A three day tour

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 wives on the backride and 3 single
riding members) traversed the 84 kms coastal road of Misamis
Oriental from CDO City to Balingoan port.
We 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 there 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 and slept at one of the cottages 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.

fun and we sang and danced along with the group and our new
found friends in the island.
