If you wanted to do a complete circuit of Negros, I would say a minimum of 5 days, probably more like 7 at a relaxed pace. Took me 2 days just to get from Dumaguete to Sipalay..

Oh jeez, 5 days.
I think The game plan was to make Dumaguete home base and do day trips out from there.
Think that would be acceptable for getting good bike treks in?

Lots of day trips by bike out of Dumaguete, see #7. Don't forget Apo island as well for diving/snorkeling.

Yeah apo is up there for sure, I heard that there is a underwater national park there. Sounds really neat.

Hard time using google maps?

1. go to google.com
2.click on maps
3. drag the view to Philippines
4. zoom in on Negros to the west. (left)
5. Look for San Carlos city, north of Dumaguete on the east (right) side of the island.
6. Its the road from San Carlos to Bacolod. Surpise!

Just stay at Harolds Mansion, lots of info posted on the noticeboard there about how to do the local bike trips and you can organise snorkeling/dive trips to Apo from there also..

What happened to the OP? His thread was hijacked or probably an alias. Lots of alias posters and promoters here.
