I've heard about the Komodo trail from this young man named, Lorence Aragon, when he joined the Pangasinan Enduro early this year. I was amazed by how young and talented the boy was. I asked him where he usually trains, he told me that he is a regular at the Komodo trail in Bulacan. I immediately took a mental note to include that trial in my bucket list of local MTB spots, i have to visit. Few months after, armed with our bikes, i asked my husband to drive me and the girls to the Komodo trail. After less than an hour trip from Quezon City, we got to enjoy the trail and we had a blast, even my daughters loved it.
Komodo trail is located in a privately owned land in Pajo, Meycauayan, Bulacan. The trail is around 6KM, showcasing man made jumps, drops and gaps. But it also has natural trail suited for cross country and enduro training. The trail has this homey feel to it. It makes you feel like your playing in your own backyard. There were frogs, goats, geese adorably roaming around. It was a friendly trail but you seriously need skills to tackle those challenging man made jumps they have constructed. No wonder, these guys are spectacularly skilled in dirt jump.
I would like to give a big thanks to Macoy Dela Cruz, president of the Komodo freerider team, to "The Doctor" EJ Sarabia for joining us, and to all the KOMODO FREERIDERS. They are very respectful youngsters. It's extremely rare for young people to be as nice and accommodating as these guys. Most of all, they are extremely talented and dedicated in honing their skills. I can only wish these young men, for all their dreams and aspirations to come true.
Here are some pictures during our trip.

How to go to Komodo trail?
Take NLEX - then turn right to Meycauayan exit, take the rotonda, you can ask the tricycle drivers which way to Camalig Munisipyo, or you go right, then drive straight ahead until you reach Pajo, turn left, you will see the sign Komodo Trail along the way.
