The highway travels through the provinces of: Rizal, Bulacan, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Pampanga, and the Mountain Province. #ikotbaguio Music: Epidemic Sound

Bicycling up to Mt Sinai in San Mateo, Rizal is approx 40 Kilometers round-trip from SM Masinag. Although this place is so near my home, it is my first time to visit the place. Enjoy the ride and the views! #bicyclingtomtsinai #10commandments #mitchtour Music by Epidemic

EDSA Blvd is the Longest Highway in Metro-Manila surrounding six cities. It is 24 Kilometers one way from MONUMENTO to MALL OF ASIA. If you bicycle the entire route from end to end, round trip, the distance will be a minimum* of 48 Kilometers. My trip ended up 73 Kilometers in 4:22:00 moving time. Whew! *minimum: You will need to add your distance to and from the starting point along EDSA. In PASAY CITY: I made a big detour mistake because of confusion at a seemingly dead end, and trusting the wrong directions from some other bikers, so I entitled this feature: Dysfunctional* EDSA LOOP. Because I lived near EDSA in from 1996 to 2000, I have MANY STORIES to tell. My EDSA LOOP is more like a personal "tour guide style" of many of my memorable stories. There is A LOT of narration, but you will recognize the scenes. For those who have not been to Metro-Manila in many years, will notice the MASSIVE changes made.

MARCH 2021—On my 57th Birthday, I decided to break my personal record by bicycling 276 kilometers in 23 hours. I did it! The route took me from Masinag, Antipolo City to Tarlac - roundtrip. My previous record was 225 kilometers in 2019 while bicycling across the USA. #mitchtour #bikingtotarlac #bicycledistancerecord Music by: Epidemic Sound

Bicycling from Metro-Manila to Sierra Madre's Highest Point on the National Highway is a MUST DO TRIP if you are a biker from this area. Enjoy my "Tour Guide" style ride in this production. By default, it is a trip that any bicyclist from NCR Region or Metro-Manila needs to have under their belt. I always start this trip from SM Masinag and turn around at Cafe Katerina, after enjoying the view, eating, and returning. To make it an Official Sierra Madre LOOP, you need to keep riding down the other side towards Sampaloc and come back through Antipolo - that would be closer to 130 KMS. #mitchtour #sierramadreroundtrip #tanaybicycling Music by: Epidemic

Very simple exercise on how to break-in (bed/bedding) your new bicycle brake rotors and/or brake pads/shoes after changing them. 8-10 @ slow speed - rear, then front 8-10 Faster - rear, then front 1 good downhill - rear, then front

The INFANTA, REAL, QUEZON PROVINCE LOOP, when started and finished at SM MASINAG is 222 Kilometers long. I when clockwise via Cogeo, Sierra Madre, Sta Maria Laguna, and Jariel's Peak, followed by turning right at the Infanta Corner. Camping over night in Real, Quezon, I returned back the next day to SM Masinag via Famy, Morong, Teresa, Antipolo, and Sumulong Hwy. I did it in two days, but it could be done in one mega-day if you are highly motivated, travel light, and have good weather, and recover quickly from the 3,797 Meters of Elevation Gain! Nearly 75% of my video files were accidently deleted so I had to be super creative and resourceful with only 25% of my footage remaining. Enjoy! #mitchtour #infantaloop #infantaquezonride Music by: Epidemic Sound

BICYCLING the National Capital Region LOOP (Entire Circumference of Metro-Manila), is a popular long-day ride for many bicyclists. The route is 123 Kilometers (76 miles) long. It took me 13 hours with 7 of those being moving time. I departed at 0345 AM and arrived the next day at 4:45 PM — PERFECT! The video is both entertaining and designed as a tutorial and reference for others that want to complete the NCR Loop. I noted the intersections, right & left turns, and showed maps along the way for your assistance. You can also refer to my STRAVA account (Mitch Metzger) for further mapping and details.

BICYCLING from MORONG to Gabriel's Sanctuary to MASINAG to MORONG — 3 Day Adventure Last November 2020, I had to drive a group from our Training Center in Antipolo, Rizal to Morong, Rizal for their outreach teaching in a orphanage.

On the next day, I made the 30 kilometer trip back to Morong to pick up the team and drive them home with my mini-bus. #langitbus #helpinternational #gabrielssanctuary #mitchtour Music by: Epidemic Sound

The first time I did a intentional Metric CENTURY RIDE (100kms) in January, the rain destroyed my plans so I quit early and went home after 53KMS. This is considered my Metro-Manila Metric CENTURY RIDE TAKE 2! I started in SM Masinag, through Marikina, to San Mateo's Timberland. From Timberland, I headed to WaWa Dam and back through Montalban and over to Payatas coming out on Commonwealth. I then went to Quezon Circle, UP Diliman, and came out at Katipunan's SM Marikina. I continued to Libis-Eastwood, Ortigas Extension passing Valley Golf all the way up to Antipolo, and returning on Sumulong Highway to Masinag. My Finish Line (100Kms) was in the parking lot of 7/11 beside SM Cherry. The trip took nearly seven (7) hours riding time. #mitchtour #metriccenturyride #metriccenturyridebike Music by: Epidemic January 2021

Every Christmas, I like to make a special bicycle trip. This year, I bicycled over 451 Kilometers from Antipolo to Olongapo to Mariveles to Balanga and back to Antipolo in FOUR RIDING DAYS and one "off day" in Olongapo City. This is Part 2 of 5 of the BATAAN LOOP Christmas Series featuring a ride-around tour of many of my old housing locations, famous landmarks, Magsaysay Blvd and Gordon Ave tours, including some famous stories of our missionary work in the 90's. #bataanloop #mitchtour #biketouringphilippines Music by: Epidemic Produced: December 2020

CROSSING IDAHO BY BICYCLE a MVlog by Mitch Metzger "Exciting!" "Inspiring!" "Entertaining!" 7 Days — 287 Miles Idaho was the 2nd of 10 States in which Mitch Metzger bicycled across during his 4,230 Mile, Trans America Bicycle Tour last 2019. "If one word can describe Idaho, it would be — rivers. The rivers of Idaho played a very significant role in plotting the 287 mile course, that meandered through the State. If you are not following a river going up, you are following a river going down." Mitch Metzger Youtube version: https://youtu.be/BxoU8buqAlw SUBSCRIBE Music: Epidemic Sound

Mitch Metzger "The production serves as a pre-route, prep-resource, for all future Trans America Bicyle Tour and/or TABR participants." Mitch Metzger All 35 music tracks by: Epidemic Sound

VESUVIUS: The HARDEST CLIMB of the Trans America Bicycle Trail/Tour/Race --a training video by Mitch Metzger Vesuvius is a Category 2 UCI rated climb. It is a classic Appalachian climb. It is steep, low traffic, and forested. Steepest at the bottom, last km flattens out. It finishes at the Blue Ridge Parkway near Montebello. The Vesuvius is situated in Virginia. This climb belongs to the Appalachian Mountains. The Vesuvius is ranked number 21 of the Appalachian Mountains. Starting from Vesuvius, Virginia, the Vesuvius ascent is 5.6 km long. Over this distance, you climb 473 meters (1,551 feet). The average percentage thus is 8.4 %. The maximum slope is 24. The height at the top is 908 meters (2,979 feet). I made this climb on Day 78 of my 81 Day Trans America Bicycle Tour last July 2019. Correction: There was 13 total breaks not 12. The purpose of this video is not really for entertainment purposes but for briefing/preparing future riders that plan to make this trip. There was very little editing and all footage is in real time. The video and the climb is nearly one hour long. MITCH METZGER'S TRANS AM BLOG: mitchtour.com Music: ES_Bicycle Built For Two by Traditional Epidemic subscription since 2017
