The Sabluyon route is a good introductory ride near Legazpi City. The trail takes you on an 80km tour around the base of Mt. Mayon,with an optional,but steep,detour to the Mayon Rest House where you can spend the night if you want to take a break. The entire route is on paved road and,if you omit the Mt. Mayon detour,the conditions are generally easy. It is a good introduction to the terrain without massive exertion and,of course,you will have an eyeful of Mt. Mayon from all angles. The Mayon Rest House trip includes a very steep 9km uphill section,but the road is good and the spectacular views from the top make it well worth the effort. Take care while making your way down,watching out especially for reckless speeding vehicles on the roads.
