Overdue: October 2004 bikeout - Banawe-Sagada-Besao

These pictures are waaay late. They were taken on an exhausting bikeout from Banaue to Sagada last October 2004. We were blessed with great weather, left Banaue around 11am and reached Sagada in time for dinner.

The following day we split into two groups - Levi, Winston, Miles, Rebo, and Jay biked back to Banaue, while Claire, Janet, Noelle and myself met up with Jing and did the Sagada tourist thing, then biked onwards to Besao.

More pictures if you click the link at the end of this post.

Crepuscular Rays

Also called sunbeams, god light, buddha lights. These are lines of light that sometimes radiate across the sky from the sun hidden behind a cloud, often at twilight. The church steeple in the foreground is the Sacred Heart Parish in QC.
