Morning ride to Puncak has been done. Charity activities also have been completed. The rest, was just a relaxing time and get together, enjoying very fresh mountain air at Mega Mendung.

Mega Mendung is quite famous recreational area, since it represents a mountain climate but not too far from Jakarta. We were lucky and thank you for the generous of Didi, the Club President who provide his family villa to be used by us.

Before the riders arrived, Putri, my oldest daughter who went and arrived there earlier with the other kids by car under Mom Grace supervison, took some pictures representing the beauty of this place:

Part 1: Jakarta –Puncak-Mega Mendung Ride

This time, the ride is only a short distance. It was designed for a relaxing ride and focus more on the charity and gathering activities.

This is a kind of annual social routine activities of the Ducati community. If last year we rode to Serang almost at the beach level for the annual charity activity, this time we prefer to ride to a mountain area, Mega Mendung.
