Licao - Licao, Rodriguez, Rizal

Licao via Jackhammer and Diablo






This is our first ride to Licao-licao, we are supposed to go there via bricktown but on our way, we met this solo rider from Marilao who was also going to Licao who was kind enough to guide us to Jackhammer and Diablo.

First up was the "Jackhammer" and we were in for a surprise, it was a long and bumpy descent with wide turns and a ravine on the right with adobe bricks on the trail that resembles those of Intramuros' followed by a long bumpy and slippery ascent because of the bricks, grass and moist.



Thank you, sir! 

Next up is "Diablo", a long single track descent with some technical parts were we are forced to carry our bikes but most of the trail is rideable and fun. Some parts of the trail are tall grasses (taller than me and I am 5'8") and a river crossing followed by a double track with a river on the left side.





A ride to Licao is not complete without a full meal at the terminal, meeting other bikers and exchanging stories about biking and destinations.


On our next ride to Licao, we will climb Mt. Balagbag.
