BICYCLE TOURING IN MALAYSIA & THAILAND
While this is definitely one of our hardest weekend rides, it is also one of the rides offering the most relaxed and tranquil hotel setting. Based out of the Awana Golf Resort on the Genting Highlands road at 1200m above sea level, the setting is peaceful and idyllic and the views are stunning. The agenda on the bike however is clearly going to involve a lot of climbing.
The main agenda is a 160 kilometer loop down through the quiet Bentong road and up through the Gap at Fraser's Hill, then descending through to Batang Kali to approach our base again from the other side.
Day 2 sees us on a shorter, recovery ride into the rolling villages and fields of Janda Baik before our descnet back down towards Kuala Lumpur to complete the adventure.
Offered as a 2-day ride, this is also avaiulable in a 3-day version where Day 1 has us ascending up to Awana using our leg strength as a warm-up for the main event.
Note that this ride is offered only in the Red version due to the severity of the challenge, and also in Pro Tour package version only since the hotel agenda is set at a premium level.
