As mentioned on our first blog, Bien is a cfmoto vnight bike. It's been just a month ago when we purchased it. Bien is still in its break in state so we opted to travel near yet made it sure that it will be fun and exciting destination.

We start our day attending mass and feel blessed. And then we proceed to our first ride destination. We choose Ipo Dam as our first. It is near plus I used to go there when I was a highschooler.

On our way up, green scenery amazed us plus we were accompanied by cool breeze bought by the trees on the roadside. We felt like we were travelling Baguio's Kenon road with less cliffs. And the road is smooth making our ride more stable and cool.

We entered Ipo Dam reservoir thru my highschool classmate Rodolfo Pascual, a resident in the vicinity.

Ipo Dam is a restricted area so you won't be able to enter the place without consent. It is located in San Mateo, Norzagaray Bulacan. It siphons the water from the Angat River direct to La Mesa Dam and ends at Balara filtration Plant in Quezon City.

Not that a breath taking view inside the vicinity but it is still a peaceful and fresh scenery to visit once in a while. Green and quiet.

I must commend Bien's backrider part. It was a bit high giving me a perfect view of the scenes and scenery along the way. And also our driver. philipkun is careful and carefree at the same time. He drives safely without killing the fun and excitement. I guess it is because the bike is easy to carry and stable to drive. I like most is the benking benking of the bike on the curbside. Overall it is a nice exciting stable and fun first ride together.

My classmate also suggested us to go to Bitbit river because it is also near the area. Yes! There's more bucolic places here in Bulacan to go to. But unfortunately, it is getting hot and it's passed lunch time already so we decided to go back. Next time we will start our ride earlier.

So I guess this is all for now. We will update and share with you our experiences on our future rides.
