Have bike. Will ride. - Cycling thru the sites of Liloan, Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City and Cordova

At the Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Lapu-Lapu City Cebu

Together with some former iComm comrades Jipooh Obial and Paul Mangawang, we decided to spend our Saturday cycling to round up the best sites in Liloan, Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City and Cordova Cebu. 

Amidst the scorching summer sun, we whizzed through town and experienced the sights and sounds in this side of Cebu and despite the loads of body aches and obstacles on the road, we got a bargain for a treat as we made various pit stops on the nice sites and eats in town (Pocherohan sa Lapu-Lapu City hall, Sutukil restos, Botongan and Bakasi restos sa Cordova and last and certainly not the least, the Lapu-Lapu Shrine.

After seeing all of this (not to mention pedalling with our stomachs full) you guessed it right. The ride home felt more heavier with each stride as we got through the circumferential road

but nonetheless we've managed to survive to tell the tale.

Paul used his new Diamond Back Mtb, I my SGM Intensity and Jipooh used his Peerless Folding Bike for this long ride. 

A pit stop at the Marcelo Fernan Bridge. 

  

Have your feast on fresh seafoods at the Sutukil Restaurant near the Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Lapu-Lapu City Cebu.

A Visit to the Shrine of the Blessed Virgen dela Regla, Lapu- Lapu City

 

November 18, 2012 - In celebration of her birthday and to pay homage to the upcoming festivities of the Blessed Virgen dela Regla, me and Chilly figured it best to visit the shrine at twilight so we could avoid the mass traffic of people who will be going to the shrine by way of ferry from Cebu port. 

Going to Lapu- Lapu City by land at this time (especially nearing their fiesta) is certainly not recommended as one will only be met by bumper traffic jam at the bridge and of course a load-full of headache.

On our way, the weather was cooperative and the sea was smooth. We got to the Island in roughly 30 minutes and proceeded right to the church to attend mass and pay our respects to the Blessed Virgin.

After one waaay long line and push- throughs with the faithful crowd, we finally got our chance to witness the mother of our faith in glory and it sure was a very rewarding experience to have witnessed another testament that makes up the Filipino spirit.

Below is a Youtube slideshow of our pics taken from the trip. Enjoy!
