Lintas Borneo is a self-supported ultra-cycling adventure crossing 2 countries, Indonesia and Malaysia. Covering the distance of 1500 km with elevation gain up to 13.000 m. We designed the route to be beautiful and challenging, while still rideable with views you won’t forget. With It’s unique climate and geography, It’s a challenge to complete the ride under the humid and heat of equator.
THE JOURNEY
Starting in Pontianak, the route winds to the east through the dense palm jungle to be greeted by Bukit Kelam, the largest monolith in the world. Climb the endless rolling hill and witness the beauty of the Sentarum National Park before entering Malaysia. Get lucky and try your best to spot hornbills in this area.
As you make your way down from the border to Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak, Malaysia, you will face harsh wind and hot sun on the Pan Borneo Highway before tackling the last highest climb in Malaysia. Then you’ll cruise along the coast of West Borneo back to Pontianak.
Every kilometre brings a new view and new challenge, not to mention that rare feeling in the dense tropical jungle of Borneo.

The afternoon before the start, riders will register to collect their ridepacks and trackers. We’ll also have a mandatory bike check to ensure your bike and all equipment are legit and good to go.
A short introduction and briefing will end the day before you take a proper rest for the ride next morning.
