14 riders(from Cameron, Penang and Ipoh) set out at 5.15am towards Kuala Lipis on June 6, armed with variety of lightings and clothings the overcome the darkness and coldness.
Arrived Bertam Valley at 730am after 40km of riding for breakfast and heading towards some off roading on yet to be completed highway. Experienced the company of some orang asli kids on the way
Travelled ~60km on a lone unclompleted rolling highway, That was a long and lonely highway !!
Total distance for the day 167km
The ride from Kuala Kubu Baru to Tapah was long and hot. Had couple of stops with some very tired riders....

Most riders was still fresh at lunch time, which is unusual from past experience using the same route. There was a debate on the destination for the ride....Kuala Lipis, Raub and someone even suggested Gua Musang. Finally decided for Raub due to the attraction to climb Frazer hill for those who have not been there....but distance back to Cameron seems to be sidelined and most was not aware that there will be 2 major climb (the other being from Tapah to Cameron). Anyway decision made.....its RAUB.

Sunday June 7, Journey started at 5.15am again in complete darkness to ride up Fraser hill. Arrived Fraser hill entrance at 7.30am for breakfast. Thank you to our support crew. All the food just taste so delicious
The ride from Kuala Kubu Baru to Tapah was long and hot. Had couple of stops with some very tired riders....Last climb of the day 80km uphill to Kampung Raja. Group was split into 2 due to riders' schedule. Finally arrived at destination and 9.30pm and 11.00pm respectively. 11 riders made it for the 238km. so total distance for the 2 days was a challenging 405km. The ride was relatively smooth except for one puncture and one "lost and later found" rider.
