Ride First, Worry Later!!: Kuching to Kudat (Tip of Borneo, Simpang Mengayau) DAY 4

We went out riding quite early to our primary destination which is KUDAT, the time showed around 7 in the morning. Pak Din set his GPS and it tells KUDAT is another 150 kilometres away. Well if you have made 2+++ kilometres so far, a 150 kilometres is not that far anymore. Nothing stopping us now, KUDAT here we come!

on the way to KUDAT

Once we are out of KOTA KINABALU, the traffic was quite smooth especially when we started to cruise along rural roads to KUDAT. The scenery was fantastic, I can see the view of MOUNT KINABALU clearly from the nearby rural route that we took and we actually can see the top of that legendary mountain in the morning as the cloud is not covering the full view yet.

We were getting nearer and nearer and I couldn’t help myself. Just another 20 kilometres away to go I pulled my throttle almost to the maximum speed as I was getting very excited. The tip of BORNEO, the SIMPANG MENGAYAU is actually situated on the left side on our way to KUDAT. But first we got to look for place to stay and we found KUDAT REST HOUSE just in the middle of KUDAT I supposed so. For only RM60 we got ourselves a nice and very comfortable space to stay in that night.

At the rest house we were destined to meet our offroad blood in blood out brothers. They were bro Ahmit for Sri Aman, bro Hazwan from Kelantan and bro Rohairi also from Peninsular (these 3 are police officers in KUDAT) and the true Sabahan bro Rin (works for ministry of youth & sports in KUDAT). They are the one that took us for a ride to THE TIP OF BORNEO, SIMPANG MENGAYAU and also to one of their offroad training base somewhere not so far from the rest house. We only managed to get to know them for a very short period but it was like we were best friends for years before and ahead. I guess when we are sharing the same patience, we will also share the same emotion and especially the spirit of the riders brotherhood.
