The track start from Gunung Emas and ends at Kiulu and yes it sound never ending but YES we did it cross over unlimited mama's (crocker range ) estimated about 38-40km, the track consist of pushing and carying bike, we start at 0900hrs and reach ending point at 1800hrs..

Fueling up before the start coz we have to drive about 30minutes from Penampang to the starting point, so we have enough time to digest whatever for breakfast..and please notice that all are still smiling by than as excited and anxious to ride this new track..(cross finger hehe)

The start was DH about 10km on this earth road, which hitting the brake which we have to stop to cool it off..and fine gravel make's it very loose but lucky the road is wide and heard in few years time this road will connects Kiulu..
