Public transportation road trip to Mindoro Island (Occidental to Oriental) loop road
March 25 to 30, 2022
My 100th solo backpacking trip and of course, usual budget do-it-yourself (DIY) itinerary from arrival to departure. Also, Occidental Mindoro served as my 77th province on my quest to conquer the 81 provinces of the Philippines.
The new normal of traveling is inevitable. Pandemic doesn't stop me of my dream and excitement to visit places I've never been. Coming from a 7 months solo trip in American Continent from Nov. 2020 to Jun. 2021, this itchy feet strikes again. This trip is also considered as my Pandemic Adventure Series following the (1) Earth Circumnavigation Jan. 2020, (2) Abu Dhabi Folding Bike Cycling Apr. 2020, (3) Caribbean and Europe Oct. 2020, (4) American Continent Jan. 2021, (5) Mindanao Nov. 2021 and (6) Visayas to Luzon RORO Trips Feb. 2022.
This trip was supposedly my very first Pilipinas Solo Bikepacking to Mindoro Island Loop (approximately 850km). On the 40km distance on the first day of cycling, I experienced tremendous muscle pain on both of my thighs. I've been to 150km a day solo biking abroad, I did not anticipate this kind of injury. I tried to push three times but the muscle pain keeps fighting. Thus, I needed to take a Grab Car to go home early. After hours of rest, I decided to push my Mindoro Island loop trip due to an irresistible mindset.
