DECEMBER MONTH OF FUN RIDE

Its all about fun and health conscious when we ride in any fun ride, myself rode in Kayuhan Sihat 1 Malaysia jointly organized by Kementerian Kesihatan and Balai Polis Bandar Tun Hussin Onn on Sunday, 11th Dec. Estimated of 900 riders took part and total of 200 prizes were drawn for lucky winners. Ride started at parking lot Lake Valley of Bandar Tun Hussin Onn and only flag off around 9am; it’s common to start late after opening speech and little entertainment ceremony for this kind of ride. Total distance was 10km and ended the ride around 10.00am.


Jogging is norm for residents

....lucky draws were the main attractions of the ride

It was observed the fun ride is no more fun when kids were riding zig zag on the road exposed to oncoming traffic (ignorant traffic disregard traffic control) and even fell after failed to keep pace with their parents.

Just piece of advice to those parents accompanied their kids for this ride, do accompany your kids until the ride complete and don’t leave them behind. Kids are easily got head injuries will lead to death besides minor injuries.

There will be another ride at Putrajaya on 17th Dec, organized by Tourism Malaysia in conjuction with Cuti-cuti 1 Malaysia. Email at putrajaya.bikeride@gmail.com or contact 012-6785279 for further info.

Monday blues solo ride within Larut Matang Selama district

I rode on Monday morning Dec 5th, from Kamunting to Semanggol made a way back via Kg Dew and gave me a total distance of 36km. This is my first ride outbound Kamunting unlike my routine ride from Kamunting to Lake Garden.


Took left to Semanggol


Easy climb at Gunung Semanggol, around 8am

Rode on tarmac and undulating in between Changkat Larah to Semanggol, the rest are flat. Somewhere at Kg Dew, spotted a jetty for fire flies(kelip-kelip) sight seeing and officially launched July this year.


Giving up was not an option, another 20km for Taiping


Banner for fire flies sight seeing

Prices are on display, are they really reasonable?

..have to board boat at night to see fire flies

Approximate 27km, took a stop for gents at PLUS office section N4 and met my former client as well as my staff. I was there in 2001 maintained the North South Expressway stretch from Changkat Jering to Jawi. I have seen changes in rank and faces of them after 10 years, some of them being promoted and deployed to other section while others remain in the office. May Allah SWT bless them with good health and prosperity to perform their duty.


...I was here before

Insyallah, there will be another ride from Kamunting to Kuala Gula, to have dinner at floating restaurant name JS Muara Restoran Terapung Kuala Gula for delicious soft crab (actually hard shell removed).
