The dictionary defines brunch as a late-morning meal that combines breakfast and lunch. For a group of spirited riders, however, the meaning has changed forever. Brunch is no longer just about the food. It is now about the adventure that comes before it, the stories shared along the way, and the bonds forged on the open road. This new meaning was perfectly captured by the recent Kawasaki Krib Valenzuela Brunch Ride.
The day began with a buzz of energy at Kawasaki Krib Valenzuela, the designated meet-up spot for more than thirty riders. The air was filled with the rumble of engines and the chatter of old friends catching up while new friendships started to form. Every arrival added to the growing excitement as conversations flowed from bike modifications to shared adventures of the past. The anticipation was unmistakable as everyone geared up, ready for a day of twisting roads and great company.
With a final roar, the convoy set out on their journey. Their first stop was a gas station along NLEX, where they fueled up and posed for a quick group photo. From there, they continued to a gas station in Angeles City, where riders rested, snapped more photos, and enjoyed a short break before tackling the main leg of the ride.
The excitement truly began on the road to Monasterio de Tarlac. Located atop Mount Resurrection, the monastery is a historic and spiritual site that houses a relic of the True Cross of Christ. For the riders, however, the path to reach it was just as memorable. The winding curves and challenging roads provided the perfect playground to test their skills and experience the thrill of their machines. Against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery, the ride became a symphony of man, machine, and open road.
After a morning filled with adrenaline and adventure, the group headed to their final stop, a culinary landmark in Pampanga: Aling Lucing. Known as the birthplace of the modern sisig, the restaurant offered the ideal setting to cap off the day.
As the riders sat down to their well-deserved meal, the atmosphere was filled with laughter, storytelling, and shared memories of the road. They recalled favorite moments, joked about missed turns, and strengthened the bonds that make the riding community so special. Adding more fun to the gathering, friendly games were held, and winners took home exclusive Kawasaki merchandise.
The Kawasaki Krib Valenzuela Brunch Ride was more than just an ordinary ride. It showed how a simple meal can be transformed into a lasting memory when paired with adventure, friendship, and passion for riding. It was the perfect combination of high-energy excitement and laid-back fellowship, a true celebration of what it means to be part of the riding community.
