                            Artist and biker Orville Tiamson taking pics of the Higanteng attendance The Higanteng Padyak took off at 6:30 with higanteng number of attendees present. Most were MTB riders and came from as far away place as Marikina and Quezon City.  One of the organizers I know personally is artist Orville Tiamson.  The estimate was 700 registered (paying riders) and about 200 not registered.  They had to start late (the supposed start was 6:00) because of the hordes that were still coming. There is a registration fee of  P300.00 which covers the T shirt, a free McDo breakfast.  Part of the proceeds will go to an public art school in Angono. Mr. Orville Tiamson  an artist is part of the group that spearheaded this ride.  It is on the third year. The Higanteng Padyak comes as a prelude to many Higante event in Angono.  The town fiesta is on November 23, 2017. And then comes a parada, of Higantes.    Land of Giants Bikes came in many size and shapes:   MTB, folding bike, old bikes, road bikes.  Male, female, children riders. It was a touching moment to be in touch with wave of humanity, who like you want to save the environment, and have long life.   They want good health, to discover themselves, and to enjoy the fun and camaderie in riding

                                                 They came all the way from QC;  salamat po

                                                           En route to finish line at Wawa The main street of Angono in front of the municipal hall was blocked this morning.  Reason, about hundreds or thousand riders of all types, roadies and MTB were waiting for the starting gun for a fun caravan ride that would cover Angono, Binangonan Cardona, that would cover 26 km. Entry fee is P350  (there must be a thousand participants) They wore green and white jersey (green is fluorescent) I joined the caravan on the way back from  Binangonan to Angono.  I overtook it though at Tagpos The pace is slow but there is a lot of jockeying to be at front of peloton from every body.  PUSO MC riders led the group and there were 2 ambulances that supported the ride.
