It's not about the destination, it's all about the Journey

It's a story about my 22 hour travel using my bike.

here's the story.

On friday morning me and my groupmates in our bike association decided to have a ride on saturday morning. Those time are rainy season, we woke up early and there's a little raindrops so we decided to observe first if it is going to fall heavily, and luckily the rain stops, so we decided to continue the ride.

We are 10 in the group, and we have a 4 newbie bikers so that our pacing is not that fast. On our first stop over, we decided to go to 7/11 to have some breakfast. on our way to our destination, our one member got punctured and we decided to replace his interior to make our ride faster. And finally, we got to our first destination but unfortunately, the river that we are going to take a bath was closed so we decided to find another place to stay in.

Fast forward, it's already 12 in the morning and we decided to take a lunch then while we are talking with the vendor, we ask if there is another place to take a swim then they said that 5 kms. from where we are, there's a secret falls and we got smile and our face and a little hope that our travel will not be void. It's 12:30 PM and we decided to carry on so that we can reach our destination quicker.

While we're on our way, we asking each other if where's the place that the vendor told us because on our data we reached about 5 kms. and we decided to ask question to villagers and they said that the next place that there's river is 10 kms. away from where we are, and everyone of us got that face like "huh?" we got fooled by the vendors, maybe they said that 5 kms away from there so that we can continue to pedal and have hopes in our heart to continue.

Here's the ark of place we're going to, maybe only 5 kms. from here we can reach our destination. It's was quite difficult because our way is not flat, there's climb and descent, and also we are waiting to those at the back who can't keep up on our pace.

Here as you can see, we are carrying our bikes because the road is too stiff and we need to conserve our energy so that we can reach on our destination.

Fast forward, we are near to our destination and suddenly a bad incident happened. it was descent, and I heard someone calling my name shouting and I turned back and saw our one member is out of control, that one wearing red shirt. He lost his brakes and got crashed and we hurily came to him and checked if he's okay, unfortunately he was hurt and his bike got punctured front and back of his tire.

We decided to take a bath first and enjoy so that we will not go home in tears.

And here it is we enjoyed a lot, we took a bath in the river and after that we went to a pool.

We decided to go home because it's already 5 in the afternoon and then we pull up.

here's the picture while we fixing the tire of his bike. We took 1 hour to fix his bike so that it's already 6 in the evening when we left the area and it was totally dark and the only light we have is 5.

So we decided to move slowly so that no one will left.

it's already 11 in the evening and we are keep on pedaling, we are all hungry and we decided to have dinner and luckily we found one store that is open, and we took our dinner and we asked the vendors if we can stay for a while to have some rest and they agreed.

It's already 12:30 in the morning and decided to continue, you can see the drowsiness on everyone's eyes but they keep on pedaling to go home quicker. My eyes are half sleep, but i keep on pedaling so that i can go home.

here's our route, it's 160kms we do loop because its dangerous when we go back to where came from because of big trucks and the road has no street lights

We arrived at 5 am on friday then we came home at 3 am of sunday.

Final Note

Sometimes we're not enjoying the destination but the places we see when we travel. The experiences are the best memory to cherish.

I agree, it's the experience that is worth cherishing when roaming around. I'm not into cycling though, but traveling too early and getting home too late or too early is already normal 🤣

I also do cycling, the longest ride I had is 30 kms so far. The last 2 weeks I have not gone into biking, the schedules are busy, hopefully this weekend. Grabe yong travel nyo ang layo. I can't imagine myself if I can do that.
