Ladies & Gentlemen:

We would like to acknowledge Petron Corporation for their commitment and support to the Motorcycle Community for their participation in the recently concluded IRON MAN Challenge Endurance Ride 2008.


Petron Corporation, through its adopted club, the AMDG-Petron Motorcycle Club; graciously provided majority of the IRON MAN participants with Petron XCS fuel via their vast dealer network along the 1,200 kilometer route. Aside from that, snacks & drinks, efficient & speedy, service was given to all IRON MAN participants who were most definitely in a rush to finish the challenge well within the prescribed 24-hour deadline. On a related note, all AMDG-Petron MC, ATAT MC, & some Team TOYBIKES bikes were/are also powered by Petron SPRINT 4T oil.

"Group 20"
The AMDG-Petron MC was gunning for the 100,000Php purse offered by Mayor Alfred Romualdez/Patio Victoria for any group of 20 or more riders to start, check-in, & finish the challenge as a whole. The AMDG-Petron train of 20 riders was intact and accounted for, spearheaded by AMDG-Petron MC President Nilo Vergara up until Bamban, Tarlac; when their hopes were dashed a mere 20 kilometers away from the finish line when one of the bikes broke down in a truly heartbreaking turn of events. The group finished the challenge in about 23 1/2 hours.

"Party time"
On the morning of the 6th of January (Sunday), Petron Corporation once again showed their generosity & support by sponsoring and co-hosting an eat-all-you-can brunch buffet at the Oxford Hotel in Clark for all organizers, participants, finishers, and guests of the IRON MAN Challenge 2008 together with the AMDG-Petron Motorcycle Club. It seemed like a mini bike convention as the Dynasty Restaurant on the ground floor of the Oxford Hotel was filled to the rafters, it has a 300 to 350 pax capacity. Special guest, General Berroya, was present and wished everybody well. Clubs represented were, ATAT, BAGWIS, BATANGAS TIRE BURNERS, BIKERS UNLIMITED, BOSS, BRAVO BROS., CB RIDERS, CLUB 200, LAWIN, LERAP, Pampanga ROADRUNNERS, Team TOYBIKES, WACKY, & AMDG-Petron. (*I hope I did not forget any club)

All in all, the IRON MAN Motorcycle Challenge '08 was an unforgettable and memorable experience to all, organizers, participants, & guests alike... we all learned new things from one another and about each other... bonds were made, or strengthened, or in some cases even forgotten... bottomline... let us not forget or destroy the BROTHERHOOD in our community!

Thank you to Francis Rivera & BOSS for their invitation & auspices.

KUDOS to PETRON Corporations XCS fuel and SPRINT 4T oil!

Ride on brothers! A.M.D.G... Let's ALL ride "For the Greater Glory of God!"
