Kayuhan Mental (It’s all in your mind) and some life lessons from bike touring The noise from the group of families camping and having their BBQ party until very late after mid night made it quite difficult for me to fall asleep the night before. I was trying hard to get some rest knowing thatContinue reading “Bike Touring in Malaysia: Day 4 Port Dickson to Putrajaya 73.2 km”
