Yesterday, I was supposed to join a tree planting ride to Ipo Dam, Norzagaray, Bulacan. Instead, we went to Manaoag Church then to San Fabian Beach for a some sort of family reunion and despedida gathering for my eldest sister who's leaving tonight for the U. S. of A.
I loaded my bike and planned to pedal from Manaoag to San Fabian.
We arrived at the church at about 10:15 am. I unloaded my bike and pedaled towards San Fabian. After an hour, I was already in San Fabian; and, I pedaled farther to Damortis junction in Sto. Tomas, La Union. It's another hour ride. At the junction, I turned around back to San Fabian to rejoin my family.
The total distance is about 45 kilometers, which took me more than three hours.
Maundy Thursday morning, we left for Candelaria, Zambales at around 8:00 am. Whew! The place is too far away; and we arrived at around 5:00 pm. The kilometer post shows 248 kms.
Friday morning, wifey and the kids boated to Potipot Island and I biked towards Pangasinan. And, I reached Burgos, Pangasinan. The towns of Candelaria and Burgos are separated by three towns - Sta. Cruz, Zambales; Infanta and Dasol, Pangasinan.
I pedaled about 50 kilometers one way or a total of about 100 kilometers. I left Candelaria at about 7:00 pm and back by about 2:30 pm.
On the way back, I passed by some beaches and dipped. The sun's so hot.
My family enjoyed the Potipot island; and, I very much enjoyed my ride.
