Jack's SNZ-Pangasinan-Baguio Tour




Ride started in San Narciso Zambales. Through Olongapo up to Bataan, pass Tarlac to Mangatarem Pangasinan where we spent the night. Got up the next morning and rode to Bugallon for their Fiesta. Crit race around Bugallon Plaza, then off to La Union, up Marcos Highway to Baguio City. Overnight stay at the Dangwa Tranco bus station then down Kennon Road to Manaog for another overnight stay. From Manaoag to SNZ was like a race against time and I bonked on the last uphill leading back to Olongapo. I was pretty much in a touring mode from 'gapo to SNZ on the way home since there's nothing left in the tank.
PS
Pic shows those big knee scrapes from my "semplang" a week before this epic ride.

Save the Philippine Eagle

I though this eagle is gone as in "no more" but I am happy to stumble on this website through FaceBook that some of the birds still exist. Philippine Eagle Foundation Official Website with their programs.
Here is another link that is really interesting. Philippine Eagle Biology and Ecology with slide show.
