND BACK

in #ocd3 years ago (edited)

I purchased my bike last year during the quaratine period. I desperately needed it because there are no other options for transportation, and that is the only way I can continue to work. This year, however, is a different story; I applied to FoodPanda, a delivery service that has helped me to survive each and every day.As time passed, my bike became my best friend and stress reliever, aside from always having my girlfriend by my side, assuming she haven't reads this. Oh my goodness! She's going to be envious. hahaha, just kidding, she's been there for me since the beginning ko. No one can compare to how grateful I am to have her.

Oh, back to my journey. Just like many plans that do not exactly work because of many circumstances. So, I make sure that this trip will be an epic one. And yes! It happened.

At exactly 2 in the morning of the 23rd of November, my friends and I started our pedal strokes along Las Pinas, under an overcast weather which we found very conducive for biking. Before noon we were already in Silang, Cavite with non stop cycling we arrived there at noon time, no exact time. I can’t imagine the long the uphill and the panoramic view along the way. Good thing my bike is not heavy and easy to pedal. After an half day of cycling. We arrived at last! at our main destination.

I just fell the numb of my toes and my butt when we arrived there, because from the start of pedaling my adreline rush don’t run out. That’s what we called “excitement and the feeling of fullfilment.

We booked an apartment for one night and are suitable for 4-5 people. After we rested, we decided to hunt for a Bulalo house and we found this eatery called Leslie's Bulalo Special.

Fact: Bulalo, a Filipino soup cooked with beef shank and vegetables, is unquestionably Tagaytay's most well-known local cuisine. This hot, meaty, and flavorful bowl of soup is the ideal accompaniment to Tagaytay's cold and breezy weather. This dish is can be found on the menus of numerous eateries throughout the city.

And after our late lunch, we go to Picnic Grove, one of Tagaytay City's most famous tourist spots, a great place to enjoy the cool weather while taking in the magnificent, panoramic view of Taal Volcano/Lake. This recreational area, with its built-in cottages and emerald, hilly environs, is ideal for picnickers, family meetings, and friend bonding. Picnic Grove, on the other hand, is more than just a picnic spot. It also provides a variety of fascinating activities to make the day more enjoyable and productive, ensuring that one's visit is worthwhile. Horseback riding, cable cars, the Eco-trail, and the zip line are all available to everyone. Isn’t it fascinating? For me, the weather is relaxing itself though. I wished I could stay for a while, but it closes at a certain time. So, before the sun went down, we decided to buy three bottles of alcohol so we can enjoy the rest of the night. Boys are boys; it's part of our culture; despite the fact that we had a lady with us, she also joined us and enjoys our company, there is no malice coz she’s like our sister.She just went home after our last shots coz she's living near the vicinity we rented.

Here are my photos in Picnic Groove, hope you will like it.

And after a long night of drinking, singing, and dancing at our rented accommodation, we need to get some rest because tomorrow will be another long day on the road.

Cycling out into the countryside with spectacular views at the end is well worthwhile the effort. Having some good friends along breaks the stress during these times, Oh yes that riding as well another way to rid oneself of stress.
