What gears to wear and things to bring:
Each rider should wear appropriate riding gears for the Ride like full-face helmet, long-sleeve jersey or jacket, knee and elbow guards (if you have), gloves, shoes (no slippers/sandals please!), ski mask (if you like), tank bag and saddle bag can be useful.
It's always better to be prepared! So if you want to, you can bring hydrations device like camel back, a bottle of water/juice/energy drink, extra shirt and face towel, cellular phone, camera, extra money, tools, pertinent documents like driver's license and OR/CR of motorcycle and first aid kit (for emergency).
Bring also your logo designs for us all to see it up and choose from.
Things to do before the ride:
Check your motorcycle's condition - Motor oil, spark plug, chain, tyre thickness and inflation, brakes (front and rear), lights (headlight, tail and signal), etc.
Check your own personal condition - Don't go if your sick, not feeling well, under medication and recuperation, intoxicated with alcohol or prohibited drug.
Routes, Stop-overs, Distance and Time of Travel:
Those riders from North area will leave by 7:00am and should be able to meet up with riders from the South area at pre-designated meeting place at McDonald's, Sucat road by 7:30. From there, the group will use the Quirino Avenue through Las Pinas to Zapote then Aguinaldo hiway straight to Tagaytay. Any member can link up with the group along this route (just make sure to inform the group of the place of link up).
There are a lot of Gas station (Shell, Caltex, Petron, etc.) along Aguinaldo hiway from Bacoor to Dasmarinas and they all have similar petrol prices. Premium Unleaded gasoline (93 octane rating) is at 38.25 pesos (about 2 pesos cheaper than in Metro Manila).
Our host, codeguru101, will link up with the group at Shell Gas Station (Salitran) and will lead us to Tagaytay. He will guide us through the beautiful scenic view of Taal, the solemnity of Tagaytay and the outskirt winding roads of Cavite. We should be having our breakfast at Simply Scrumptious(?) and hold our election(?) and votation of our logo(?) at the restaurant. Breakfast buffet being served at Simply Scrumptious is at Php 90.00 per person (exclusive of beverage).
It is estimated that we will cover a travel distance of 150-180 kilometers and will consume about 4-4.5 liters of fuel (to and from Tagaytay). Including stop-overs, picture takings, election(?) and others, we should be back in Metro Manila by lunch time or so.
Ride formation and Safety:
To have a safe travel, Ride formation is SINGLE FILE (single line) led by the Spearhear (Tranko) with Tail end (Sweeper) positioned last (at the back). With Spearhead in front, each Rider follows one another and must not overtake unless on emergency or with the permission by the Spearhead (since he/she has a better view of the road and the incoming traffic). The Tail end must sees to it that each Rider is in line with the group, take notice of abnormality in the riding of every Rider and their motorcycle, attend to Riders on emergency or mechanical trouble and make sure everyone is accounted for.
Hand, light, horn signals are highly encourage during the ride. Likewise, every Bravo Rider must exhibit camaraderie, road courstesy to other vehicles, pedestrians and animals, abide by the traffic rules and regulations and to "beep & wave" at other group of Riders we pass along and those coming our way.
Please be guided accordingly.
My concern on July 15 is how the weather will turn out. Please make your comments and suggestions on what is prescribed above and what if RAIN pours comes July 15. Thanks!
