Newbies bask in Sun Life CyclePH

Thousands took part in the inaugural Sun Life CyclePH yesterday with biking newbies relishing the chance to ride side-by-side with three-time Tour de France green jersey winner Robbie McEwen and a slew of celebrities at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig on Saturday.

Around 1,200 showed up in the novel event which featured seven categories – the tricycle ride (100-m distance for two- to three-year-olds), kids’ ride (500-m for 4-5), family ride (30-minute ride for 6-15 with adult companion), solo ride (30-minute ride for 6-15), short distance ride (20-km for 10 and above), long distance ride (40-km for 10 and above) and Bid-2-Bike where they pedaled alongside McEwen and Star Magic artists, led by Piolo Pascual.
