For my first ride on my newly-acquired 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan, my friend Martin aka duro.moto takes me and our friend EJ along on an epic loop around Taal Lake that has everything: relaxed provincial roads shaded by trees, epic views of mountains and water, and even an adrenaline-pumping section of twisties. Total mileage door to door was almost 280kms from 5:20am to 3:00pm.
