They particularly like the Montalban-San Mateo area. My only complain is that sometimes they take very long stops. But the + is you'll make lots of friends among them. Nice pics Ray. Seems you're really enjoying your mtb. Report to moderator Logged *** The older you get, the better you used to be. ***
