This route is very famous among MTB enthusiast especially to
those residing in Rawang and Sungai Buaya. Going through Waterfall estate, orang
asli settlement and a few agricultural land, it is one of the most convenience
route right at our door step.
It is a relatively short route but offers plenty of
challenges and if you are riding it in an early morning, there are sections
that look like it is not Selangor. We'll get into that shortly.
Syahril and I met at Caltex petrol station in Bandar
Coalfield (still under construction – today) at 8am and we make a move towards
Bestari Jaya and Batu Arang through an old estate road.
We entered the offroad section behind Saujana Rawang around
8.30am
and crossed this bridge, a sign that we are entering Kampung Orang Asli Sungai
Kelubi.
Behind this village, there is a shortcut through small forest reserve with a slight
elevation
Grass planting made this area looks like New Zealand but
without the cows.
Being a popular route among MTB enthusiast, Waterfall estate
road is bustling with bicyclist
Waterfall estate has no actual waterfall, just like Pantai Hospital in Bangsar without a beach : )
We made it to Sungai Buaya around 9.15am
and went to the entrance of Rawang bypass road.
When it is completed, this could be among the
most scenic stretch in Selangor.
Warning - Active construction site. Enter at your own risk! 
The elevated section is still under construction and we went
under it.
We completed this stretch around 10am and decided it is still too early to call it a day.
Decided to head to Empangan Batu and
Genting Highland and met some crowd of bikers en route
The weather is cold and windy when we arrived around 11.00am
and we had coffee before heading back through Karak around 12.30pm.
