    Calambua (north of Danao) had a fiesta and a new track was built for the occasion but was finished a week late ... This allowed me a chance to go ride the track a day before the race and get an edge maybe ... Here are a few sights along the way to the track ...

    Broke out the Kenda K270 5.10x18 dual sport... if the track is dry, I think I can run this tire on the hard packed clay stuff and leave the knobby at home ...

    This is the view on the opposite side of the ridge from the track ... it is not sand...just white looking, clay soil ... those are walking \ 125 paths ... very good ST riding going all over the country side in this area.
