This bike ride is the sixth installment to the annual Lakbay Bisekleta that a group of Sorsogon cycling enthusiasts have been doing since 2009. The Lakbay Bisekleta is usually a Holy Week group ride, unsupported, lasting from eight to ten days, and have so far traversed most provinces in Luzon Island up to Aparri, Cagayan and to as far south as Davao City in Mindanao Island.
For this year, it was decided to go on an easy island hopping ride and travel to the country’s premier beach destination: Boracay Island. The plan was simple: travel from Bulan, Sorsogon to Masbate City by boat, traverse the Masbate Island by bike to Balud at the west coast, by boat again from Balud to Roxas City in Capiz, and ride all the way to Caticlan, Malay, then to Boracay. The way home will simply backtrack the route and the itinerary calls for an eight-day mountain bike ride.
