Bike ride: Tanza and Trece martires (Oct.30)

Before I start let me just say that the traffic at Coastal road toll gate entering Manila bullshit!

I feel you south folks (Nov.2)

Backyard exploration this holiday weekend the route Governor drive naic, governor drive tanza-trece martires road.
With Four days of vacation at my grubby hands I should have ridden my bike everyday until my knees get mushy. That was the plan but I had other commitments like subdivisions trick or treat celebration, cooking my specialty pasta dish for my mom-in law birthday and mall runs with the family. As always I like taking long relaxing rides on a Sunday, because the buses and other road warriors out there less stupid.

Straps not just for BDSM play

The governor drive run through parts of tanza (naic) fairly flat. Reaching governors dr. going to trece martires where all the fun is at. Climbs are long but moderate the only real problem on this route is if you are fat and your bike is not properly geared. Again the folding bike 52-24 lowest gearing is not low enough as the sustained climbs not kind to the knees. Add to that all the open fields left and right and you long haul cyclist know what that means.
When you finally get the feeling of despair you will see the first sign of HOPE "SM 4km away". At this point a mall starting to sound not expensive, while sawing through four kilometers of climbs you will notice that false flat roads starting to get hilly. Here you will start with steepest ascent counted 3 punchy hills before a long ascent with final hill. When I finally stopped huffing the rest stop was in sight.

Somewhere in Governor dr. Tanza

Two blocks from the mall the intersection going to tanza-trece, Dasmarinas (if you go straight), and Indang if you turn right. Tanza-trece route going home.

No V8, gutted Mustang mach 1.

First time doing this route and will probably make this my Saturday route warming up.

You see this sign a lot in Cavite. But I would rather stay.
