This was the day I went on my first legitimate mountain climb. And for virgins, there’s no better way to pop your cherry than by climbing up Mount Palay-palay, better known as Pico de Loro. Warning, this post is gonna be image-heavy. And most of these will be images of me, so you have been warned.
The bike gods answered my prayers this Sunday morning and gave me the perfect conditions to take my bike on a nearby trail that a friend recommended.
