The first leg for the 2013 Ride of Hope was safely concluded early this afternoon. It covered a little over 48kms and took about three hours.

We have a little under 12 hours in preparation for the second leg, which is meant to raise funds for the benefit of the people affected by the Bohol Earthquake as well as the historic typhoon "Yolanda" (Haiyan).

The ascent to Tagaytay is always the hardest part, followed by the drab plains of Imus in Cavite where we will be passing on our way back. But we need to remember why we will be riding tomorrow, and that is because of the people affected by this:

Your pledges will go a long way to restoring the lives of these people. Proceeds and pledges of the Second Leg will be coursed through the Ayala Foundation.
