Best of the Regions in Intramuros: Eastern Visayas Showcase October 12, 2005 It's our pleasure to announce to everyone the good news that the Terry Larrazabal Bike Festival (TLBF) will be part of the Department of Tourism's Best of the Regions in Intramuros: Eastern Visayas Showcase. The fair, done through the efforts of DOT Sec. Ace Durano (himself a mountain biker), will be done in Intramuros, Manila City, from November 17 to December 1, 2005. The event is an annual promotional activity of the Department of Tourism highlighting the destinations, tourism facilities, events, cuisine and products of the region. We are honored by the distinction and honor to be the first and only cycling event that has been invited to be part of the Eastern Visayas Showcase fair of the DOT, spearheaded by DOT Region 8 Director Karina Tiopes. The TLBF will have a booth during the fair, and we are extending an invitation to everyone to visit the fair, and visit the TLBF booth (you can't miss it, the booth will have a bike). At certain days, I'll personally be there to entertain questions regarding the upcoming 2006 TLBF (events, registration, accommodations, transportation to Ormoc, etc.), the past TLBF festivals and discuss the projects of the Emeterio Larrazabal Foundation, Inc. We will also display some pictures of the previous festivals. Participants of the Festival (2002-2005) can bring a lank CDR and can view our files and check for their photos. We will copy any picture you want to your CD. We will release more details regarding the Fair and the participation of the TLBF in the Fair in the coming days. See you in Intramuros!

Raffle August 15, 2004      We've decided to give as much opportunity to participants to bring home a prize, and in this regard, we'll be conducting a raffle during the awarding ceremonies. For every race/event a participant enters, he/she gets one raffle ticket. During the awarding ceremonies, we'll be giving away prizes to lucky participants (to win, winners have to be present during the awarding ceremonies. If your name is called and you're not there, you forfeit your prize). So far we'll be giving away the following items to lucky registrants/participants (we'll be adding more prizes as the Festival nears): JAMIS mountain bike frame (courtesy of YKK Trading) Marzocchi fork (courtesy of Wellson Trading) Geax tires (courtesy of Elixir Trading) SKS pumps and fenders (courtesy of Aseastar) RUDY PROJECT t-shirts (courtesy of Rudy Project)      Just because participants didn't win a race doesn't mean they can't win a prize. Just by registering, participants automatically have the chance to go home a winner! Support by Philippine Senators August 31, 2004      Senators Mar Roxas, Manuel Villar and Pia Cayetano, have signified their support for the Festival, and the projects of IMBA. We'll be working closely with them in the near future to assist not only the mountain bike community, but also the cycling community in general. more news archives >>
