Meron mga FX bound for Angono sa labas ng Supermarket ng SM Megamall. Pero dalawa na kasi ang Supermarket sa Megamall (sa building B at yung bago na supermarket sa building A), make sure na Supermarket ng Megamall Building "B" ka lalabas (EDSA side).
Mga 1 hour travel from Megamall gang sa Angono Town proper, pero pag malapit na fiesta (Nov 20, 21, 22) mejo traffic na yan. Php45 (fixed pamasahe, year 2011).
From Angono Town Proper pede puntahan Angono Cave para sa petroglyphs. Depende kung umaga, hapon o tanghali ka pupunta. May mga subdivisions na kasi sa taas (malapit sa angono cave) at yung mga service vans nun mga subdivisions na yun madalas naghihintay sa Angono Hiway (near Balaw-balaw), pede ka makisakay pa akyat (libre). Sunflower Homes yung pangalan ng isa sa subdivisions sa taas na lagi may service van malapit sa Balaw-balaw (free service pa akyat).
May service vans din ang Fiesta Casino na malapit sa Angono Cave (nasa munical plaza naman hintayan nila). Diko lang sure kung ano exact oras dumadating ang mga service na to pero madalas ko nakikita. Pero cguro meron na sa umaga hanggang hapon, araw araw (hindi naman kasi nagsasara ang casino).
Php20 / entrance fee sa Angono Cave. Open ng 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, kakapunta kolang uli dun. Dumating ako mga 15 mins before 7:00 AM, pinapasok naman ako nun guwardya. nag jogging lang kasi ako kaya ang aga ko.
Best days magpunta sa Angono Cave, Wednesday to Sunday, kasi meron Tourist Officer dun ng ganito mga araw. Explain nya sayo / sa group mo history ng angono cave. Off work nun tourist officer ng Monday at Tuesday.
Sarado nga pala Maysha Hotel sa Angono, sa balak magpa book para sa fiesta. Diko sure kung mag o-open bago mag fiesta (nov23). Sobra bago ng hotel nato sa Angono, diko lam bat nag closed agad.

Helpfulness
The Angono MTB Circuit is a challenging route near Manila. This particular circuit can be enlarged like doing a double loop with the second loop climbing the steep Guido St and going down to Taytay via Cabrera route. Another option is to go down to Morong via the back door trail near the Thunderbird exit. There are unexplored trails within the circuit, usually pre-developed subdivisions (which we may rapid loose to progress).
Regarding this route, the climb we took is via the Botong Francisco (La Farge- Crusher) route to Mahabang Parang going to Angono Forest Park development. Its a very challenging climb 100% cemented. From there, we exit the Antipolo route near Maia Alta and return back via Thunderbrid Resort. As what usual bikers do, we passed by the Angono Petroglyps for a little historical tour. Our way down was via the Binangonan (Monique Vallais). This is usually climbed by visiting bikers from Manila but in our case, its a wonderful introduction for a downhill ride for newbies. For those coming from Manila, you can park in Scrapyard Restaurant where you can eat before and after the ride.
Equipment: Mountain Bike. Hard Tail with Fork Suspension or even fully Rigid (Fork) mountain bike would be sufficient.
