Distance from batam to Galang Bahru end: 77km (one way)
Avg speed : 15km/h
My first skate to batam, riau islands, Indonesia.
Barelang highway, 6 bridges linking Batam to other islands, Rempang, Galang and Galang Bahru.
Endless road of rolling hills that I can't remember what is like skating on flat road. So much braking that I have to change my rubber ball on my westssup pole. Luckily I brought spare. Good part is that the road is damn smooth, one of smoothest I ever skated on. Comparable to Cuba smooth silky roads.
Rain caught up in Rempang, a chance to take a long break. A hour of waiting for rain to stop and road to dry up.
If rempang got endless roads of rolling hills, Galang Bahru got the steepest slopes. Last part, there was construction on going, roads were tore up. Ended up walking last few km. Reached Roundabout where road ends. Turn left and few metre of gravel, there is a kelong where I can have a good meal of fresh seafood and sleep in the kelong with the sea directly below me.
Made my way the same way the next morning. Concluded my Batam skate
