This was easy and lazy sunday morning ride to Shah Alam. Using the usual route Sg Kandis, Alam Impian to Dataran Shah Alam via LKSA. Less traffic but still have to pay extra attention while using highway. Some highway are discreed to cyclist due to safety issue like PLUS. It is illegal to ride the bycicle in this highway but few are aware about it. As for me all highway are not for cyclist, just for motorist. Unless there is a lane for motorcycle and bycicle like Federal, Guthrie and KESAS highway. Still there are not so safe for cyclist but at least the lane purposely for two wheelie.  



Inside SUK hill park

From Dataran Shah Alam we headed straight to SUK. SUK located on top of the hill area. Next to the SUK, at the bottom there is a small swamp area that has been developed to be a recreation park. Equiped with tarmac and betumin pavement for people to walk, jog, and cycle .. the pavement was build along to hill and go thru some bushes area, rubber tree area and link to other parks at other side of the hill. The landscap geography flat with small climb and down. It is shade along the pavement, very please to ride. But be aware of monkeys.

Enjoy ride, be safe ..

Trail > Alam Budiman > Bukit Ramlee

ALAM BUDIMAN July 01 - This trail was my favorite last time. Introduce by abg Nasir TM. Until today it still be my favorite offroad trail. Accessible from Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam and Meru, Klang. Surrounded by hills, the trail offer stages of climb from moderate to not so hard type. Means it is ride-able if you have guts. As to name here, there are Bukit Botak, Geenhill, Bukit Altantuya (+ the extension), Bukit Cempedak, the famous pineapple orchard Bukit Ramlee, Dragon Back and Kampung Budiman.

As for me, this ride is a warming up and small preparation before hit Thomson Trail, Cameron Highland scheduled on July 8th. Up to the date, this will be the 5th Edition of Thomson Trail Ride organized by KayuhBeb. Hopefully i could make it this time after miss all the rides from First till Fourth Edition. 

Greenhill - Single trail climb and downhill

After long break of offroad, it seem like I'm still able to paddle up the hill without TNT (turun and tolak). The trail is much more better than the first time I've tried it. Credit to NerdCycle and Alam Budiman riders, who's responsible to open, repair and maintain this trail. 

Downhill lead to the gate of the dam 

Climb at Bukit Altantuya

Bukit Altantuya's climb start with tarmac road. The road had been claimed by nature from left and right of the side. Quite tough but if started with the correct gear it won't be a problem paddle up to the top. Gear pondan? Not a necessary. I'll save if for other climb if needed.

One of the check point that offer a nice view

Downhill to main road

Downhill sound exciting. But it also offer something to remember. As an senior(not to mention old) rider, I always put safety in front of all. Better slow than sorry. Admit there is some ketaq sense while get down of the hill.

Gems of Bukit Ramlee

The pineapple of Bukit Ramlee is so sweet. After all the climbs and sweats, it pays when you have a slice of it. But one slice never enough. A plate of them also won't be enough. Other than this, Bukit Ramlee offer the a special Jumbo Pineapple Cincau juice to all riders who could make it to the top. It kind of trophy or reward to taste it.

Group photo - it compulsory for next 'visa' application

Get back to Alam Budiman thru Dragon Back, Jalan Paip and Kampung Budiman. Almost 5 hours easy ride to complete the route. Started at 8am and finished at 1pm. After this ride, a conclusion of my current performance overall are still - OK. But mindset must be find tune before the ride.

Enjoy ride, be safe.

WitWit and Papa

WitWit is the shortened version of the phrase "What is That, What Is That" this is when referring to an extremely ugly or weird looking person. My sweet WitWit It's been a long time I didn't update this blog.   Busy myself with nothing.  Just live my life with the family, the never finish works and assignments, and unplanned rides. Rides ?!!  There are some rides made along the year. But they were only solo and small rides. No Jamborees, No Touring and No Events rides attended in 2011. Ramadhan is around the corner. July 20th perhaps. During Ramadhan maybe there will be less ride along the fasting month. Will take that opportunity to write about the past rides. Insya allah.
