"Two cyclists are from Sarawak, one of them a woman, while the rest are from Kota Kinabalu," he said, adding that one cyclist is Irish but living in Kota Kinabalu. "The route will be the first time for all of us, not many have done this and I think this is the biggest group by far because normally it would be solo, twosome or threesome cycling," he said. He said the objective of the tour was to have fun and leisure, visit new places, meet people, encourage healthy living as well as to promote Sabah, Brunei and Sabah as a cycling destination. "I was looking for new challenges, life is short which is why I decided to initiate this tour, to have fun and be merry the healthy way while at the same time none of the cyclists here have met the Kuching riders, Jean Voon and Richard Kho, that would be joining us, so it is also about making new friends," he said.
