EXPLORING
LITTLE BAGUIO
BIKE TRAIL
Members of the Filipino Amateur Mountain
Bikers (FAMB) taking a break as they ride
through biking trails at Birds Hill Provincial Park.
Nestled among the forests and hiking trails
found throughout the park, "Little Baguio" is
a tree lined gravel pit where FAMB members
have come together for a common passion.
Over 40 mountain bikers were out at Birds Hill
last week enjoying the outdoors, camaraderie
and thrill of biking, especially for newbies.
The trail is not officially on any provincial
park map and the biking group have aptly
nicknamed the area after Bagiuo, a city in
the mountinous Northern Luzon region of
the Philippines.
On any given day (or night), members of
FAMB are taking to the bike trails all across
Manitoba. Follow and join their Facebook
group for all upcoming rides.

line the gravel pit remind him of Baguio, Philippines. Baguio is a city
located in Northern Luzon in the Philippines, known for its mountainous
landscapes.
