Together we rode to the market area for a dinner. Anslem & family were our local contact in KK and is the brother of Apek Biker. |
We were ready to roll on the following day after a good sleep at Borneo Backpackers Hostel. |
Our first breakfast in KK was at Keng Wan Hing, the big Pao was delicious and so was my black local coffee. |
Try the pao here at Gaya Street, you will like it. |
The bicycle lane at Jalan Tun Fuad Stephen is such a beautiful path with coconut trees along the route breezy air and a bright green lane. |
A group photo at Sabah Foundation Building also known as Menara Tun Mustapha. That was our 8th kilometre of the day. |
From the city we proceeded to Jalan Sulaman going through Sepangar, Salut Bay and crossing Gayang Bridge (30th km). |
On the 37th Km we saw the Three Horses roundabout at Tuaran and the heat was getting hotter. |
After using some smaller roads we passed through Tuaran and left the town crossing Sungai Tuaran with this bailey bridge on the 43KM. |
My GPS device directed us to turn right towards Topokon, later I found out that the other 3 cyclists took the route straight on instead of making this turning. They were on a different route. |
The road we took was quiet, the weather was hot and worst of all it had many climbs at this remote part of Sabah. |
We stopped at our 52KM and S.O.S. for our support car as the route was getting hilly and tough, we shall remember this place called Tinambak. |
We were rescued and regrouped at 78th KM which means we supported with this truck for a distance of 26km. |
It was at this place in a warong (somewhere at the outskirt of Kota Belud) we regrouped and had our lunch before we continued the journey. |
The heat was so hot but we kept on pedalling along Jalan Kota Belud - Kudat where most of it was generally flat and quiet sometime paddy fields can be seen. |
We stayed at Northern Inn Hotel for the night and tomorrow we will make it to the tip of Borneo. |
The route of the Day. |
