AhPek Biker - Riding Adventures
Cycling Sarawak Gawai 2015
Large Group Ride - Kuching & Kampung Mongkos.
Kim and Freda after some casual talk came up with the idea of going over to East Malaysia, to the Sarawak - the Land of the Hornbills, and do some cycling there. A FB event was set out and invitations sent out; the response was good and about twenty-six of us will be flying from Kuala Lumpur and one from Singapore. We will be joined by some local friends there. Kim purchased the tickets for the main group, gathered emergency contact numbers and liaised with Freda on the itinerary. Freda made the ground arrangements, i.e. accommodations, transportation, eats places, etc. Most of us will be arriving at the same time while others will be arriving on different days & time. So the logistics of keeping track of this and arrangements for pick-up/send-off was not that simple.
What's make this ride even more interesting is that we were there during the Gawai Festival; it gave us a chance to experience first hand and interact with the locals during their harvest festival. We flew from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching and then proceeded to the Kampong Mongkos.
