A short video of the 8th takbulacan

Our starting point at Caypombo, Sta. Maria, Bulacan

with our brand spanking new jersey, made by

"No.1 Apparel Design" or NAD

Group picture at SM Marilao, unfortunately only half

of the group was able to ride that day. 

Looking forward for a century ride.

Our friends: Caypombo Cycling Group or CCG with 

their brand spanking new jersey as well.

 Are we having fun yet? 

 ofcourse we are!

How about you guys? are you having fun? I hope you 

guys had a good time as well.

We got separated from our main group because we waited
for some of our team mates who went shopping for
masks in Tabang.  

Finally we arrived at Jed's island resort, one of the sponsors
of the 8th Takbulacan.

Perfect parking lot for the "Katipuneros"

Resting while the program is ongoing.

Resting again at Tabang before traversing Guiguinto, Balagtas
Bocaue and finally Sta. Maria.

Overall it was a really fun ride, we clocked in at 105 Km. This is our first century ride and our first time to join an event like this as well.  I was really amazed by the number and variety of bikers that joined the "Takbulacan" fun ride, I was really happy seeing young BMX'ers, they remind me of myself when I was younger, the folding bikes, the japan city bikes, the manila bikes specially manong's bike, the one with the sound system that brought out smiles from everyone, the road bikes, the fixed gear bikes, the beach cruiser, the vintage bikes, we are all special in our own way.  The oganizers were pretty nice as well, they gave us food and water even if we didn't buy tickets for the event.
