    Planning to have an outing at talisay.. Going down, I plan on passing through Ligaya Drive and going up, I plan on passing through tagaytay-talisay road. I'm curious as to the road conditions (if any parts are being repaired, is it pothole ridden, etc). Anybody passed through it recently?

    Thanks!

    Havent passed there lately but it is concrete and usually in good condition. However, if you're heading to Talisay, why not take SLEX - STAR toll - Sambat (Tanauan) exit?

    Well actually just for the view and experience of driving sa zigzag pababa. I love taking scenic routes going places. Pero syempre safety comes first so kapag sobrang pangit road conditions doon then I'd rather take yung STAR tollway route. Thanks for the input!

    Haven't driven on that stretch of road for some time.... And yes, one surreal driving experience...

    Don't forget to bring cooler box for your maliputo and tawilis.....

    Last Saturday night, while raining, I passed by from Lemery-Agoncillo to Talisay-Tagaytay Rotonda. What an experience! Walang binatbat yung Kennon Road.

    This road is one of the most desirable road for drivers who wants adventure, but one of the most complicated. The twists and turns are not for the beginners.

    Some less complicated are Kennon Road, Marcos Highway, Halsema Highway in Mt. Province and Benguet area, Bitukang Manok in Atimonan, Dalton Pass in Nueva Viscaya, Tanay in Rizal, and portion of the road in Samploc in Quezon.

    One of the best twisted roads I had encounted is in Benguet- from Tublay (after La Trinidad) going to the municipality of Kibungan, Benguet, around 50kms and 2 hour drive.

    I just came from that area last week. Drove from sagada to Baguio. Grabe nagsawa ako sa twisties. The following day, sobrang na miss ko naman ang Flat roads kasi dyan sa puro kurba, 2nd to 3rd gear lang ako. Takbong 30kph lang para safe puro blind curve.

    Bro- If that's almost 2 hours of twists and turns (meaning you have to turn your steering wheel every five to seven seconds), then that "arguably beats" the mountain road from Pagsanjan>Cavinti>Majayjay>Luisiana>Lucban which keeps you busy for barely over an hour,- with a bonus,- a chance encounter with the "mga poging tao" na may bitbit na mahaba....

    Tama ka, bro. 2 oras na bundok, puno, ahon, lusong.

    Idagdag pa pala ang Ternate- Nasugbu area ( masarap pag praktisan ng mga beginners) at Pantabangan road going to Baler.

    Agree with the Ternate-Nasugbu road,- bonus pa na scenic at maluwag ang kalye roon,- plus the Kaybiang Tunnel.

    Sarap mo naman,- I have not been to LaTrinidad-Kibungan and the Pantabangan-Baler...

    One of these days... One of these days... Pangtanggal ng pressure/stress....hehehe....

    Di ko pa nasubukan yan, although sabi nga nung driver ko, sarap daw dumaan dyan.

    From Lagawe, dyan sila dumaan papunta ng Baguio two weeks ago.

    That's the road from Baguio to Mt. Pulag, also the typical route of people from region 2 headed to Baguio.

    Para maiba naman Maganda pang long road trip drive iyong from calapan, oriental mindoro to roxas, oriental mindoro. Iyong stretch ng nautical highway na iyan ang so far medyo focused bare knuckle driving na experience ko especially sa gabi at madaling araw

    May mga long straightaways tapos may mix ng winding mountain roads
