"Bike touring is a good way to let mind and body travel at the same pace. Travelling
at 'human-speed' lead to a level of interaction, whether with changing landscapes
or with people met on the way, that make the journey awesome,
and not just the destination, part of adventure."

...::: Nenering :::...


- Train for Tour -

Date: 
8th Mac 2014

Route: 
Pangkalan Hulu, Perak - Kampung Lalang, Gerik - Felda Nenering - 
Ayer Panas - Kg Tasek, Pangkalan Hulu

...::: Google Maps :::...


 
'Jelajah Borneo' kembara yang panjang (approx. 30 days), di laluan berbukit dan pergunungan. 
Lanskap yang agak mencabar, menguji ketahan fizikal & mental.

Perlu 'get use with the bike' dan kenal pasti masalah semasa & 'rectified'.

Latihan hari ini di laluan berbukit tanpa 'panniers'. Latihan ini bagi menguji tahap fizikal 
semasa ketika 'mendaki', cuaca panas dan rentak kayuhan @ 'pace' tanpa bebanan.

- Alhamdulillah - 
Tahap Fizikal masih baik, penafasan baik cuma aku perlu tingkatkan tahap 'stamina' 
serta kekuatan kaki untuk mencapai 'target pace' dengan muatan.

Clip...... 'Jelajah Borneo' 

Nota:
  • Dah lama buat 'homework' untuk Jelajah Borneo. Perancangan sahaja dah 'mendebarkan'. Bermula di Tawau, Sabah dan berakhir di Kuching, Sarawak telah siap disusun mengikut kemampuan dan lanskap bumi Sabah & Sarawak.
  • So far, 'self-supported' …… dan guna perbelanjaan sendiri, tetapi jika ada mana-mana pihak yg bermurah hari untuk memberi tajaan i.e. tiker penerbangan ke Tawau dan Kuching/Penang …… amat-amat saya alukan.  Perjalanan jauh selama sebulan pasti lebih bermakna. Insya' Allah !
