Touring > Kuala Lumpur

As per planned, out from Kemensah we straight to Kuala Lumpur. But the weather not on our side. It was rained, pouring along the way. Lunch at Asam Pedas Kampung Pandan while waiting the rain to stop. Around 3 pm, it showed sign of shine but far away from bright. Wait another minutes to hour and wait again.

At last ..

Trail Kemensah

Bro Farid and I was on assignment to scout potential trails for our next project. We have planned 2 rides today. Offroad in the morning and road in the evening. There were 2 options for us to offroad, Kemensah, Hulu Klang or FRIM, Kepong. But we decide to try Kemensah, as it is totally fresh for both of us. While the road session had been confirmed as tour around in the city of Kuala Lumpur. With objective to overview and get some snapshots, we headed to Kuala Lumpur early this morning.

Arrived at Kpg Kemensah around 8 am, we have joined Mejar Fauzi and his son together with other riders from ET as to name Jai Downhill, Jut Usman, Azrul Merida and Najib Ashburn. After short ice breaking, breakfast and brief, we start our ride of Trail Kemensah. The ride destination, Bukit Sofea where the Air Terjun Kubang Gajah located. Sound refreshing, and absolute motivation along the trail.

Trail Bukit Kapar

Received a SMS from Wak Rosni on Thursday about the Meru FunRace. The race track would be around 20km plus minus of road and offroad. Overall cross-country trail thru Kampung Bukit Kapar. Rideable and totally fun (minus) race.

Since we don't have any new trail to ride, this sound reasonable. No registration fee include, just sumbangan ikhlas to get plate number. Medals for top ten cyclists and lucky draw waiting at the finishing point. This must be fun, really.

Briefing and Doa before we start

Gadget check

First hill to climb
