After weeks of rain, and weeks of frustrated long rides due to rains, we were finally able to embark on a relatively long ride after a few months' layoff. We went to Angat Dam in Norzagaray, Bulacan from Montalban, Rizal, around 120 km forth and back, last September 21. Our path was paved road, although winding and rolling, especially in the Bulacan province.We had 22 members who joined the ride,

Last Holy Week 2009, 30 members of the Montalban Cycling Club reached Baguio pedaling. This is a cycling dream-come-true to many of us. We trained for three months for this climb, and we were jubilant when we were able to reach Baguio using pedal-power only, our preparations paying off. This Baguio ride is one great feat for our group.On Thursday, April 9, we biked from Montalban, Rizal to
