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.
