Trail FRIM Part II

This trail report is quite long this time. Previously we were 100% concentrate to climb and to downhill. Now it is time for refreshment aka coffee session. Bon take us out from FRIM compound headed to a Malay warung. We took this time to discuss, share, and exchange about those trails that we have went through. The important of warming up, using a right gear while climbing, do not touch your brake disc while it hot with bare hand, setup an iMapMyRide account, as an example to say. Also we discuss about the next trail that we are going to explore after this. And not forgotten to humiliate few friends who are unable to join the ride and those who have gave up the bike. Sorry guys, it just fun and full with lessons.

    Fuhyoo!! @ Knowledge Cafe

Next must route to explore is the famous single of Dream's Trail.The trail s ride-able but little bit technical and tactical plus minus. It is full with roots and slippy. The slip might be due to my high pressure of front tyre, plus the trail is wet.

The trail end somewhere in the middle of nowhere and joint to regular trail. The was another group waiting for their team member. Someone we have met in Dream Trail earlier. The port consider full and we decide to leave for another port. Where to ?!! Waterfall, yeah!!!

Cool

The rides are in rest mode

The waterfall will be in a must spot to stop every time we ride in FRIM. It is cool and so refresh. All sweats and tears vanish along the cool flow of the water. Better prepared another short or boxer to wear after this. We spend almost an hour here till we felt hungry again. Next pit stop is official kedai mamak of FRIM. I took meehun with sambal bilis tempe and a banana this time, previously I just having two half boiled eggs only.

Lunch time

The clock show 1200hrs after third break, it is time to leave. FRIM has lots of trail and excitement. It's green is so peaceful and calm. All troubles for the whole weeks at the workplace has gone, even for temporary but it helps alot. Sure we will come back again to ride here.

The route not end here yet. The ride back to PKKN was hilarious and crazy. Everyone cut each other to take lead. I managed once before we reach Steroid Hill, the downhill was fast and bumpy. At one point my brake didn't work accordingly. Of course the brake has clamp the disc, but the bike wouldn't stop. Feels like losing control, the split second decision to make. I knew, it is my time. To apply the viral stop technic of 'brake hutan'. Fuhhh, succeed. How's it work? You can't imagine it and I won't reveal it.

Second part of down hill was crazier and scary. No grip at all on front and rear tyres.  I just let the bike went down the hill as it wish. This is what we ask before, this is what we got. Thrill and excitement and experience and punctured tyre. Huh!!

We get to PKKN still in one piece. Thanks God, for a safe ride. End of route. All images credited to Anat and taking via his iPhone.

Enjoy ride, be safe.
