OVER 70 cyclists gathered yesterday morning for a 45-kilometre expedition in the Belait District in celebration of the 32nd National Day.
The event was co-organised by the Kampong Sungai Liang Mosque Committee, Kampong Sungai Liang Village Consultative Council, Geotrax Company and the Belait Cycling Club with the assistance of the Royal Brunei Police Force.
Haji Abu Hassan bin Haji Ibrahim, Secretary of the Kampong Sungai Liang Mosque Committee, said that the event is the first for 2016.
“We hope to foster a better relationship especially among the cycling enthusiasts of the Sultanate and to promote activities to keep fit and stay healthy,” said Haji Abu Hassan.
Haji Abu Hassan added that cyclists from the Brunei-Muara District and Tutong District also participated in the event to support the campaign of enlivening the spirit of patriotism.

He mentioned that the event was also organised for the residents of Kampong Sungai Liang and hoped that more events will be hosted in the village.
“We hope this event won’t be the first and the last as other organisations are welcome to use the village facilities to host health events such as this,” said the secretary.
After blessing a prayer, the event commenced with a warm-up session at the Sungai Liang Forest Recreation Park, followed by a group photo session prior to the start of the journey.
Cyclists had to make their way to the Lumut-Seria Bypass through Jalan Perindustrian Sungai Bera and make a pit stop at the Anduki Jubilee Recreational Park before heading back to Kampong Sungai Liang through Jalan Kampong Lumut.
