Gopeng Peanut Search - A Nomad Adventure Event

LATEST UPDATES...

After weeks of sweat & mud, we have marked out more than 80km of riding trails. This includes hilly terrains east of Gua Tempurung heading towards some interesting waterfalls and scenic sandy rides around the ex-mining pools of Kinta Valley.

Besides the GPS event, Nomad Adventure is proud to host Syarul @ The Race Boy who will be running special BikeTrial Demo & Clinic on Sat 14 Nov from 2.00pm to 6.00pm.

More than RM10,000 worth of prizes are up for grabs! We wish to thank our event sponsors for their contributions: - TEVA, Corezone, Redbull, Prospecs, Camelbak, GPS-Hypermart & Antabax. We wish to also welcome Cycling Asia as our Official Media Partner.

We're very excited to organise GPS, as this event introduces a new cycling concept in Malaysia with riders choosing their own riding routes. Participants will enjoy a variety of riding levels based on their chosen trail and also the opportunity to avoid bottlenecks.

Our latest website updates include FAQs, trail pictures, Base Camp info & goodie bag collections timings. Please take note that we have also brought forward the event schedule to accommodate outstation riders.
