Off-roading is a sport that requires skills and saddle time. If you’re a resident of Metro Manila, going to off-roading sites (to learn or hone your skills) in Montalban, Magallanes (Cavite), or Doña Remedios Trinidad (DRT) can be a daunting task and would require at least a few hours in travel time and will always be a whole day affair.
This is not great news for people who are very busy with work or just don’t have the time for some off-roading action.
Recently, a new 40-hectare facility in the south of Manila was just opened and is the perfect place for busy folks who like off-roading.
L-R: Cho Delos Santos (CDS Off-road), Lawrence R. Castillo (MMF), Olsen Camacho (Rally Master Academy), Vanessa Vicente (VP Megaworld), Carlo Jun Magno, E.Z Ligaya and Sonny Oliveros (Rally Master Academy)
Arden Trails Academy
Strategically located within Arden Botanical Estate in Tanza, Cavite, Arden Trails Academy offers Learn to Drive and Learn to Ride modules for all types of students from beginners with zero off-road driving or riding experience, to intermediate and professionals.
Bicycle, motorcycle, and rally car rentals are available on-site, as this facility also provides the perfect training ground for aspiring athletes who want to further develop their skills in their chosen off-roading sport.
The facility also boasts a large flat track area of about 4 kilometers for rallycross, motocross, and even adventure bikes. There’s also a 15-kilometer mountain bike route, which can also double as an adventure/enduro bike route within the 40-hectare property.
A coffee shop is also available to students and their companions after a tiring day of off-road training, complete with dressing and shower rooms.
The Arden Trails Academy has partnered with renowned professionals in their own fields, like Rally Master Academy – the people behind the Philippine Rally Cross; MX Messiah for motocross, Coach D MTB Efficiency Riding Syatems for mountain biking, and CDS Off-road for enduro and adventure bike tutorials.
