This post is very late and so I have forgotten some of the details about this ride that happened last year. From today and counting the days back, it has been more than 100 days since that fateful midnight of November 28, 2010.
Perhaps because of the anticipation and excitement, I wasn't really able to get enough sleep the night prior the ride. I tried to sleep during the day with no success. Night came and I decided to summon San Miguel's help. It was effective or at least an hour.
