Take A Load On

The Mazda BT-50 Pickup Will Do The Job Of Carrying Your Outdoor Lifestyle With Flair And Ease

- Allan P. Hernandez

One weekend, FHM decided to join a group of vintage and retro bicycle enthusiasts for a ride out on the scenic countryside of Pila, Majayjay, and Pagsanjan in Laguna. The idea was we would load a couple of bikes on the back of a pickup truck and drive south down SLEX then out to the Los Baños route to Pila, meet up with the cycling group and pedal our way through the back roads of the towns, be done by mid-afternoon, then drive back to Manila taking the Laguna-Rizal back door— through Lumban, Paete, Pangil, Mabitac, Tanay, Binangonan, Teresa, Antipolo— effectively making the Laguna Loop, a route very popular with adventure cyclists (though not cycle the entire way, as is the custom).
