Our first Big DP Odyssey into the Rainforest of Central Malaysia with 47 bikes of various makes.
Here's a few pix before the story proper begins.

Mat Daling is a small settlement just South of Malaysia's Taman Negara National Park in Central Peninsula Malaysian Peninsula.
To get there a dirt track of about 65km needs to be covered, the route a combination of mud, soft and hard packed clay laid on mostly hilly sections.
There is also another route that leads South, a 99km of fun dirt track with numerous mud pools. Fairly easy but dusty when dry, both routes changes in character when wet, a hellish knee deep slippery mud that turns fun into an impossible task to navigate.

We got together and organised a simple light-hearted Challenge amongst Big DP Offroad Riders, some who are totally new to the game, some old hands, and a few wanting to drop the label of the "GS Starbuck Edition" and try their heavy machines in an environment they like to call ADV Riding.

We got Husqvarna and Touratech to sponsor the Event, with Forma Boots joining in with prizes for the Challenge on the second day of the 3 Day affair.

Here are some pictures;
