here is the letter from enald tan

to everybody who wants to join our mayon ride,

as i have said on my previous email.., i already reserved 2 buses for this trip. now, i need a confirmation from everybody who will join. just to let you all know.., i already made a deposit to the bus company as we are going to charter this trip. so, i am thinking on setting a deadline para hindi naman kawawa ako and the bus company kung hindi matuloy ang iba. i will need for everybody joining to deposit on my account P1,900.00 for the bus fare roudtrip naga-manila- naga and i will set FRIDAY the 13th of June as the deadline. this way, i will know for sure who will join us para maka adjust din ako with the bus company if ever 1,2 or 3 bus ang kailangan. i am sorry but there will be no refund.., because this is also my agreement with the bus company. just in case you already paid and there's some emergency that you can't make it.., you can just give your seat to somebody else and let them just pay you.

account name : REGINALD I. TAN
BDO account number: 0730029522 branch > Naga-General Luna St.

as for the hotel, same din. i need for everybody who will join to please tell me which hotel they like to stay.
a.) avenue plaza hotel - 5 star hotel. more or less P3,000.00 with breakfast saturday morning
b.) villa caceres hotel - 3 star hotel. more or less P1,800.00 NO breakfast

i reserved 10 rooms each with double (2) single beds on each room.

me and alvin will take care of our saturday night dinner and sunday lunch at mayon summit.., kami na bahala dyan - libre na namin yan.

if there's anything you guys want to suggest., pls feel free to email me.

thanks. ride safe,
enald tan

Alvin,
How many cyclists usually go out on your Sunday rides?

Did you test ride your LW already? Enald might add LW to his choices of
his next wheelset purchase. Tell him Lew na lang. Grin
