Trail biking - a sport which is usually done on a rugged terrain on high mountain areas such as Busay, Guba, San Carlos Heights (pardo), Guadalupe, Consolacion to name a few.

A number of Trail bikers find this as a hobby and gets a good number of friends from foreign tourists to show them the way - around Cebu. There has been a clamour for such events that it is done more often sometimes once a month and with different groups.

2 types of Trail Biking:

1. Beginners - usually in groups of 5 - 10 (to familiarize the route) and pass on a rugged terrain/road.
2. Professionals - group of professional riders crossing mountains and finding their own paths in ascending/descending (even at 45 degrees trail) ride, passing through river banks. Whenever lost, they follow the river that flows which usually leads them back on tract, to a road.

Mountain folks in such areas are exposed to such sport/hobby. They are warm and friendly and can even be very accommodating. It may be possible for them to prepare and cook your food for a reasonable price or an arrangement may be made.

Best time of the year to TRAIL:

• Philippine time: 5:00 AM at the break of day so one does not get to spend the night uphill.
• March - May (dry or Summer season)
• June - September (wet or rainy season) may be risky because the water in riverbanks may rise and the terrain or path may get to be slippery. However, one can try their lucky and risk.

The rest of the year may be wonderful, a combination of rain and sunshine.
