Coach Caloy Gaston : A Tale of Trails and Rediscovery

Описание: Caloy Gaston is hailed as the country's undisputed Wheelie King and a legend among riders. Caloy's story as a rider can be condensed into 3 words in this order, Whim, Rediscovery, and Passion. Caloy's bond for riding started at the age of 4, he was 5 years old when he had his 1st motorcycle accident, taking on the sport at this stage, to him was more of a diversion that you can go back to on a whim. Riding would take a side step in his life in pursuit of other endeavors, he would consider as worth his while. He got married, started a family, and took on a promising corporate career.

It was at this point that he stopped riding. Like a sentinel his bike would languish for 20 years, relegated as a mere object, waiting to be summoned by his master and be reanimated. 4 (four) years ago a personal tragedy would leave Caloy distraught and devastated, the loss of his wife would pull him back, it was just hard for him, he receded and was distant until he was encouraged by a friend (Tito Paul) to return to riding. Overlooked and in storage for 20 years a, a friend will mend his motorcycle. This rediscovery leads to the purchase of a new bike and eventually the acquisition of almost a hectare property in Tanay, Rizal a Mecca for off-road trail riders and campers.

In the days leading to press time, our family along with friends and other riders found refuge in Caloy's, Tanay property, christened:

Camp G, this is his passion project born out of his renewal, and healing thru riding, and as he always says, at Camp G, he was able to experience God's love thru nature. This is a passion that he shares to close friends so that they too can experience the peace of mind and air of empowerment that Camp G has and offers. The natural terrain of the land is the perfect stage for seasoned riders. Pitching a tent is the order of the day in Camp G. If you want to cook, just make your own fire, only the bare essentials are what Camp G offers. Pure, untouched thrill on trail, bonding, and friendships, renewed and kicked off. Camp G leaves a mark on those who have visited Caloy Gaston's tribute to rediscovery and passion. Though not open to the public, "just yet", post-pandemic and the advent of tourism upon us, it's just a matter of time when Camp G will open its gates. Until then we anticipate the trails leading to it and as always in full throttle...
