The bash start is in the new @Enstek housing estate (Bandar Enstek), just to the East of the Sepang circuit.
If you have a favourite route to the KLIA airport then feel free to take that route & divert to the Sepang circuit, and on to the bash site. The directions below describe the route from the North-South Highway (Seremban hwy).
Allow 1 hour for travel from KL (from Mid Valley area), more if you are prone to getting lost...


Head south from KL towards Seremban on the N-S Highway.
Take exit number 215 signposted for Nilai / Pajam / Sepang. Pay Sammy Velu his toll money, and reset your trip meter here!

1.6 km: Meet a T-junction at end of highway, wait for the timed traffic lights, turn right to Nilai and follow the road.
3.0 km: Traffic lights, go straight (signed KLIA / Sepang).
3.7 km: Approach roundabout, go straight / 2nd Exit. From here you can follow the signs for @enstek. After the roundabout there are signs for Salak Tinggi / Sepang / KLIA.
4.8km: Pass a Petronas garage on your right, and at..
5.2km go straight through some more traffic lights.
7.2km: Another roundabout, go straight (2nd exit) signposted for @enstek.

8.0 km: Take the left exit sliproad for road B48 signposted for Kajang, Sepang, Bandar Enstek. Do not miss this turn - it comes up quickly after the roundabout! If you do miss it, you'll end up at KLIA.

8.4 km: At the end of the sliproad, turn left. Signed for Bandar Enstek & Kota Sierramas.
10.6km: Cross over a bridge on the approach to a T-junction with traffic lights. Go straight, signposted to Salak Enstek Sepang. Follow the road through the busy village.
13.1km: Take left exit at crossroads for Bandar Enstek. Follow signs for @Enstek.
14.5 km: Approach roundabout in front of large mosque with blue dome. Take the 2nd exit (2 o'clock, i.e. turning right) signposted for Bdr. Enstek / Kg LBJ / Seremban. Follow this road, ignore all the crossings & crossroads, follow signs for Bandar Enstek. You will now be entering the @Enstek estate, with a large water tank on the left of the road.
At 15.9 km the road swings abruptly to the right - follow the road & continue on.
16.9km: Crossroads by the Akademi Audit Negara - Turn Left here & follow the road.

The silver hashmobile will be parked up on the verge along this road - you may need to go up & do a U-turn and use the other side of the road if parking gets full.

Park here - there are some very small trees but essentially this parking does not have any shade.

GPS Reference: 2°45'1.4"N, 101&deg45'43.6"E

Alternative directions from KLIA:
If you do find yourself taking the highway directly to KLIA, make your way to the bash area by following the perimeter highway as signposted to the LCC Terminal and the Sepang race circuit. Taking distances from the turning for LCC from the main highway:
0.6 km - roundabout. Go straight, follow highway for Sepang circuit.
6.7 km - Turn left at junction before the Sepang circuit, follow the road (circuit is now on your right).
10.0 km: Crossroads. Go straight here into Bandar Enstek - and continue to follow directions from the "13.1km" directions as listed above.

The Ride: Long ride approx. 26 - 28km, short ride half that length at 13 - 15km.
The Route: Fast 'n' Furious Sepang singletracks and doubletracks, twisting through a scenic mix of rubber and palm estates. The route is mostly under shade but there are some exposed sections.
What to bring: Plenty of water. Food / Powergels, spare tube & pump, tools, insect repellant & suncream.

Thx to KLMBH!!!!
