7-Eleven TOUR 500: Win P25,000 for your chosen charity

さて、次回のイベントはと申しますと
「セブンイレブン主催　”５００店舗展開おめでとう！”　ツアー５００」
です。
出発はマニラから15kmほど南に下りたところにあるAlabang（セブンイレブンの第1店舗目）という街から、マニラ近辺の避暑地として有名なTagaytayという街まで60kmを走るイベントです。
なんと賞金付きです。（狙ってませんが。（笑））
事前申し込みが必要なので、ご参加の方は近所のセブンイレブンでどうぞ。（もちろんフィリピンのセブンイレブン、ね。）

ゴールの避暑地Tagaytayですが、標高640m弱の高地にありまして、スタートポイントのAlabangは海抜30mたぶんあるかないか、ということになります。60kmの内の後半25kmは600m分登るための、ゆるーいヒルクライムとなります。これ、きつそう…。

ま、何せバカみたいに暑い中走ることになりますので、熱中症対策は必要ですねー。

ルートはこんな感じです。
