This is the 2nd time I have joined Sun Life CYCLEPH the first time being in 2015. What (I thought) was suppose to be an easy 40km ride turned out to be quite a challenge. For starters, the pace was awesomely fast that I feared one wrong move by anyone in the group would result in a major crash.
Though the route was fairly straightforward, cruising the streets of BGC in Taguig all the way to the end of Buendia Avenue, Pasay City with the added safety of partially closed roads, the challenge was the leg burning climb on the Kalayaan Flyover which we had to do in 3 loops.
The highlight of the race, however, was riding beside “Papa P“ Piolo Pascual. Ambassador of Sun Life and it’s “SunPIOLOgy” campaign that organizes charity sporting events to raise funds for education, diabetes awareness while promoting wellness and a healthy lifestyle for Filipinos.
Not a shabby way to spend a cool Saturday morning... out on the streets of the metro having a nice bike ride out with some friends for a good cause.
