It was March 26 to 28, 2010, when my motorcycle riding group, Team YBR CDO, Inc. conquered Camiguin Island. We started our tour from Cagayan de Oro City at 11:00 AM, Friday on board our Yamaha 125 G motorcycles. Seven riders (four of us with our wive's on the backride and 3 single riding members) traversed the 84 kms coastal road of Misamis Oriental from CDO City to Balingoan port and boarded Kalinaw Barge that perried us and our motorcycles to Binoni Port in Camiguin Island.
We have reached the Island at 2:45 PM and then immediately travelled to our first destination, the Sagay Municipality where one of our touring members' relatives live. We stayed they till 7:00 PM and then travelled again to around 30 kms for the Ardent Hot Spring in Mambajao where we took a dip and go for a swim on it's hot spring pool. We stayed there during the night. At 8:00 AM in the morning we left the place and rode all together to the town proper of Mambajao and went inside a restaurant for our breakfast.
We continued our tour and stopped from time to time to take some pictures on selected places along the coastal roads of the island. Before 12:00 PM, we're already back to Sagay. We had some fun and we sang and danced along with the group and our new found friends in the island. We all slept before midnight and woke up early to travelled back to Cagayan de Oro City. We boarded again the same barge at 5:30 AM on Sunday morning and reached Balingoan port at 7:00.
We had some snacks and rested for awhile at one of our members' place. After another hour we're back on our motorcycles homeward bound to Cagayan de Oro City. The next thing I knew, before 12:00 PM, we're home and still with the excitement that we experienced during the entire ride.
