Riding with the LiLoAn riders again ... The rides I put here are usually over towards the middle of the island and I refer to these as deep rides and rides such as this one, I refer to as shallow as most of this stuff is only a few miles away from the coast line ... Here's what we rode through on the first few videos below ...Running the valley between those small hills and then up and over one and out the back side and into the larger stuff on the west side. Most cases when we roll down into a valley means we'll have a climb to get back out. That's always the high point to me ... The land mass in the upper right is LapuLapu(Mactan) with Cebu City to its far right. That is ~fairly steep climb out of that small valley but these pics are so flat looking .. Maybe we do need new cameras technology to how add depth or something to pics. Here's some of the GPS data ... 760' was about the tallest hill and you can see we had 3 climbs of that size ...
This is just random pics along the way of the ride ... On the 2010 TC250 Reklused bike ... None of this stuff today was overly difficult where I'd need to let the clutch do the work ... With that said, I did stink up one of the climbs pretty bad. Bird feeder of some sort.. Cyclist...Yep they stopped and BSed some .. .No fighting, no put-downs ...Filipinos are pretty much on each other side. Back out to civilized world.
Another stopping point .. Not sure why but that place looks pretty sturdy .. Here's the roof .... That's the trail we just came down. We ended up heading on the trail to the right of my bike ... Can't see it but the trail goes to each side of my bike and straight ahead also.
Here's the final place where we came out of the valley. Last of the trail as it connects to the hardtop road.
I've been wondering what a green colored bike would look like here in this jungle looking growth ... Foreground is a yamaha 175cc with a new IRC 18" knobby and in the background, a yamaha frame with a china-made Loncin 125cc engine. Here's one of the local pipe makers ... Another 175cc bike I think ...This one has a working oil-pump... Not really a fan of that tank and seat style ...I'll take the style above. I think this one is a 200cc bike.. Single-sided radiator model. Not really down with this seat or tank... linage style is ?
Here's the video starting from close to the shore line and heading W\SW across the flat lands and into the foothills and first ridge-line of the mountains.

Riding the valley ... I like this riding but you gotta watch out for lava rock that can be anywhere in those weeds. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkHjbPAD3FA -- Getting into some of gnarly stuff ... Just about all rock here in many places View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICdqnhp8W5s
Part 5 - Here's the top of one of the foothills .. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8W85eq40jc -- Part 6 View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bptBu4aXQBk
Here's the last 2 sections .. The largest climb that I stunk up so bad, I forgot to turn on the cam ... In any event, this is not flat and you can hear the bike lugging along pretty good I think... Again, no need to let the rekluse do any work here. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2_WnFgsegs -- Out to the road. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHGIZspk1z8
