MORE than 700 people, both young and old, took part in a bicycle expedition yesterday that was organised in conjunction with the Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah (PMMPMHAMB) Hospital’s 18th anniversary.
The big expedition was divided into two categories, the longest of which involved some 56 kilometres of cycling from the Perayaan field in front of the PMMPMHAMB Hospital in Tutong and ended at the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien through the Tutong-Muara and Tungku Highways.
The other category involved 20 kilometres of cycling starting at the Perayaan field in front of the PMMPMHAMB Hospital and through the Tutong highway, going around several villages before ending back at the field.
Before ending the expedition, participants of the 20km cycling also got the chance to stop at the Tutong Waterfront for a rest and some picture-taking.
Meanwhile, the 56km cycling expedition that ended at Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien certainly added colour to the Bandar Seri Begawan’s Bandarku Ceria – Day without Car.
Upon reaching the Brunei-Muara District, the participants also took the opportunity to make a stopover at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) for some rest and to take photos together, not only among the participants but also with participants of the UBD Convo Run & Cycle 2016 that was held yesterday.
Participants of the 56km cycling were also given certificates of appreciation to mark the completion of their expedition.
