KOTA DAMANSARA - SG.BULOH - RRI TRAIL

HI guys,

How are you guys doing, its been some time off the scene.

Feels like a long time out of riding mood, suddenly, my neighbor call for a ride on a sunday morning, with no direction or idea to ride! While in the toilet at 7 am on a sunday morning, all geared up for an off road ride, but have no bloody idea of whereabout. This is due to our normal route had been leveled by some development in saujana putra. We have our riding place! Then, i sent a sms to our buddy, KIT!

And off we are on our way to kota damansara, we have problem fixing the bike into the rack, we will skip that here, i would like to discuss more on the track/trail. We arrived at the meeting point, segi college, kota damansara, turn in from the petronas, next to segi and you will see a cova square and you park you vehicle there.

we enlight the bike from our car, and start riding, very excited as the trail is new to me and my friends, stress cause we are 30 minutes late, and still we need to have a power stick before the ride..

once we enter the trail, there are 3 of our members waiting and welcoming us, with a smiling face even though we are damn late. and they only says that we need to catch up a bit, as the team is at the first rest spot.

I heard so much about this trail and they says its dangerous and slippery with all the roots, well, i find it easy to ride a little of these and that. the root is not a big problem to ride, unless u speed like on the highway la bro.

The tour leader says that, this trail consist of some xc, some uphill, some down hill and some technical.

I found it to be very true, the xc is perfect for my tbolt, the uphill is nice, long and not too steep, the downhill too, nice, the best is the technical jump, attainable by me, i think you all can do it.

taking a rest after 3rd stop.power stick time, and let me warn you here, there are a lots of mosquitoes!! a lot of them, damn lot!! and those are aedes! no joke, they attack you by the hundreds and you can see their stripes. The bite you thru the shirt and i was on mosquitoes repellent before the ride, i know there is a lot of mosquitoes at a rubber plantation, but this is hell! they still attack me on the repellent hand. No use! bring the whole bottle. but the worst bit area is my back...next to my camelbag. I kena teruk bro! more than 50 bites. i thnk if i gonna go into fever in this 2 days, i will be admitted. i am gonna be kena dengue.

Nice downhill here, very nicely attainable, kacang for some of you, but for amateur, you will like it, it really pump up the adrenaline.

a nice ride, finish with a straight ride home..

Pro..

very nice for all level. if you get used to the trail, you can do a double round, you will never get bored.

Cons

The mosquitoes!

No joke, its like being attacked by bees.

If you have seen tv on anti dengue drive, please ask them not to waste time clearing the longkang! or used tyres. Its here that breed all the dengue, and the government is not doing anything. Cmon, rubber estate, is the best ground for aedes breeding. You are asking for suicide, if not protected with repellent. Too bad, people are paying hundreds of thousand to buy a new house next to RRI at kota damansara!! haha, i think it will be ham kah dengue !!
