Curiosity, and the chance to pedal a long distance (for some), got the best of some Mofos (a.k.a. Philmofo members).

I received a PM asking if I’ll be available to lead a a group of Mofos around our local trails. Since majority of the group normally rides in the east (of the metro) I decided to give them a proper welcome to the south (of the metro) trails, with this route in mind:

• Malipay trail network
• Paliparan trail (Halfway)
• Bokiko single tracks
• Bokiko’s rocky dirt road
• Langgam trail
• Paliparan trail (opposite direction now)
• Turn left at Halfway towards a dumpsite (sucks)
• Eat at the ihaw-ihaw along the road where this trail exits
• Go back in after eating, go straight to Tubuhan (a.k.a. Marlboro)
• Cross the river near the sampaloc (tamarind) tree
• Follow what I started to call the “Viva” trail going back to the Malipay single tracks
• Exit the Malipay trail network

After the first loop around Malipay we decided to have a quick breakfast and refreshments at the stores in Victoria. Then Hairball called me saying he was already at the Petron Daang Hari station. After giving him directions to where we were I went out to meet with him and bring him back to where the group was waiting so he can join the rest of the ride.

I was given a prototype of the upcoming version of the Philmofo socks which I raffled off at the end of the ride.

With 41 riders at the start only 14 riders were left at the very end* who were given a shot at the pair of socks. The challenge: guess my cyclocomp reading at the time (of the raffle). Whoever guesses closest to it will win.

Here’s the first part of the videos I shot with my GoPro helmet cam:
