Bike Riding at Lake Toba, North Sumatra – Wonderful Indonesia

Trail bike Riding at Lake Toba, North Sumatra – Indonesia : A Supervulcano History on Earth.For 2 years now, I'v needed to do a cycling outing to Lake Toba in North Sumatra, where the area has exceptionally difficult tracks, trail and downhills, with natural air and icy climate. With my arm still broken, this second time brought about by a cycling trek to New Zealand 10 months back, the three of us, Thea, Troy and I, touched base at Kuala Namu Airport, Medan (the Capital of West Sumatra) at 11:00 PM. We went straight down to stack our bikes into a smaller than usual truck to proceed with our adventure to Lake Toba, around a 3 hour drive. We touched base at 3:00 AM at the Hotel Danau Toba in Tongging, despite everything we had the chance to eat Durian, the well known Indonesian natural product 

With short of what one hours rest, we gathered our bikes, had breakfast and stacked them into the small truck. At that point at 9:00 AM we went to Haranggaol area, the beginning area, at a rise of around 1600 mtrs above observe level, the track was sandy soil, brimming with free little and enormous stones. The entire track was steep downhill with numerous a bend. As we touched base at Hutatingkir locale, we entered Saribu Dolok track. 

We again confronted energizing difficulties of completely soak downhill with more bends. Likewise, the single track close to the edge of Lake Toba was truly wide. The track was charming on the grounds that it could be taken at full speed. We could do this excursion in 2 ways, riding all through the edge of Lake Toba by completing at Tongging or climbing to a machine pontoon to Tongging for 40 minutes, we picked climbing our bikes to the vessel, so we could appreciate the awesome perspective of Lake Toba and the environment. The aggregate separation from Harranggaol to the harbor was around 25 km yet in all it was 40 km on the off chance that you kept riding appropriate to Tongging. 

We again stacked our bikes for the lift to Simalem Resort, where they have 2 short yet marvelous downhill trails. DH One Tree Hill track of 1.4 km, with a beginning stage and rise of 1800 mtrs, with excellent a scene that helped us to remember when we rode in Queenstown, New Zealand 10 months prior. Lake Toba is so like Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown, NZ. We entered DH One Tree Hill track at fast, streaming and rolling and in the meantime appreciating the stunning delightful scene made by God. The track was exceptionally extraordinary with extremely soak drops and bounced. From that point forward, rather than riding the DH Pangambatan track of 1.55 km, we chose to ride the Kuda trail track of 1.4 km which was simple and short with the night environment. We completed precisely at the eatery and bistro inside Simalem Resort complex 

After just about 12 hours riding, we dozed in a tent at Simalem Forest outdoors ground. The climate was frosty, yet with a decent supper, pit fire and lager, it was awesome.The following day, we arranged for the trek home to Medan to Kuala Namu airport,back to the city. 

There are many testing trails and downhill tracks around Lake Toba with outside air, cool climate and stunning scene. It is an "absolute necessity" for MTB riders everywhere throughout the world to visit there. Indonesia has such a large number of various characters of XC, trail and downhill on the island of Java, Sumatra and Bali.
