Bikers race from Manila to Tagaytay

OVER 200 cyclists will join the Manila to Tagaytay Bike Challenge on Nov. 29 which will be flagged off from Remedios Circle in Malate, Manila.

Race director Philip Aquino Pacle said cyclists in both elite and amateur levels, hobbyists and even children are welcome to join the 64-kilometer event.

It will be a rolling start until Sucat Road in Parañaque where marshals will signal the start of the race to Tagaytay.

The growing folding bike community will also join the event with their own 18-kilometer ride from Silang Bypass to Tagaytay. Kids will have their own races along Mahogany Street in Tagaytay.

Pacle, appearing in yesterday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum at Shakey’s Malate, said PhilCycling president and Cavite City Rep. Abraham Tolentino (Seventh District) has given the event the go-signal.

Jones Campos, the event’s marketing director, said over P35,000 in cash prizes await the winners.
