@franzpaulie and I am a cyclist. This time I will be sharing to you one of my favorite bike trails, captured photos of beautiful places in Palinpinon route.
Valencia is popular for its waterfalls and sulfur vents. There are many attractions in this route. This town is a perfect side-trip if you are traveling Dumaguete City, the capital of Negros Oriental. And if you are a cyclist like me, the attractions are surefire you'll never get bored of cycling no matter how many times you been doing it, the experience would be new every time.
Who would not love that scenic river along as you pedal? One of the reasons why I prefer cycling alone; I could enjoy the nature, take a pause,sometimes I do stone balancing or grounding my feet in the water. Nothing to be concern of. I also enjoy group rides but cycling solo make more sennse to me.
The presence of monkeys and lizards in this side of the river attracts people to drop by. This has been maintain by the tourism gov and locals are incharge to keep watch for its safety.
Bananas for monkeys or bananas for monkey me?馃槃
I used to drop by here and grab bananas and for water refill.You would not find it easy in cycling this route for it's continual ascend and steeper so brutal that you will need more energy to succeed,for me, banana is the key!馃槂 Thanks to these locals who are selling fresh fruits. For other purposes,since it's inevitable for most people to keep their hands off from throwing foods to wild animals, they are recommending bananas instead of harmful junkfoods.
Brace yourself! One of cyclists favorite moment is descending! I just did and this view so welcoming...It feels like home and accomplished reaching this spot every time.Like a voice within, "keep going, you can't give up,paradise awaits for you" This keeps me accomplish my training objectives. I'm so in love with the nature.By the way, the orange marker indicates two mini waterfalls.
Who's loving it? I do馃槏
I took a momment to mesmerize here, nothing unsual as per normal. standing below where water dropped my back. so refreshing, something you would not understand nor appreciate unless you try it yourself.
The Sulfur Vents.
This is 3 minute ride from the mini waterfalls.
I could have took more photos but my hands and legs were already shaking. Tha was two hours of brutal cycling but the views are rewarding.I should also mention that there is a cafe near here were you can relax if you are riding or if you are visiting this place,people are very friendly and accomodating.Feel so safe.
Hurried back home.I still have 7 classes to attend to. Cycling is just one of the things I enjoy doing to keep my body fit and trim.

That's all about my ride for the moment. Thanks for reading and checking out my rides. Till next time.
