Join us for an exciting 5 day cross-island event!
Starting from Bintan resorts, you'll cross
all of Bintan in the first 2 days,
cross Batam on the third, and spend the last two days in lovely little explored Karimun island.
Feedback from the trailblazers (pictured below)
We had an excellent time. The trail from the end of the 'Resorts road' onwards along North Bintan is
great in terms of variety (inclines, scenery, vegetation) and good quality surface for
mountain bikes (varied, some smooth, some a bit challenging,
but never too much or not bike-able). Even the weather worked for us!
Reaching the north-east and east coastal areas - again it is a delight: nice villages and
beautiful scenery.
Due to my own poor maintenance and pre-trip checks, I had a tube and tyre blow out that was
potentially serious given that roads are at some distance for evacuation,
but the various guides did a great job!
We'll be back!
