8th Takbulacan

View of Ipo dam near hilltop, Norzagaray, Bulacan

This was supposed to be a short ride to Pinagrealan cave, after resting and taking pictures in Pinagrealan cave we decided to take a peek of the popular biking destination here in Bulacan, the so called Hilltop, unfortunately we only went up to 7km away from hilltop with an awesome view of Ipo dam and Sierra madre mountain range.

The ascent was not that hard compared to Timberland, San Mateo, Rizal...

Going down was a breeze, you can reach speeds of up to 40+kph with smooth turns, a word of caution though, some vehicles that I saw going up was eating the opposite lane on some occasions, so dont take the smooth turns lightly.

Overall it was a fun ride and this would now be included in our short rides list.
