"Of course we faced weather conditions such as rain on our rides but our biggest challenge was the Kalabakan road between Keningau and Tawau. It required our total concentration. Luckily the weather conditions at that time were dry and there was no rain. "If the weather had turned bad, then definitely there would be problems as any road potholes would be filled with water then and if we were to ride into one we would risk falling. We only encountered rainy weather at Kudat and Lahad Datu and Tawau."According to Awie, they have also made a recording of their Sabah road trip journey and would be providing a copy to Sabah Tourism Board as well. Meanwhile, K4MI Mutiara Global Managing Director cum main organiser Datuk Sharulnizad Suboh thanked the State Government and its various agencies for its assistance in making the Wings Big Bike Ride Sabah tour and coming Wing's Sabah December concert a success.
