What is the best route to Tagaytay?

[scharnhorst]

*sir moejun
Yes po.. Thank you sir.. I will post here asap as soon as I get the reply from my classmate..

*sir scharnhorst
Wow.. Hehe galing pala kayo ng Tagaytay sir .. I see, so mga 90kms+ siguro from our place.. Kamusta naman po sa Sta. Rosa exit? Matraffic po ba papuntang Tagaytay?

*Chikselog: yep! kakaadik yung bulalo at yung mushroomburger

On a normal day, medyo matraffic yung from sta. rosa exit to the large intersection (laguna avenue ata yun.) tapos from there, ang kalaban nyo nalang e mga slow moving vehicles na paakyat dun sa national highway... usually jeep or truck

kanina kasi walang mga sagabal kaya ratrat yung paakyat! pati pagbaba

hindi ko pa nasusubukan yung sa Eton, pero sabi ng uncle ko, mas maluwag daw doon kesa pag sa Sta. Rosa ka pumasok

Hehehe.. I hope I get to try that too ..

I see.. April 8 kasi kami ng umaga pupunta roon so that's a thursday.. I hope di ganoong ka-traffic when we go there, sarap bumiyahe ngayon ang luwang ng kalsada..

Sir, 2 lanes lang po ba yung Sta. Rosa - Tagaytay Rd.? Kakatamad kasi kapag may mga mabagal hehe..

kung hindi rush hour, hindi ganoon kalala yung traffic.

ang main stumbling block lang talaga papunta is sa may bicutan... after that steady na. medyo busy lang yung from sta rosa exit to laguna avenue

and yes, dalawang lanes na magkasalubong lang yung paakyat after ng nuvali kaya ingat na lang sa pag overtake ng jeep na mabagal

The times I've been there, I've seen trucks and jeeps that were run off the road and a mitsubishi eclipse na sumalpok sa barrier

there are portions of the balibago-tagaytay road that are two lanes in each direction, however, after the stoplight at paseo it's mostly two lanes. april 8 is a thursday and there's not a lot of traffic going up normally.

there's a bit near the part where there are alot of corn vendors with two lanes.

as well as the segment near PNPA

[moejun2]

hmmm, traffic you mean? i guess we perceive traffic differently hehe, since i take that route every single day. if you're referring to the road having two lanes each way on those portions then you're right, which is why i said mostly.

there are some drivers who don't even care about parking properly when buying corn, very dangerous and inconsiderate.

[Chikselog]

Thanks again mga sirs .. I guess I'll take the Eton exit para makaiwas sa posibleng traffic ..BTW, we just got back from Pampanga.. Bali 80+ kms. siya and when we got home, 177.7km ang naka-register sa trip meter.. Siguro mga ganoon na rin kapag sa Tagaytay ng balikan hehe..

And this is the fun part.. When we computed for the FC, 177.7km divided by 8.61 liters =

20.64 km/L !! :clap:4 people on board, 2 teens, 2 adults .. 85% highway 15% city + about 2 kms. traffic dahil sa aksidente sa NLEX.. Tsktsk

Sana ganito rin sa Tagaytay trip! Kaso mas marami na akong sakay

[moejun2]

that's good, but you have to factor in the uphill climb to tagaytay, that will affect your FC. goodluck

[scharnhorst]

20.64 km/Liter?! wow. ano yung variant ng vios nyo?

tama si sir moejun... the climb isn't good for the FC. lalo na kung mastuck ka sa likod ng mabagal

[moejun2]

yeah, i'm impressed too. that's what i got when i took the picanto to pagudpud.

OT - sir scharnhorst, i didn't drive the picanto onto the sand near the windmills since i was afraid i would get stuck. after seeing your ranger mired in the sand, i knew the little car didn't stand a chance hehe

[Chikselog]

Hehehe oo nga naman, climbing uphill will definitely take a hit on the FC lalo na't baka 6 kami sa kotse, 5 pax + ako.. And di na ako masyado nag-eexpect na maluwang ang kalsada hehe.. Nagkataon lang na holy week ngayon and maluwang pa

1.3E po sir scharnhorst.. Hehe with aircon at mostly #2 or #3 setting.. Nagulat rin ako sa FC.. Ang akala ko nga po eh mga nasa 15-17 lang, nagkataon lang na maluwang talaga ngayon hehe.. Running at 100-120km/h ako sa NLEX.. Kahit maluwang ang kalsada di na kaya ng puso ko above 120.. Hehe

[Sarsi]

*Chikselog: yep! kakaadik yung bulalo at yung mushroomburger

good news for you, bro. Mag open sila ng branch sa Katipunan area. Pero mas okay pa din sa original location

[Chikselog]

double post

[moejun2]

yeah, that mushroomburger has been around for the longest time. i've been going there since the 80's, as a young kid. i remember they had a branch somewhere in ayala makati in the '90s.

[Chikselog]

Naiintriga na ako sa mushroomburger na yan ah hehe.. Sana madaanan namin pagpunta namin roon

[scharnhorst]

you mean this:



hahaha.

this was how we got out:



hahaha! never went back to the sand again the next time we went to bangui!

80's pa pala yung mushroomburger sa may tagaytay. hehe

*Sarsi: Nakikita ko nga. Andun sa dating jollibee! pero iba nga pag sa original location. malamig! Pero pag wala talagang time, dun sa west ako pumupunta

*Chikselog: sulit! the best I ever got on NLEX was 17 km/li... but that was running at 70kph for more than an hour

instead of taking Sta. Rosa Exit, it is more convenient to take the Eton City Exit. from Coca Cola Plant kasi until sa Paseo de Santa Rosa, sobrang trafffic. while sa Eton City, paglabas mo, Paseo na agad. meaning, di mo na kailangang pumila from Coke plant. same then pag pauwi ng Manila.

Yeah! I agree here with crave mga sir, lalo na pag weekdays, since I live in the City of Sta. Rosa I can tell you what time is the heavy flow of vehicles, sa umaga meron yan mga 6AM-8AM tapos meron yan ulit sa hapon mga 1PM-2PM tapos mga 4PM-8PM, then meron ulit mga 10PM-11PM. Mga shift po kasi yan ng pasok sa mga company sa Technopark kaya expect mo madame sasakyan sa mga oras na yan.




Mga sir reminder ko lang po kung dadaan kayo sa Sta. Rosa Exit going to tagaytay medyo matraffic na kasi may bagong stop light sa may Ford eh, tapos sa may stop light naman sa paseo two lanes po yun di ba, sa tapat ng panasonic, please follow traffic rules yung nakalagay po na Right Lane must turn Right. Kasi po naiinis ako dun sa iba na hindi marunong sumunod eh! ahaha OT na ahahaha

[moejun2]

scharnhorst,

yeah, that's it! i parked a few meters away from the beach and walked the rest of the way.

anyway, mushroomburger has been around for a looooong time. it looks that old doesn't it? no airconditioning, old tables and chairs, old world charm hehe.

btw chikselog,

if you want to test your driving skills a bit, drive down to talisay. that should be fun. then take a banca to the crater.

[Chikselog]

*sir scharnhorst
Hehe.. Gusto ko nga minsan i-try yung 70kph eh..Kaso sobrang nakakatamad yun hehe.. Sana kung yung flow ng traffic ay tamang tama lang ang 70kph pwede pa haha..

OT: Hehehe yung Frontier din yung tumulong sa inyo.. Sa thread ng TSCP nabasa ko na-stuck din si sir G01 ata yun, yung Frontier din yung tumulong..

Sira tanung ko lang po, talaga po ba paatras yun hinihila? Bakit po hindi pa opposite direction na lang? Sensya na po, hindi ko po kasi talaga alam eh, TIA
