Its been a long break after Bagan Lalang Touring. Due to tight working schedule and some personal matters to attend. Last nite Farid held a nite ride to Shah Alam. For me this would be coming back warm up session.

The ride start after Isya' at Lan's Bike Shop. We heading to Klang town and ride along Federal Highway to Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. The ride was very tough for me. Everything just not rite. The breathing technic, the mind state, the body strenght and the bike condition were not syncronized. All this had put me down and fall back far away from Farid. The breath was heavy and difficult. The mind keep yeilding to stop. The body try to push harder to catch up. And somemore the gearing are out of control. The situation held for so long.

From Seksyen 7 to Seksyen 8, there were a big climb to the pick. Slowly paddle up little by little. Get down to Seksyen 8 the were downhill. Fuhhh!! That's not for long, another climb was served rite after that. This time more harder than the first one. Ouchhh!! Push a bit harder to the pick and I'm there on top. Fuhhh!! for second time.

We took a break at Dataran for half an hour before continuing the ride back to Klang. On the way back, we climb to iCity. Like usual, the was heavy traffic up to the hill. iCity has become another recreational spot for Shah Alam and Klang people, and surrounding area till Petaling Jaya.

Down from iCity, we're heading back to Klang via Cannaught Bridge Power Station, Jalan Raja Nong to Sentosa and Uganda before stop at N'CHOM restaurant for break and supper. It was exhausted nite ride for me. I shouldn't stop cycling for long. Even I couldn't ride at least i have to jog or walk. Let the machine and engine in running condition. Huh!!!

Total distance cover are 38.61km around 3 hours ride including injury time. Enjoy ride, be safe.

Trail Kota Raja > Shah Alam

The sky look so clear and blue. No sign of rain. It was around 1545hrs.

"Good, could start early today", I said to myself. 

Took out the bike and plan heading to Shah Alam in my head. But which way to take? Should I took Federal Highway or Alam Impian. Since it was early, I used the route via Alam Impian which was riden before with Farid for nite ride. Alam Impian is another new planned middle to high cost housing area development. The infrastructure was developed first before other things. The road was complete and the public park almost done. Only the highway section still under construction but it's already open for traffics as alternative route.

It took me 55 minutes ride time to arrive Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. The sky has changed dramatically, so sudden the blue sky had turn to dark and lightning struck and flash. The rain pouring down a minute later. So heavy, thanks God you gave me a chance for a shelter. Waited for half an hour, the rain show a sign to stop. 

"Better, take off before its pouring back".

The ride continued to Klang via Federal Highway using motorist lane. Managed to arrive Jalan Demang 6, sharp at 1800hrs. Totally wet and splashy. Huh!!! Covered distance 29.67km at 22.23km/h average speed. End of route.

Enjoy ride, be safe.

Trail Taman Rakyat Klang

Taman Rakyat Klang is located in Taman Andalas Klang. The development of this park are extensively to maintain the green and reconstructing the secondary forest as wide as 81 acres of hill area.

For MTB bikers, the park serve you with several single trails. Each trail have their individual type of climbing and downhill. It is definitely suitable for training. Hence to sharpen the bikers skills, on handling the bike. And most important to build the one strength, physically and mentally.

Distance 24.35km

Saturday, the only day I could start early. Early start means longer time and longer route to be ride. I'm straight away to Bukit Jati to conquer the hill and get down to Jalan Raja Zainal. Across the river to the North Klang via Jalan Dato Mohd Sidin. This route is busy with long traffic and it took almost 5 minutes of mine to cross over. Ride along the road to Jalan Landasan, the first junction on the left after the short bridge. 

Keep moving toward till the X junction and take right headed to Jalan Batu Tiga Lama. This is the origin route that link Klang and Kuala Lumpur long time ago, before Lebuhraya Persekutuan (Federal Highway). Ride to Klang town via this historical route. It was side by side with Persiaran Tengku Ibrahim.

After CTKK Used Car turn left into Jalan Haji Hampas and another left back to X junction via Jalan Landasan (the other end). I'm now in Bukit Kuda area, next to Kampung Kuantan. At the X junction take right to Jalan Bukit Kuda which is crossing along Kampung Kuantan. There is one special place in Kampung Kuantan, Claypot Asam Pedas. A kampung stall with specialised in asam pedas. My favourite, asam pedas pari (stingray). 

Jalan Bukit Kuda will lead to Klang town and off at Jalan Batu Tiga. Then straight to Jambatan Kota, cross over to Pengkalan Batu and ride headed to Taman Diraja and after that Taman Rakyat Klang, Andalas. From there I used to follow usual route back to Jalan Demang 6 via Lorong Raja Jumaat 8 & 3 and Lorong Azmi till Lorong Pak Mahad.

Enjoy ride, be safe.
