Join us for an exhilarating, non-competitive, self-supported long-distance cycling challenge that celebrates the beauty of Negros Oriental and the spirit of adventure!

Event Type: Non-competitive, self-supported long-distance cycling challenge.

Mission: To inspire and empower cyclists by offering a self-supported adventure that celebrates long-distance riding, community, and the beauty of Negros Oriental.

3. Showcase Negros Oriental as a premier cycling destination in the Philippines.

4. Raise awareness of cycling as a clean and efficient mode of transportation.

Event Format:

1. Non-Competitive: This is not a race. Participants set their own pace and focus on enjoying the journey.

2. Self-Supported: Cyclists carry all their own supplies, equipment, and tools. Resourcefulness and self-reliance are key.

3. Your Pace, Your Style: Choose your preferred speed and riding style to personalize the experience.

4. Control Points: The route will have designated checkpoints with cut-off times to ensure safety and progress. Participants must reach each control point before the cut-off time to continue.

4. Group Riding: While not a team event, finding riding companions with a similar pace and style is encouraged to enhance the experience and safety.

4. Physical Fitness: Participants must be in good physical condition to ensure their safety and avoid impacting the group.

5. Respect the Route: Follow the designated route. Cutting or deviating will invalidate your ride (unless organizers provide alternate routes).

6. Checkpoint Navigation: Each participant will receive a checkpoint card during registration. Get it stamped at each control point as proof of passage.

7. Finishing Touches: The checkpoint card must be dropped at the finish line. Sign the card to acknowledge timestamps. Missing stamps will invalidate your ride.
