The start of the climb towards "Tinae sa Manok" route.  The winding road is similar to a chicken's intestine.

The climb has started.  BigMig still leads the peloton

And the climbers in the group want to take over.  Tyre Lambo, Rommel, Igimax and Boy Tiples notch it higher.

The roads are getting steeper now

Tyre Lambo of Leo Cebu starts to pull away...

Followed by Jon Simbajon, Rommel, Igimax and Mike Mancio, which surprises the field with his climbing ability in spite of being new in road racing.

What makes the sport of Cycling so spectacular is that it will bring you to places such as historical and tourist spots you could not have thought of visiting in the first place.  Thats what you call Cyclo-Tourism.  Lets do this for Cebu soon!

Rommel (right) and Igimax (center) start to inch their way up front.  BigMig (left) on the other hand, is just being consistent with his monicker "if you cannot perform, form" :)

Igimax taking his turn to lead the peloton

But cant help take a quick glance on a popular tourist attraction on his left...

...the Loboc River Cruise with its floaring restaurants!  To know more about this tourist attraction, click here.

The race was well coordinated with the local government.  Shown here are the Loboc police taking over the traffic control as the cyclists passed the town.  Thank you Loboc PNP!

Another famous tourist spot the cyclists passed by is the Loboc Church.  It was originally built in 1602, but soon reduced to ashes.  Learn more about it here 

How we wish we can stop and explore these famous tourist attractions.  Well, you can't have them both, its either pure racing or a picnic ride.

BigMig Flores wants to settle the score early by leading the peloton at a fast pace, hoping to split the group.  Security escorts and marshalls are aplenty you feel safe racing in Bohol.

Rommel Limpangug (Cebu) and Dondie Azarcon (Manila) take its turn of pulling the group.

Showtime for Sanx Ontanillas (Cebu).  Drafting at its best

Dr JV Araneta attacks solo and... looks behind.  Nobody wants to follow?  Where are the teammates?

THE DOCTORS ARE IN. There goes Dr Paul So and Dr Jon Simbajon helping out their comrade.  Will the Doctors on Attack (DOA) be successful? Abangan!
