What an epic milestone!
From Kuantan to Terengganu and Kelantan.
We crossed 2000m elevation Titiwangsa to reach Betong (Thailand).
We ended our tour with Penang Round Island.
From the video, you know food keeps us going!
Many firsts (for me) in this epic ride.
-First time cycle into Thailand!
-First time ferry from Butterworth to Penang Island
-Cycling to Penang was in my bucket list
-East Coast, Kuantan, Terengganu, Kelantan was all new to me
-Lugging our panniers across Titiwangsa! (30km climb peak 1050m, from Jeli to Gerik)
