In fact, not a few visitors to Galunggung have tried out the cycling track, either through the main route or the special Downhill bike path.
“Holidays, especially Sundays, now most of the tourists who come are cyclists. Both athletes and ordinary people,” said Dudung Suhaeri, Manager of the Galunggung tourist attraction cluster to HR Online, Sunday (13/6/2021).
Dudung admitted that with the Downhill bicycle track which is specifically for athletes and beginners, the number of tourists has increased since 2020.
“Although there are many visitors on this holiday, we still carry out very strict health protocols. Especially for immigrants from outside the region by showing a Covid-19 free letter,” he said.
Furthermore, Dudung added, it is planned that Mount Galunggung will be used as the venue for the International Downhill championship.
“However, along with the increasing transmission of Covid-19, there is no further certainty,” he said.
Meanwhile, Solihin, a cyclist from Tasikmalaya, admitted that during this pandemic, he deliberately preferred to cycle to the mountains.
Because, according to him, the mountain air is still clean and cool. At the same time, it is also to increase the body’s immune system, so that stamina is maintained to avoid the Covid-19 virus.
“I purposely came to this Mount Galunggung obwis, because the atmosphere is still natural and fresh with lots of trees, so it’s fresher. In addition, a vacation using a bicycle can maintain the body’s immune system, “he said. (Apip/R5/HR-Online)
