This expedition is the perfect way to embark on a real adventurous cycling undertaking without having to spend weeks or months setting it all up.

Our passion is mountain biking in remote places and only the few that have actually endeavoured to take on this trip will ever truly know how simply unique the feeling of exploring the interior of northern Borneo is.

The Mount Kinabalu Circumnavigation expedition is supported by two teams, Logistics and Ride.

The Logistics team prepare camps, gets equipment to where it is supposed to be and provides the riders and the Ride team with their requirements such as ice every day, lunch and of course, will cook all the meals, mostly barbeque, they will make sure you will have a comfortable home to arrive at after a hot and hard day in the saddle.

The Ride team will consist of two riders and one driver, with one of the team first aid trained and carrying a comprehensive medical kit, river crossing ropes and rescue equipment. Using a combination of radios, mobile phones and a satellite phone as well as GPS all eventualities can be handled.

Each of the teams will have a 4wd pickup truck and will carry plenty of spare food and water at all times. If a rider feels that it is too hard, too hot or is not feeling great they can simply jump into a truck and enjoy the air-conditioning.
