Ride to Ipo Dam

I biked this morning from our place in Novaliches, Q. C. up to Ipo Dam in Norzagaray, Bulacan.  The distance back and forth is about 54 kilometers.

It's all paved roads.  But, from Bigte, Norzagaray up to Ipo Dam gate is rolling terrain.

Unfortunately, unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter the premises through the main gate.  But, they are allowed to exit.

That's true.  In January of 2012, we biked at the Norzagaray trails and entered Ipo Dam premises through the back door from the river. When the gate guard saw us approaching the main gate, he immediately opened the gate wide.
