Nice place... Went there on a bike run three years ago. Stayed at La Union Blue Marlin Resort which wouldn't have been my first choice and was a bit run down tbh. The upside was that Sunset Bay Beach Resort next door did some excellent food. Did you get to visit Baguio or Vigan? Both are well...

I'm originally a Brit, Patrick...

Thanks Tenman. It's my "immigrant" look ;)

If anyone is visiting or planning to move to the PH then please feel free to contact me. I live just on the outskirts of the Metro about an hour from NAIA airport. I have lived here for two decades and in Asia for the last 30, so if I can assist I will.

I generally "suggest" during the pre-ride conversation that the slowest rider heads out first and, for those following, to not to press closely. That way the pace is comfortable and not determined by machismo bs. I have been in groups where there is a hot-head contingent and it can become...

I prefer to ride alone, but I am invited to runs with two local groups and with 5/6 close friends. When I'm with the group rides I tend to see situations that others either seem not to anticipate or ignore - this can detract from the enjoyment somewhat, but I love their company and the laughs we...

Nice spot!

Exactly :D . My mind drifted off to spaghetti recipes Excellent system though.

I was thinking of the release of the front would release just to the foot operated rear for low speed traffic, which I believe you were trained to do, etc. But as I said, what makes sense to me may not be how it operates, so I defer to those that have the bike.
