Sape maestros at Pustaka Miri Showcase





Long Moh, Long Mekaba ... all the old masters are still in these two places.

Loops on the 19th and 26th of June.

26th June. Bakam or bust ... it was a bust, started out too late but overall a good loop. Jalan Riam-Miri-Airport Road uphill was broken into 2 segments (1 stop). The uphill is shorter range than Jalan Cahaya but faster ascend.


19th June. Jalan Cahaya uphill towards Miri-Airport Road is gentle but brutal in one go, so it was broken into 3 short segments (2 stops).

A short run to Luak Beach and back ...

Luak Bay Esplanade at 0655hrs approximately. A few families with young children testing the surf, most kiddoes where to scared to enter the water. Good for them caused there've been a few jelly-fish encounters in these waters in recent weeks. A lone hobby fisherman came and sat with me showing me this one fish (garfish) he got after spending half a morning in the water with his pukat. "Tough life being fisherman ...", he said looking forlorn.

Today's route 16 kms, 40mins going in and 40mins back with a 20 min break at destination and 20 minute loitering around a neighbourhood I'd never been to before after living in Miri all these years. The ride consisted of a moderate downhill run at the start, uphill crawl on the way back ... very slowly in the saddle.
