The long all roads track of the island. There is not much left that contains tarmack and is not included in this track.

Pretty up and down course with an 13km up to 10% steep climb onto the island's highest mountain Gunung Raya. Up there is Celkom/Telkom station and a resort(?) where you could possibly stay overnight. Additionally there is a tourist look out point/tower for RM 10,/ you can get even approximately 10m higher and have a nice view of the complete island. On a good day, you can see to Thailand's mainland and all the remaining 103 Langkawi archipel islands.

The north west track takes you to the exclusive and very nice Datai Golf club, the north route goes to Tanjung Rhu beach, whereas in the south east you can explore Porto Malai and the tourist beaches of Tangah and Cenang.

No need to take much of supplies with, as almost everywhere you can stop and buy some food and drinks...

...well, even most of the Langkawi visitors would most likely go on this tour by car, as the conditions are quite challenging for cycling. Hot, humid and occassionally quite windy it gives you a good feeling about how the Ironman athletes feel when competing here in February.
