20220820: GM > Jenjarom

Total Riders: 4

Journey Covered: 73km

Per the planning that we had, supposed we start to rolling by 7.15am. However I overslept and told the Captain to start rolling by 7.30am instead. Luckily I already pre prepared last night and hence I could start to drive to the meeting point quite fast. Once reached to GM Klang, quickly get ready with the gear and without warming up, we just start peddling for the day.

From here we heading to KESAS using the motorcycle lane. Though it's Saturday, I would say it's not many motorcycle using the lane, and even some of the motorcyclist using the car lane making this cycling path even better. From here till we reach Jenjarom, the weather just kind to us today.

From KESAS, we ride to meet another rider and continue our journey. We passed thru Rimbayu and heading towards BOH plantation. Everytime passing BOH, I'm quite amazed that there is a tea plantation in the middle of town, and what's more it's not at highland like Cameron Highland. From here we turned into Jalan Kampung Sri Cheeding. 

Frankly speaking, this road only consists of 2 lanes, to and flo. Since it's Saturday, I guess the traffic is more congested than on Sunday. Cyclist going thru this road should be riding in single file. And there are a lot of hump along this road. From here we turned into Jalan Helang.

From here, there is about 10km to reach our destination. Everything going great for the day. Thinking of the breakfast that I'm going to have, the leg just continue doing the action. Not long after that, we reached to our destination. 

Once at the destination point, we just hanged our bike on the rack provided. The stall having quite crowded, giving hint that the breakfast is liked by many people. What is famous would be the porridge. There are lot of choices and I would say the price is quite reasonable as well. 

After had the yummylicous breakfast, it's time we move on back to the starting point again, GM Klang. It's almost the same route that came before, so it's kind of doing U-turn. By the time we reached the starting point, it's almost 11am. And weather seems like it's going to rain by then. True enough, after unpack everything and changed our clothes, it's start to rain again.

20220521: GM Klang -> Rimbayu -> Jenjarom

 Total Riders: 6

Total Journey: 68KM

It's been a while since the last ride I had with Captain... and today just need to make it happens. When I had reached GM Klang, Captain already ready and was alone there. I thought I'm late to reach to the starting point, but to my surprise we reached there earlier. Not long after that, another 2 riders (a couple) reached. 

By the time we start our ride, the sun already way up. We strolling along Kesas motorbike lane and it was wonderful pace. It's under the tree shades and everyone was gung-ho as of full of energy. We exit Canal Garden, heading to Rimbayu. There, we meet up another rider. There onwards all of us moving together. 

Not long as the usual route, we would be passing the our first pit stop. That's the BOH plantation at Bukit Cheeding. When the first time I passing this route, it's quite amazing that there is tea plantation at the so called city centre. Though I never been inside the plantation itself, but the signboard does tell something.

We continue our journey thru the kampung route, which I really like it. Again when we turned inside Jalan Helang the road does not really has a lot of cars. This kind of route really make me appreciate more on those peaceful and serene environment of the kampung style. 

I started to feels the heat along the way. Generally we were experiencing the heat wave season. From time to time, the train head was checking if any of us couldn't follow the pace or left behind. Really cycling bring out the comradeship we had, and make friendship more meaningful. The pace slowing down in order for everyone keeping the pace and in single line form. Soon we reached to our destination, the famous Fo Guang Shan in Jenjarom.

Of course we didn't ride to the temple, but we just reached at the outer layer of the temple area where the food court is. We had our breakfast there, and I really the porridge being offered here. Lot of varieties that we could choose from. 

Once fully rested, we start our journey back. I could feels the heat really taking the toll. Even one of us showered himself with water before the journey started to cool himself. Somewhere in Rimbayu, we took a short break. The heat really unbearable at that time. We just detour to cut short the route, and quickly heading back to our starting point.
