Riding a motorcycle up the winding roads to Sitio Agal in San Mariano with my girlfriend and cousin was easily one of the most beautiful—and freezing—adventures we’ve had in a long time. The moment we got up there, the panoramic mountain views absolutely blew us away; it was just endless green hills and open sky, completely living up to the hype. The only catch was the intense upland chill. Cruising on the bikes definitely amplified the wind, and by the time we stopped to soak in the stunning scenery, we were all shivering but completely incapable of putting our cameras down. It was one of those perfect, breezy road trips where the view makes you completely forget how numb your fingers are, and it definitely reminded us why escaping into the Sierra Madre mountains is always worth the ride.
