<br>Last February, I lend my garmin 76csx to a friend (A.S.Tanjangco) who joined the 700+km Petron Endurance (motorbike) Run last Feb. It's Manila - Pampanga (via Mcarthur Hway) - Bataan-Subic Zambales - Alaminos - Urdaneta - Aritao Nueva Ecija, crossed the Baguio-Nueva Vizcaya Road passing Ambuklao Dam, then entering Baguio thru Ambuklao Road - Pacdal Circle - Leonard Wood.<br>
<br>I was talking with this motorbike-rider yesterday and he described this Aritao-to-Baguio Road as all cemented highway. He was very happy driving on it; and I'm also very happy our new tracks (& road verification) :-)<br>
<br>On quick search, it turned out to be the new shorter alternative road (possibly a new alternative 'trunk road' from the usual long Halsema Highway), linking Benguet to Nueva Vizcaya's Daang Maharlika Highway <br>
<br>As of this writing, I'm in the process of retracing this road (over a fresher 1-sec gps tracklog) to improve road alignments & initially reclassifying it from Secondary to Primary. I'm tempted to make it a trunk :-) <br>
<br>I don't know the official name yet: Baguio-Nueva Vizcaya Road, Baguio-Aritao Road, Baguio-Banaue Road. Which Which?<br>
