Independence Day ride!
Moving house has brought me closer to Camp Aguinaldo so I decided to pedal all the way there (4km from door to camp gate). I originally asked a friend to come with me but he found out on the morning of the ride that he had a flat and didn't have a spare tube.
Log in at the camp was now at the front gate (instead of near the entrance to the trail), where you sign in a logbook, leave an ID and the guard gives you a camp tag. They ran out of tags so the guard just had me sign in. No more entrance fee!
They've lengthened the trail a bit, adding more twisty, switchback sections to maximize the area. I estimate it added at least another kilometer to the total distance. I did two laps, the 2nd lap for taking photos of notable trail features.

| Jurassic Bike |

| Jeep Cemetery |
 |
| Heli-biking anyone? (the former parking lot) |
 |
| Can you say Saccharum spontaneum? |
Signs galore...
 |
| How do think this section got its name? (could very much use a berm) |

By expanding the trails and actually doing a major cleanup (no more used diaper land mines!), the Camp is going in the right direction.
I had a whole lot of fun, especially since I haven't gone trail riding in ages. That said, my pummeled hands/arms/shoulders had me wishing again for a full susser (or a
2016 Stache).
