Day 2: Arrive Manila -Mindoro. Our guide, Rick, will meet you at the airport and take you by air-conditioned mini-bus to the port of Batangas and then by our 'ferry' to the base for the tours, the island of Mindoro. The ferry is, in fact, a large outrigger  which will take us directly onto the beach only yards from our hotel. This is the Mermaid Resort which is newly opened and well-appointed. After time to freshen up and relax, we will have a welcome dinner to get to know each other.
				Day 3: Puerto Galera - 50km. We pick up our bikes in the morning and spend the day discovering the many and varied local trails and attractions. These include waterfalls  with rock pools, Mangyan tribespeople and the amazing views from the only golf course on the island. This is carved into the side of a mountain and is 700m above sea level. Today will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the local terrain and the Philippine driving conditions!
				Day 4: Puerto Galera - Calapan - 80km. This is the start of the circumnavigation of the island. Your luggage will be in the support jeep  and we have a full tank. We check out some interesting trails with river crossings and encounter spectacular waterfalls en-route to Calapan. This is the provincial capital of the region and we stay in a quality hotel with a great pool.
				Day 5: Calapan - Roxas - 120km. An early morning jungle trail starts the day. Then we head out of the region on reasonable roads. En-route we check out an old coconut lumber logging trail along the rugged coastline. We then head into the mountains and over a very long jungle bridge  which spans the 'Bongabong' river delta. We are now deep into the provinces where accommodation is getting scarce. But in Roxas, we will be staying in modest, clean accommodation.
