Itinerary description

the plan was to scale the mountain with towers that's always in my sight here in the office. ever since i've been wondering what's up there. so the week before, i pre-routed the course through bikeroutetoaster.. the course will start a climb to Buhisan to Toong then to Pamutan. from Pamutan instead of going down to Guadalupe, we'll have to continue climbing up to RCPI, Babag II and Mt.View will be the exit. I knew that this was a crazy idea of mountain biking session. we'll have to tackle a grueling 4km un-bikeable segment in the middle of the course. it was already 9am when we enter the trail head. you will start traversing a very steep, slippery, full of obstacle (tree roots & kadina de amor) climb. most of the time i was "pas-aning" my bike ky grabe ang dalan nga agian, di mabang2x. after this section, you will reach the top of the mountain. literally we're hiking at the top of the mountain with a complete 360 degree overlooking scenic view. we only had "Happy" peanuts for lunch and tubig sa butong for hydration (thanks God Almighty for the Butong), this what keeps us from hitting the wall, a life saver. at the end of the 4km mountain hiking is the towers of RCPI, we felt a great sense of relief when we saw the bikeable road again. it was a successful operation!!! It was already past 2pm when we exited Mt.View and I arrived home very happy, safe and sound... definitely, this route is not recommend. the 4KM mountain hike a bike segment is extremely tiring and technically demanding. i'd say the difficulty level of just hiking this trail without your bike is only around 4/10. but with your bike, it will double the difficulty level, trust me. most of the time mag pas-an ka sa imung bike :)
