After a long wait for the announcement of the next mission ride, it was finally posted by RFAC Scoutmaster Extremevelocity: BAHAY AMPUNAN in Barrio TALAGA, TANAUAN, BATANGAS.

Soon after the revelation of the venue, came a series of discussions on a specific part of the route to Barrio Talaga. The steep and winding road from Tagaytay down to Talisay raised concerns from caring RFAC Volunteers. In no time, Ride Director Blacknaz07 took over a series of meetings with his Marshals and co-COEs. He also humbly sought the advice and assistance of regular experienced Volunteer Riders in his priority of wanting to get all the riders down in one piece.

The break of that beautiful dawn dictated the mood of this mission ride. One after another, the Volunteers came with packages attached with their motorcycles. Each had a special offering for the abandoned grandmothers who were taken in by the orphanage that was set up by the Catholic Women’s League of Tanauan City, Batangas. As usual, there were familiar faces, as well as new Volunteers. Very noticeable was the more frequent sound of the shutters from a grown number of sophisticated cameras that constantly clicked away. This was carved-out to be another memorable mission ride and the Shooters had once again frozen the event into incredible photos!

As Spearhead/Scoutmaster Extremevelocity rolled out, two long lines of the 165-motorcycle convoy followed in cadence. We were led through all kinds of terrain, from the new C-5 Extension and through a dirt road at the confusing Zapote junction. We slipped through the traffic of Aguinaldo Highway with protection from the Marshals. There was one minor fall but the well-geared rider gingerly stood up, dusted off his protectors and proceeded with his conviction.

In no time, we all were at the mouth of that overly feared Tagaytay-Talisay Road. Once again, Sir Blacknaz07 pulled all his Marshals in. He sent them down as an advance party and strategically deployed them in sharp curves and steep roads. First to be dispatched were the tightly guarded first-timers to the road – well escorted down by the best Marshals of RFAC. Next were the scooters, underbones, and dirt bikes. Of course, last to descend were the Sweepers who readily came to the rescue of one Mio that had mechanical trouble. At the foot of the winding road, all the riders patiently and worriedly waited until word came in that the Sweepers were on their way down with the Mio. The dreaded road merely proved to be just another pat on the back of the RFAC Volunteer. The winding road was just appetizer!

All for one and one for all, the RFAC Volunteers rolled another ten more kilometers or so to where the climax of the ride was waiting to happen. One by one, the bikes entered the barren front lawn of the facility. Not long after, an approximated 1,500sqm. lawn was filled with the RFAC horses. At dismount, all the small donations were placed on a table near the waiting grandmothers. Imagine the boredom of old age being interrupted by this spectacle of a motorcycle invasion! That alone was an imprint astonishing enough to squeeze into the crowded engrams of their over-crowded memory banks. It was hard not to think about the probability that this event was a “ last hurrah” for some of them, especially the one who managed only to open her eyes a few seconds far and in between her fatigue of a lifetime.

But yes, most of the old ladies put on their best smiles and greeted us with the warmth that otherwise would have gone to their visiting offspring. Marshals Joko and Emay created havoc when they trotted into “center stage” to the tune of “Nobody But You”. One by one, the lolas, who still had a little left in their dancing feet, were pulled to dance in the middle. Surprisingly, even Ride Director Blacknaz07 rose to the occasion and picked up a dancing lola partner!

After the helmet was passed around (in support for future RFAC ride expenses) and after the Shooters feasted on the scrambling volunteers, it was time to go. We unceremoniously bade goodbye and even before the dirt bikers did their stunts to punctuate the visit, some of the old smiling eyes started to wither back to nothingness. No words can even attempt to describe the impact of how a special day at the dusk of one’s lifetime could have meant.

Another job well-done, another mission ran. God had again smiled at the brave and shining RFAC heart!

The Ride for A Cause (RFAC) Ride called as Mission 9 Season 2 was successfully accomplished last January 17, 2010. The chosen beneficiaries were the Children of upland town of Siniloan, Laguna. Mostly indigenous families, their source of income comes from vegetables and fruits farming. Also drift wood furniture making, kaingin or uling (charcoal) making. Sometimes they travel to nearby towns of Real Quezon to find livelihood that would took them roughly 30kms to reach. Schooling for the children is somehow hard for lack of school supplies, textbooks and no footwear.

Despite the bad weather condition, the Volunteers braved the heavy rain despite soaking wet and feeling cold, in accomplishing their mission thru the winding road and uphill climbed of mountainous part of Rizal, Laguna and Quezon Provinces.

The Volunteers gathered at a gasoline station along Marcos Highway in Marikina City bringing with them their donations consisting of cloths, noodles, canned goods, biscuits and other goods.

A pre ride briefing was held and a prayer and asking for Divine Guidance was said before take off.

Because of the unfinished bridge damaged by recent typhoon Ondoy, the group has to reroute and passed thru dirt road. With some miscommunication, the van that carries the donations was diverted to another route and has to tackle a steep climb of the road. The passengers had to alight and hiked for about 500 meters. As the van reached the highway, the convoy of the motorcycles passes.

First stop was as the Garden Cottages for regrouping. Some motorcycle suffered minor mechanical trouble and has to excuse them selves for the continuation of the journey. For the very first time, we have a DNF (Did Not Finished).

As the group continued their travel, drizzles started, this doesn’t hamper the spirit of the Volunteers. Second stop was for a gasoline station somewhere in Tanay, Rizal, since there are more than 100 motorcycles with different engine displacement they have to refuel instead at the gasoline station in Famy, Laguna. At this point heavy downpour started. Some Riders wear their rain gears and majority don’t have, the rain was unexpected in this time of year.

At Famy, Laguna, in a gasoline station, the group was joined by Riders coming from Laguna and nearby places. Rain continues to pour. Despite this, the group continued their journey to their destinations. Another winding and uphill climbed tackled by the Riders. With the bad weather condition, heavy rain and strong winds, the group traverses with slow pace for safety reasons.

Another mechanical problem with the van happened. Riders who were with the van hauled the goods using their motorcycles. With the help of the Barangay Chairman, he borrowed a van to fetch the passengers of the damaged van.

At the school where the donation took place, the Children were eagerly waiting for the Riders. Heavy downpour and strong breeze continued, fortunately the school has a covered court and the children were spared for being soak with rain water.

As the distribution of goods started, the Volunteers started taking snap shots of what is happening to record the event thru their lenses. The volunteers had to find their way to prevent themselves to be soaked more of rain water.

You can see the smiles from the faces of the Children, for the simple donations they received from the Riders and Donors of RFAC.

As we accomplished another RFAC Mission Ride and giving ourselves simple joy of extending a helping hand, it gives us pain in the other part of our Heart.

We missed one Rider who from the very start of RFAC was with us. He is Engelbert “Gelgel” Cawad who succumbed to heart attack last December 28, 2009 at a tender age of 31, he left his wife Cel and a daughter Kikay. He was a Marshal, a mechanic and a clown. We misses his smile, his jokes, his is a down to earth person.

During his wake, the Officers of RFAC had declared this Mission Ride dedicated to Gelgel. His Uncle who is not a MCP Forum Member, created an account at the said forum and extend their families appreciation for the Love RFAC Volunteers showed during their trying moment. Together with his friends they joined this Mission Ride.

With this, his family showed their appreciation by volunteering to do the purchasing and packaging of goods. RFAC would like to extend their gratitude to the family of Gelgel.

As what Cel said, “Habang May RFAC May Gelgel” (as long there is RFAC Gelgel will be here).

There are so many names to be mentioned, to be thanked, but you know who are. Your undying support to RFAC will help to continue their mission.

To All Volunteers, Donors and Supporters… Thank You All…

Happy and Safe Ride

RFAC Christmas Ride to Aetas Settlement on December 6, 2009 – R8S2

Our Christmas outreach trip to the Haduan Aeta Negrito settlement in Mabalacat Pampanga, was a heart and eye opener. On one hand, there was an ecstatic feeling of giving to children. Children are children and toys were so much appreciated. On the other hand, one can wonder about the effects of reaching out to this nomadic bush tribe.

Upon touchdown in the perimeter of the settlement area, I had the pleasure to have a chat with their tribal Chieftain, Aeta Haduan Tribe Chieftain Fernando Mallari.

I was instantly awed when I learned that he was in his eighties, listening to his experiences during World War II. After he prided himself with how he deceived his age, the conversation turned to his observations about the transformation of his people in comparison with how he had lived most of his life.

Once upon a time, the tribe erected simple lean-to huts in areas where they find water and fertile land to plant on. They lived on root crops and occasional deer and wild boar which they hunted down with bows and arrows. They also enjoyed complementing their diet with fish that they interrupted from streams. After harvesting their crops, they packed nothing and moved on to another arable site.

The Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991 not only changed the topography of their habitat. It was also a crossroad to the tribe’s survival. Charity from their urban brothers restructured their way of life and established what now seems like a road that leads to nowhere. Permanent concrete houses were built for them and integration into modern life was in the air. That was the start of the many charity outreach projects from both local and foreign organizations. Ours was a mere meaningful outreach among all of those likewise meaningful projects, as we saw them comfortably posing for pictures with modern poses of having their “nike” hands below their chins that carried wide smiles.

After this warm welcome of the tribe, the soliciting of carrying their baggage and of being tour guides struck me as being an exercise which only spelled an institutionalized dependency on charitable organizations.

The story of the chieftain’s life is the story of his tribe. He later on gave me his cellular number in case another mission was in the works. He specified not to contact others as he handed me a papaya, suggesting a tinge of a doubt that he had interest in whatever benefits they may have in brokering an outreach visit. Later on in that day, he flashed out his framed photo at Malacañang with some other elders in g-string and mentioned that we can “talk about” photo ops with the tribe in ethnic g-string attire. Currency is now the primal consideration.

Chieftain Mallari himself discussed the decline in their lifespan and the effects of modern food in their health. At the end of the grueling hike of the urban riders, we saw the area littered with plastic trash. En-route, we saw charcoal micro-businessmen who even requested for us to take their pictures in their oblivion to the effects of what they are doing to their reservation.

The fumes of urbanization has crept into this nomadic tribe without a clear integration program from the Government. The lack of true concern for them is signified by the monstrous iron tie bridge that is waiting for them to learn how to sell scrap (which the bridge now really is). Apparently, where we parked at was Pampanga and where we hiked to was Tarlac – so responsibility and commitment over their welfare is being passed around from Pampanga to Tarlac local Governments.

The sense of charity that satisfy the various organizations and the relief in being recipients from the tribe are all apparent emotional feelings until a clear cut integration program is implemented in ushering them into urban life. Hence, charitable organizations have turned to enablers akin to parents who spoil their children onto adulthood. Obvious was the racial mix of the tribal newcomers who probably find relief from the pampering of urban charity. This brings one to wonder about the future of the children who will grow up forgetting their tribal ways. Many of them will follow the new trend in cutting down trees, making charcoal for a living, and awaiting charitable missions while they are still recognized as a legitimate ethnic tribe.

But time will come when half of them will have fairer skin, straighter hair and a taller stature… a tribe lost even in their identity. But until then, there will be enablers who will legitimately have the heartfelt satisfaction in wanting to help these unfortunate souls in this misplaced limbo that had crossed the point of no return.

I pray that they come up with a strong leader who can inculcate old ways and who can motivate them to go back to understanding how the rich bounties of nature can once again take care of them. The idle land that has been granted to them as a reservation is rich and arable, but it will remain meaningless to them while they too are idle.

At the end of the day, our RFAC project was not for anything else but for giving happiness to the children of the Haduan tribe… and it was all worth it! Our outreach was a definite success.

The once a month RFAC Mission Ride supposed to be a regular visit to an orphanage was change to a relief mission to the victims of Typhoon Ondoy.

This happened when the Ms. Danica Salazar, daughter of Sir Pogi kasmut who is in Barcelona, Spain posted a blog in the internet detailing the devastation made by Typhoon Ondoy to the Philippines. Included in the said blog was a solicitation for donation to the victims, fortunately, lots of good hearted individual pledges their support to the cause of Ms. Salazar. With this funds RFAC look for possible recipients that needs the most assistance.

Sir Extremevelocity, assigned to look for the proposed beneficiaries. With coordination with local officials, he chose the residents of Brgy. De La Paz, Bi?an, Laguna. Initially RFAC allocated funds for the first 100 families that need most assistance. This Barangay is still submerged in flood water as of this writing. To have an organized distribution of goods, Sir Extremevelocity issues claim stubs for the first 100 and a reserved 50 stubs to be distributed on site.

November 21, 2009 was purchasing and repacking day. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Volunteers, to many to mention, but you know who you are for your unwavering support and extending your helping hands in repacking relief goods.

This relief mission was set on November 22, 2009. There were two (2) assembly points for the Volunteers to meet. Unfortunately one of the Volunteer suffered a mechanical problem with his bike and the supposed merging of two groups didn’t happened.

The main group from a Gasoline Station along Macapagal Blvd., in Pasay City headed their way to Cavite at around 6:15am to be met by contingent from Cavite. After a brief rundown and inspections of motorcycles they proceed to their destination. A Red Ribbon was attached to the Volunteer Motorcycles for easy identifications. The group traversed along Aguinaldo Highway then left to Governors Drive to meet the contingents from Laguna headed by PSRC-Laguna in Bi?an, Laguna.

In a gasoline station, Volunteers from Laguna were already together with the jeep loaded of relief goods driven by Tatay Totoy, Father of COE Sir Alvin who is overseas. there waiting for the Volunteers from Manila .

The Volunteers headed to Elementary School of Bi?an. A miscommunication happened when one rider volunteered to spearhead the group, instead of going to the above mentioned school he went to Brgy. De La Paz. A commotion almost happened when the residents of this barangay learned that the jeep is loaded with relief goods and they are asking for relief goods. We can’t blame these people for there were not receiving any assistance. The said school was chosen to prevent such thing to happen.

At Bi?an Elementary School, some members of PSRC-Laguna were already there to prepare hot water for coffee and breads for the Volunteers. They also donated 50 packs of relief goods.

The relief goods were distributed without any untoward incidents. Because the school was also a relocation area, we have to cordon the area to have proper distribution. Fortunately, the supposed first 100 and 50 from PSRC, and the extra packs of relief goods able to sustain the number of families that needs to receive the donations.

Oranges and apples were also distributed to the children.

To the Volunteers of RFAC, to the Donors and Supporters, especially to Ms. Danica Salazar and the people of Spain who extend their help, Thank You is not enough, may you receive folds for your good deeds.

God Bless Us All.

Ride For A Cause (RFAC) is like a virus that continuous to spread among the motorcycling community. From its humble beginning and a tag line of You Ride and Help, the initial 40 Riders from its inaugural ride 18 months ago, the once a month Ride, number of Volunteer Riders continuous to increase every time there’s a RFAC Ride.

It just concluded its 18th Ride and the 6th for Season Two last October 18, 2009. The recipient was Galilee, Home for Spiritually wounded individual in Doña Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan.

The once a month Ride cannot be stopped by any reason. Despite the country was visited and devastated by typhoons, specially the Northern and Central Luzon, these kind hearted Volunteers continuous their mission. Volunteers are eagerly waiting if this Ride will push trough because another typhoon is entering Philippines, fortunately it was in the ocean. Reminiscing, no RFAC Ride met any heavy downpour.

Galilee was revisited because it asked for assistance, since they are relying only from the donations and no support from the Government. It was learned that the Priest who head the institution was outside the country and needs medical attention, it was left to the care of the staff.

Volunteer Riders from Bulacan was tasked to do the coordination with Galilee for this mission.

At the MCP forum, volunteers are excited to be part of this undertaking. Even though that RFAC was busy doing relief operation, this once a month mission ride cannot be taken for granted.

Assembly point was pinpointed, unfortunately, there was an International Marathon Event scheduled on the same day. The Quezon Memorial Circle, the supposed assembly point was closed to vehicular traffic same with portion of Commonwealth Avenue.

The supposed 6:00AM take off was not followed because the Volunteers had to find ways to be at the assembly point. With modern communication such as SMS, the group decided to transfer location along Commonwealth Avenue. From this, Volunteers started arriving individually or by groups. These volunteers had to inch their way from the traffic caused by the Marathon Event to be at the next stop at a Gasoline station somewhere in Fairview.

Ride Officials started to bring together the volunteers for the pre ride meeting and Prayer.

As the Ride proceeded, the safety hand and foot signals can be seen from the Riders. They have to tackle different kind of road conditions, from well paved, asphalted, potholes, road construction and even land slides along the route, until the group reached their destination.

Due to the delay, the supposed Mass for the Riders was not held because the Priest has a prior commitment and no time to wait for the Riders. Only Volunteers from Bulacan who was there earlier had their motorcycle blessed.

A program was prepared by the Staff of the Galilee. The Volunteers was given a brief introduction of what this institution was all about. Three of their Residents shared the reason why they are in Galilee. With varied reasons and ages, from 53 years old to the youngest at 14, the Volunteers learned on how these residents changed their life and outlook in life inside the institution.

A Certificate of Appreciation was awarded by Galilee to RFAC.

A light moment happened, a raffle draw was made and the price was a T-shirt from Galilee. Congratulations to the winners.

COE’s was introduced to the Volunteers. Past tasks of RFAC were echoed to the Volunteers, future plans were lay-out.

The Mission ended by asking the Volunteers what are their plans. Others left for their return home, others have their side trip. Some had a picnic along the river bank.

We would like to extend our gratitude to All Volunteers, Donors and Supporters for another successful edition of RFAC – Naka Ride Ka Na Nakatulong Ka Pa.

See you All in next RFAC Ride

Happy and Safe Ride

God Bless Us All

October 1, 2009 was the start of the month and also a start of another bonding moment with a new found friend of RFAC, they are the people of RRVA or the Roman Recto Vendors Association of Divisoria, Manila headed by Sir On On.

Sir On On or Marvin Chuan in real life, a MCP Member donated foods such as Hopia, bread and various clothings. Volunteers repacked these together with other donations from RFAC Volunteers. To name a few, they are Anne2dmax, Gucci, Sir Pong and Wife, Karlyanic, Pogi and Wife, Trigger and Irisiantayag.

The set take off time at 6:00 pm was moved to 7:00 pm to wait for RRVA that are joining the Mission Ride. To our surprised, they have a L300 van full of relief goods and a group of motorcycle riding men. Included in the packages are foods, clothing for adults and kids. Fortunately, we were able to load to this van the packages from RFAC. After loading the packages, a tricycle arrived with bottled water of 500ml each numbering to hundreds, and it was donated by former Baraggay Captain, Father-in-Law of Irisiantayag.

The convoy Spearhead by Sir Pogikasmut, took the Katipunan Avenue via, N.S. Amoranto, right to G. Araneta, left to Quezon Avenue all the way to Commonwealth Avenue right to C.P. Garcia Avenue and right to Katipunan, and to our destination.

Due to the congestion of traffic at the intersection of C5 and Ortigas Ext., some Riders missed the turn, and time was consumed waiting for them to join the pack.

Residence of Brgy San Roque, Cainta Rizal was the recipient of the relief goods. The Volunteer Riders controlled the crowd and maintain order in the line. These people leaves near the river bank which over flowed during the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy.

After the residences received their shares, and there are more left in the van, we transferred to another location for other residence received their relief goods.

You can see from their smiles their appreciation from this simple deed of Volunteers and RRVA. You can hear every where the word Thank You.

To All the Volunteers who are with us in this Mission Ride and to RRVA, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for bringing smiles to typhoon victims.

To the Donors, most importantly, without your unwavering support this undertaking would not be possible.

Maraming Salamat PO!

September 20, 2009 was the most awaited date for RFAC Volunteers.   This ride was the 17th for enthusiastic Riders and the 5th for Season 2.

General Trias was the place of destination named after Filipino revolutionists Mariano Trias together with Diego Mojica and Nicolas Portilla in staging the uprising of the “First Cry of Cavite” in the morning of  August 31, 1896.

The beneficiaries are the Children of Bukid Kabataan.  This orphanage was established in 1989.  It used to be under the auspices of Caritas Manila and because of financial difficulties it was left after the care of Good Sheperd Sisters to continue the care for the children.

The Staff Consist of Sister Lilian, Marilou, Gemma, two Housemothers, a cook, a driver, Administrator and farmers.

Their main missions are the Sagip Moral in helping the street children and for the Marian residence who are abused and prostitutes.  Psychological healing, physical development, social interaction and after care are some of their undertakings to help these children.

They have an elementary school inside the compound in multi level curriculum. They have three teachers who handle Grade 1 & 2, Grade 3 & 4 and Grade 5 & 6.

They sustain the maintenance of the Center through the donations from Good Samaritans and they don’t have any support from the government.

In the morning of September 20, 2009 at the assembly point in Macapagal Avenue, one after the other individually or in groups started to converged. As the break of dawn, the throng were almost complete and the set time of arrival was fast approaching, a short run down of the basic safety rules was echoed to the riders. A Prayer was said and asked for guidance for safe riding.

With a long train of Riders traverses the route from Macapagal to Ninoy Aquino Avenue to C5 Extension to Pulang Lupa, Las Pinas to Aguinaldo Highway that gave the Riders difficulties because of pot holes along the stretch, Governors Drive and to the Destination.  Group of Riders from Cavite and nearby places hooked-up with the main group along Aguinaldo Highway.

AT the Centre, the group were warmly welcomed by the Staff and the Children.  Donations were given one after the other.  As planned, the Riders were given a pandesal and hot coffee but because of it huge numbers, hot water was exhausted and other have to wait.

We were given a briefing or backgrounder about the Bukid Kabataan.  The Children had prepared a dance number. The Girls was first to perform a modern dance followed by the Boys doing a hip hop number.  What touches our heart most was the song rendered by the Children.  It was written by a Nun from the words of children, from their experiences, from the hardship they are undergone, from their loneliness. The message of the song was that they saw hope and the silver lining in the centre.

A light moment was happened when some of the Volunteers doesn’t want to be outshined by performance of the Children, three of the Volunteers and members of COY’s danced that brings laughter to the children and the volunteers.  A couple of New-Volunteers also joined the fun by dancing.

Sister Lilian extended their gratitude and appreciations from the donation they have received from the Riders.
Before leaving the place, a pre departure meeting was held. Since there are various clubs who joined the Ride, by groups or by individual proceeded to their destinations.

With the same passion in motorcycling and willingness to help the needy, there was no barrier to be a hindrance for this good deed.  A group of Riders from another Forum of motorcycling joined and helped. We would like to welcome you all.  In this Ride there was a huge numbers of New-V’s or New Volunteers, they are the J2Cab of Quezon City, District 1 Riders Club of Manila, Madass Club Phils and X-5 to name a few.

With this, we had established a new record and break the magic number of 200 Riders. As of this writing there are 204 Riders in the list.

Thank You All Riders, Donors and Supporters…

God Bless Us All

Happy and Safe Ride.

See you in Bulacan for R6S2

RFAC 4 Season 2

RFAC invades City of Angels or City of Angeles, Pampanga last August 23, 2009.

Duyan ni Maria Childrens Home in Mabalanias, Angeles City was the chosen beneficiary. The place houses abandoned children.

This place was visited by Sir Speedmaniac, one of the RFAC Council of Elders (COE’s) a name coined by some volunteers from a simple joke and even went there twice to survey the best possible route to be used by the Riders. Since there are road construction along Mc Arthur Highway in Pampanga, COE’s Ride Officials Sir Pogikazzmut (Spearhead) and Sir Blacknaz (Sweeper) chooses the Mexico, Pampanga Route, with a well paved road, though it’s a flat and straight road, the Riders was treated with natures best, a rice paddies along the road and a view of Mt. Arayat.

The once a month RFAC Ride, number of Volunteer Riders increases in numbers, this time we almost hit the 200 mark, the biggest number of Riders. From Clubs to individuals who are willing to extend their time and wealth to less privilege children. Thank You All
The assembly point was in a gasoline station in Valenzuela City, the group numbering around 65 Riders departs around 5:45am. As the train traverses the route, additional Riders joined the train, from Bulacan to Pampanga from Groups to individuals, thanks to the Marshalls. Some stops due to mechanical trouble occurred such as flat tires and worst a loosen bolts of valve tappet cover.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Sir Natt of JET Riders Club of Pampanga and its members numbering about 20, for being the Marshalls of the train when we arrived in San Fernando, Pampanga. They lead and guide our way to our destination and to our lunch venue, a cheap 100.00 pesos per head, eat all you can. Again, Thank You JET Riders of Pampanga.

While at the Duyan ni Maria, flicks of camera flash bulbs come from different directions. One Rider even climbed the roof to have a good angle.
To All Volunteers, individuals or Groups and Donors, though we cannot name you one by one, you know who you are. RFAC will not be a success without you help. We will continue our humble mission as long as we can and thru your support.

With the effort of COE’s such as Sir Lance, Sir Papabert16, Sir Extremevelocity, Sir Kaloi our Photographer (absent in this Ride), Sir Dennon who is physically absent (OFW) but has been supporting RFAC from the start we hope and pray to continue this undertakings. To other Ride Officials, many thanks for being there.

To ALL Volunteers, be ready and prepare you iron horses for R5S2 and enjoy the long and hilly road of Gen Trias, Cavite our next destination.
