Sunday Ride: Revisiting Kwebang Lampas

NOS revisit Kwebang Lampas, Volcano Island, Pagbilao, Quezon last February 19th, 2012. This time the more the merrier from a previous Team Cinco or The Five. Started at Shell J. Vargas, C5 around 3:00 am with a headcount of 33 consisting of 25 bikes and 1 van. It was a day everyone expected to be a rainy day, somehow encountered a little to mild in the morning and a normal to bike heavy rain in the evening.






This is the Route Plan.

This is the Shaman's track. 









It was around 4:00 am when NOS reached Calamba City to meetup with the Shaman. Two riders decided to opt out due to a flat-tire. The journey continued on and later stopped at San Pablo City for a quick break to join up with the cage (4 wheeled vehicle). Everyone had a quick breakfast and chatter.

We then traversed the road to continue the journey in complete darkness, there are little to no-street lights in between towns, danger is around every corner. The convoy is cruising at 50kph to 80kph in safe distances. It was to our surprise to encounter a tragic mishap of two people and a crumpled bike in the middle of the road in between the Provincial Highway of Tiaong, Quezon and San Pablo City. Authorities is at the scene, it seems that the two people is not wearing helmet and had been caught in an  accident, possible victim of Hit-and-Run. It was later we found out at the fish port in Lucena that an alleged car run over the riders in tandem and was left for dead. That is why we take safety seriously.

Safety First

As we navigate thru the empty roads of Quezon, daybreak is around the corner and continued to cruise and took the diversion road of Tiaong, Quezon and head out to Lucena City for a gas stop and a quick visit to Dalahican Fish Port for freshly caught fish.

The rest of the NOS take refuge for rest and gas at Total Gas Station and the others at Petron while 4 bikes heads off-course to hit the Fish Port.

Happy Thoughts and Happy Faces

No longer a property of Lukang Family it is confirmed and mentioned
on the tarp, Pagbilao Development Corporation.

 The gate and no gate-keeper. On a side note, from my previous post regarding Kwebang Lampas. Formerly owned by Lukang Family and care-taker Aling Divina no longer incharge. The new owners allows overnight stay by camping. Targets to re-open on April with new facilities and still has a pending court proceedings as mentioned by the new care-taker.

mikey's quick stop

Finally after some short hike and boating, we arrived at the cove and brought some smile to our comrades.

Calm Sea and wind

Arriving at your destination is half the fun, at this moment it's relaxation time.

The Criscinco Show

The way home is more challenging, Rain started, Night fall and no Gas Station. We missed a few stations from Pagbilao to Tayabas road. We had an emty tank, and gas was siphoned from another tank with a lot of gas. Heavy rain was encountered around Tayabas and Lucban area, rain gear was on, backriders are in the cage.

A short stop at a favorite Dory's Bibingka for a quick bite before heading out to Pagsanjan.

Happy Faces

2 Shops in the area were sold out.

Pagsanjan Laguna is the break off point for the Shaman's way home and the main convoy. Two more riders tagged along on their way home to Paranaque and Sucat. This time it is not a solo-ride home.


Touched down at around 8:00 pm at Calamba City. While the rest of NOS is cruising Tanay Rizal, in darkness and rain and two take SLEX Service road.

See the Complete album here.

The Shaman's total distance covered at 242.73 kms. with an elapse time of 15:19:48. This is a short ride, a day ride and a Sunday ride. Since KL(Kwebang Lampas) is now allowing overnighters, a day is not enough to enjoy the place. The hardship of this trip is worth every smile for the beauty of the place. This is a ride, the destination is only the climax.
