The Pinoy Rider

Hey guys this double cover issue of Inside Racing Magazine is still available. Please grab a copy to read about my 1247 km SOLO Visayas Epic Ride adventure on a 100cc underbone!

I am so happy that finally the ride that started it all is now documented in Inside Racing.

Reminds me of so many things, of all the rides I’ve been through, the first time is still the sweetest.

And I miss that bike too.

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse of Burgos

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Pinoy Rider

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, also known as Burgos Lighthouse, is a cultural heritage structure in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, that was established during the Spanish Colonial period in the Philippines. It was first lit on March 30, 1892, and is set high on Vigia de Nagpartian Hill overlooking the scenic Cape Bojeador where early galleons used to sail by.
