Virgin FRIM offroad ride

My virgin off road ride begun at 10am just now. I thought oredi tapau because already past the time of meeting up at 8.30...then the phone rang.. 

At first a bit hesitate... rather than lay eggs at home.. 

Wow.. The bunch of veterans were no joke dude. We parked at Hospital Sg, Buloh instead of usual FRIM entrance. So safe few bucks each for the entrance fee for car and also per head. Now the ride is kinda like reversing a bit lah.. We journeyed thru those nursery and kusta area.. A 2km warm up ler before hitting off road for a steep ride. Hell man.. Let it burn... ahaha.. then the bloody journey was fun. So we actually reach the Salem Hill or the reknown Steroid Hill.. It was name Salem hill because once a upon the Salem TV ads was shoot here as I was told. Mak Datuk.. It was one hellavu stretch up there man. So few mari tolak basikal is inevitable!! Then we reached up lah and almost killed ourselves.. Then  I saw a familiar faces.. Ahaha. Ah Soon.. That fella had quit photography sometime ago and was there cycling. Amazingly he did it quite some time back. So the steroid hill top was a 10 mins break before we proceed to zzzrooom all the way down again..

Mampus nak gila the descending and lobang lobang is ready for u to make that flying stunts!! My break was like ZERRRRCCCHHHH all day way down. 

Then back to the one round steroid hill meeting point and we ride AGAIN.. This time after some trail, the gila gang decided to give us a technical trail. Yup.. with a 1 - 2 feet clearance path and lotsa roots and trees blocking.. There the fun begin. and one small slip, timberrrr down the 30 feets you go lah... aahaha.. The part is... trekking was more scary and I find cycling across it was rather syioking man. Of course I do occasionally take some small fall.. but I havent really fell off the bike yet... I like the sensation of zooming thru the jungle trail man.. Anyway, some of my paint wording also kena.. as the branches and mighty rocks are always welcoming you.. yet... the sensation of speeding thru it and fleeing it is something you want to explore further.. Then we came off and have some food at the FRIM center and restaurant there.

There were bunch of gals ready to change and makeup with bunch of photographers. We took a 20 mins break or less and proceed to the next challenge. 

The other trails was kinda easy now... for few kms lah.. then we reach to another technical trail again and accordingly this is tougher and longer than the first one. yea man.. golek keluar you will be like the indian movie flers goleking all the way .... it was indeed a tough one.. Some part I tolak due to super steep with huge rocks.. and passing over the fallen trees. Then the downhill is here... the downhill was made in such a way that you gotta u turn and corner steep.. Guess what ... the corner corner gua gelecek half lah.. takut mati mah.. But Azhar took a great fall.. when he break depan kuat kuat... Circus style terbang depan.. but not so bad lah.. Then reach a more rocky roads ...it was the waterfall oredi.. there we met the angmoh couples with their few kids cycling.. Damn there was this attachment to the bicycle where you could put a toddler in and they could sit nicely in it.. Unfortunately, I do not have my camera with me... ( Now it is raining cats and dogs outside again ) .... 

There were actually quite some healthy elderly and ppl walking up the hill. So we lepak at the waterfall.. Some rendam in ...some soak their legs and puff their cigars to "oxygenate" their body.. 

After a while, continue balik thru this double track and back to where the steroid hill is.. and we ride back to the car... and it was oredi 3pm.. 

It was real fun and I wish to do it again real soon with some riders of course. 

Ok.. .mari sama sama berbasikal.... 

Count down 3 more hours for a wedding dinner. 

Gotta get some rest now.
