Exploring Little Baguio Bike Trail

AUGUST 20 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 | VOL 34 NO 16 THE PULSE OF THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY SINCE 1987 EXPLORING LITTLE BAGUIO BIKE TRAIL

Members of the Filipino Amateur Mountain Bikers (FAMB) taking a break as they ride through biking trails at Birds Hill Provincial Park. Nestled among the forests and hiking trails found throughout the park, "Little Baguio" is a tree lined gravel pit where FAMB members have come together for a common passion. Over 40 mountain bikers were out at Birds Hill last week enjoying the outdoors, camaraderie and thrill of biking, especially for newbies. The trail is not officially on any provincial park map and the biking group have aptly nicknamed the area after Bagiuo, a city in the mountinous Northern Luzon region of the Philippines. On any given day (or night), members of FAMB are taking to the bike trails all across Manitoba. Follow and join their Facebook group for all upcoming rides.
