This ride was the first ride for all
the cbcbc members. It was a bit arduous ride but overall it was an
enjoyable ride for all the members. Members meet at Yoyo’s café
and starts the ride from Sungai Ara’s route.
Remember at initial
stage when cycling along the route to carpet, on the right hand side
we can see stream running downwards, members took the right turn to a
small path and there we go towards the trilled and arduous path.
Most of it are single tracks. It started with a steep ride and then
comes the pushing and carrying of bicycles. As usual members will
grumbling and cursing of the path but also with jokes and laughs.
Our
super hero Mr. Goh as usual will make opposite comments eg, “ai
say, like that only-ah, and siam siam, I’m coming, don’t block my
way”. All this “karp siau” , jokes and laughs make the ride
more fun and laughter.
It was a good day with cloudy and
just a bit drizzling in the middle of the ride. There are many ups
and downs along the hills and some are really steep.
So members have
to decide whether to push up or push down depends on their skills
and experience when facing a steep route. There are some path members
have to enter a prohibited area but it is safe even some places met
dogs and also the owner of the house.
At one stage members have to
crawl out from an owner’s area which was surrounded by spikes
fence.
The last part was really a bonus
given after a tough ride with waterfalls awaiting for members to soak
in. Some of the members do not want to miss this opportunity to play
with the cool fresh water that really make them refresh and said
it’s worth to come to this nice place.
After that members adjourned to
makan at Relau market place. Cbcbc members would like to thank Chris
Soon and Chan Eng Kooi for guiding them to experience a wonderful
ride that never try before.
