Ride report: Friday 13th, March – Kuala Penyu to Tempurung

Before shot Buffalos with baby Sawangan Beach After shot

The ride started with cloudless sky, and curious eyes of the Kuala Penyu folks.  With a “Before” photo shot with the ferry as background, we rides along the quiet road towards Tempurung Village, rest stopped at Sawangan Beach, passing lots of traditional fisherman houses on stilts and troops of buffalos across the road with their siblings.  With all these, Kevin’s camera never stop clicking…

With my guests from UK, Kevin, Lisa, Geoffrey & John, we arrived at the scenic tempurung Seaside Lodge to have our late lunch, not to mention the finger-licking food.  This is when our famous tropical thunderstorm started!

The afternoon ride is totally different from our morning session, from starts we have all the way of slippery and sticky muddy trail with result from the pouring rain & running trucks to the construction site nearby.

No long on the trail, my bike to be the first to call it a day with a broken rear derailer.  Nevertheless, all enjoy the exciting ride and we headed back to Kota Kinabalu with mud and sand.

This is a typical North Borneo Mountain Biking package from TYK Adventure tours.
