BIKE BORNEO
King of Hill Day Ride
Start the biking trip in a town called Tamparuli. At the beginning, you will cycle on paved road and pass through some villages around 2km before you start 11KM seal and gravel road, up hill! The gradient would be around 5% to 10%. There will be a scenic scenery at the top of the hill. Continue cycling down the hill and pass through some villages on paved road (with moderate uphill) before you hit the gravel. From here, it is all downhill. It is steep and biking skill/handling must be very good.
The ride will take you from starting lower ground with nice and easy ride, and comes the real challenge with long uphill! What goes up, must go down- Nice downhills to ease your leg with breeze.
