For TCH ride...
1. Make sure your bike is in good condition to avoid problems up there since the place is remotely situated and we don't get much help immediately. Make your your brakes are functioning. The last time I went there my rear drum brake was already out and I had to solely rely on my front disc brake which is very dangerous on the downhill. Eventually I made it home. I had to change it immediately when i got home. Don't do the same thing I did. Change it before the TCH ride.
2. Lahug to balamban route is ok but balamban to lahug route is quite steep on the uphill. And perhaps let's avoid getting caught by sunset on the TCH route because fog is really heavy by then. So let's us take the Toledo-Naga route on our way back. It is easier and safer.
3. Bro Orvz, have to set stopovers esp during lunch. Stopovers for sight-seeing and picture-taking also. Pit stops for refuelling need to be declared also. Also Bro don't forget the rules... better give it out as early as now so that everybody will have time to familiarize with it. I hope I can join you in this ride.
Ride Safe!
Thanks Bro Manta Rye for the inputs.
Please be there sa atong ride.
Route : Shell Gas Station Lahug -> TCH -> Balamban -> Toledo -> Naga -> Home Sweet Home
Target Time to be home: Before Sunset
Here are few things to consider before, during and after the ride.
1. As mentioned earlier by Bro Manta Rye, Make Sure that your bike is in good condition
Fuel - Full Tank
Tires - Right Tire Pressure and Good Thread Life
Oil - Right Oil Level
Brakes - Front and Rear brakes working
Lights - Headlight, Tailight and Signal Light are working
2. Riders and Back Riders must wear safety gears such as Helmet, Long Pants and Shoes
Jacket, Gloves and Pads are optional and if available
3. You may also want to bring along the following: (Better Ready than Sorry)
- Cash for (Snacks, Lunch, Pasalubong, Gas, Water etc)
- Water
- Rain Coat
- Spare Sparkplug
- Basic Tools (Spark Plug Wrench, Open Wrench, Screw Drivers)
- Spare Tire Inner Tube (Interior)
I will bring along a handy tire air pump just in case someone might unexpectedly have a flat tire. (para maka pa dagan lang padong sa nearest vulcanizing shop)
Bro Manta Rye will be our medic since he is equipped with first aid kit.
4. The ride will start with a prayer and getting to know you since some of has here haven't met in person yet.
5. Prior to ride off, the riders will be assigned a number
1 (Phaser) - Leads the ride and implement basic hand signals
2nd Rider
3rd Rider
4th Rider
Tail/Sweeper - The last rider of the convoy. Will act as a marshall during the entire ride.
Sees to it that nobody will be left behind. In case of an emergency stop, The tail rider
will overtake all the riders and inform the Phaser that the convoy must stop due to a particular reason (flat tire, accident, engine failure etc).
6. Rules during the ride: (Open for suggestions and more inputs)
-Once the ride has started, the Rider must observe his assigned number.
- A rider must observe safety riding habits (no horse playing)
-He/She must not overtake nor be overtaken by other rider within the convoy.
-The rider must be aware of the fellow rider in front and behind him/her.
-The Rider must maintain at least 1 car distance before each other.
- The Phaser will be speeding approximately 60 to 70kph (depending on road conditions and circumstances) and sees to it that fellow riders are able to catch up.
- During the 1st stop over, a rider must express his assessment base on his/her given number if he/she is comfortable with it or as well want to be given another number. (Some riders prefer leading ahead, riding in the middle of the convoy or on the tail part of the convoy).
7. STOP OVERS:
1st Stop - Unang ma agi-an nga namaligyag mais hehehe, Assigned Number Assessment, Kaon Mais, Picture2x, Inom Tubig, Mangihi
Lunch - Balamban (mangita lang ta didto, if kinsay naay ika suggest nga maayo nga kan-anan, adto ta)

Taken from the Internet:
We'll use this short prayer before our Ride
Lord, Be with us on our journey.
Protect us from all harm.
Help us and everyone on the road to remain alert and aware so all arrive at their destination safely.
As always, we entrust ourselves, body and soul, to Your perfect care.
May Your will be done
Amen
