Bike trip: Bukit Shah bandar - Taman Berakas - Meragang - Muara - Serasa - Bukit Shah Bandar

This trip was planned by my brother, endurance trip (74 km) with less traffics going in and out of junctions and a few gentle hills. The weather was excellent in the morning and it was very hot in the afternoon. We stopped over at Taman rekreasi Berakas for some MTB action! and continued to Pantai Meragang where the Biodiversity center was opened for visitors that lucky day!!

The trip was recorded using Sports Tracker - I forgot to resume back the apps in the last 14 km.

At starting point..

Bicycle roadtrip: Tasik Serubing > Subok > Stadium > Lambak > Sg Hancing > Tasik Serubing

My fourth consecutive bicycle trip was designed to tackle hills at Subok and Jln Kebangsan - It was a hard journey for me, from the video you can hear me did death breathing (soooo tired!!). On the way to our lunch break (@Soto Tinis Lambak, 3/4 of the journey), I had muscle cramp on both of my calf muscle - the journey had to continue!!.

In total we cycled 42.5 km that day (with cycling time around ~2 hours and 45 minutes), around small villages and bandar area with lunch stop at Soto Tinis at Lambak.

My learning point: Change to easy gear early before the climb. My first time using easy front gear (1) on my bicycle at Subok hill - I nearly toppled from my bicycle (check out my video File0026).

Video was captured using Contour Roam (http://www.half.com.bn/contourroam/)

Bicycle outing: Roadtrip only Mc Farm - Kg Mata2 - Kg Beribi - Istana - Kiulap - Airport Lama - Batu Bersurat - Mc Farm

Due to heavy rain in the early hours, we decided not to tackle Mc Farm trail. Instead we just cycled at normal road, in total we cycled 35 km around small villages and bandar area (we passed Istana Nurul Iman).

Road trip from Sports Tracker:

Using my Contour Roam mounted on the bicycle helmet to record our journey (break not included.. kekeke).

Bike ride: bukit Shah bandar - mc farm - bukit Shah bandar

My second time on a bike ride.. In this trip, I crashed and toppled from my bike while descending from Hill 1 and experienced muscle cramped on both of my legs (repeatedly) from Hill 2 all the way back to Bukit Shah Bandar. It was a very painful journey for me...we had to stop several times along the way for me to recover from the muscle cramp. 
In total we clocked around 20 km journey based on Sport Tracker apps. I forgot to record the journey from the start at Bukit Shah Bandar.




Crashed and Burnt when downhill from Hill 1 (the actual crash video was overwrite to full disk)
