It was a busy week and by the weekend, I am technically longing for a ride.
A few quick exchanges of fb messenger with my buddy Shahril, has resulted in a ride that look like this:
We met at R&R Rawang northbound and proceed to Kuala Kubu Bharu through Bukit Sentosa. From there, its a scenic route around Sungai Selangor fresh water reservoir.
We continue riding up to Fraser Hill and have a quick breakfast there. The weather at this point is misty and cloudy but no rain yet
At this point, based on the good weather experienced throughout the journey, we decided to push on to Sungai Koyan and Ringlet, although acknowledging that only on last Wednesday, there was a mud slide and flash flood that kills 3 people. Indeed we are ready to scale Mount Brinchang if the weather permits.
Raub town is buzzing with activities as we passed that afternoon but the weather is still good with only one or two spots of light rain along the way. When we entered Felda Sungai Koyan to Pos Betau junction, the road is amazingly good and has only little traffic
It is not until we have crossed into Cameron Highland district border, the sky is beginning to darken and light but steady shower of rain water begin to descend. We passed through Bertam Valley swiftly and the devastation from the recent mishap is clearly visible along the Bertam river.
We had lunch at Brinchang and decided not to push on to Mount Brinchang as it is raining steadily that afternoon. So we turn back to Tanah Rata and head straight to Tapah
It was raining heavily and the road is literally filled with mud water. The murky water were flowing from both sides of the road and fallen trees and logs are everywhere. We rode really slow at this section and keep a steady eye on incoming traffic as the road had became very narrow and watery.
We made it back to the North South Highway safely and made a stop at R&R Tapah
It was a very short but memorable journey and all smiles are onboard!
