The Summit

Mountain Biking is a booming sport/hobby here in Bukidnon, where cross country races are being held once or twice a year with different sponsors. Of all Bukidnon's biking population, most if not all have participated in the said competitions. Mountain bikes are common here since our roads are yet to be developed taking advantage of the different technologies offered today. While on the other side of the coin, road bikes are not far behind.

A Usual Mountain Bike with Platform Pedals (Usually they wear clipless pedals here)

One route usually taken by these cycling enthusiasts is "The Summit",which is known for its steep gradient of the road going to Cabanglasan, a fourth class municipality of Bukidnon and it passes through several barangays from the city proper of Malaybalay. "The Summit" is a training ground for beginners and veterans alike, but for those who bike in a leisurely pace the scenery is breathtaking (I'm not sure if the scenery took my breath away or the roads going there)
