Local traffic enforcers led the 300-strong Ducati Grand Motorcade around the iconic landmarks of Clark.

The first stop was the new Clark International Airport, where the group had a quick photo-op followed by a drive-by along Clark International Speedway, Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino, Aqua Planet, the CDC flag pole and, finally, the Stotsenberg post before heading to the main event venue at the Clark Parade Grounds.

A 120-foot dome tent with a live-cooking breakfast buffet awaited the participants upon arrival. S. Osmeña Street, from Ninoy Aquino Ave. up to R.C. Santos Street, was closed and allocated as parking for the Ducatisti.

Each rider received a We Ride as One event shirt, Ducati sticker bundles and gift packs from Shell Advance.
