Jungle trekking at Dusun Eco Resort

Since taking up MTBiking, never have I thought that I'll be entering jungle or forest without my bike... But last weekend, joining my kids at their camp, I never knew walking through trails could be so much fun !

It was so long ago since my previous nite walk through the jungle / forest.. Probably during the times when I was in Scout (form 2). We had a 2 hours nite walk.. Divided into 4 groups, each leader had only 1 candle. Helping the kids move along, I ended up being at the tail end of the whole group..

The next day, we were treated with a 3 hours jungle trekking.. At the starting, I felt so regret that I didn't brought my bike along ! The trails there are really nicely hard packed soil, rutted and roots... Long steady steep descent ! But of course you'll have to endure the long hard pedal / push uphill.. But the trails we went through are not all meant for MTBs. Some parts we even had problems climbing / walking down. Had to use the assistant of a rope to safely move down. Really have to get down and dirty, at some point...

Anyhow we were treated with the nice cool waterfall ! After 2 hours of hiking.. The cold cool waters was somewhat refreshing..

I wouldn't mind trading my bike for hiking boots, just for 1 weekend - only ! Tomorrow is gonna be riding Sunday, after a very long break for few of us here. So don't really know what to expect from the ride.. Stay tuned to find out in our next blog...

I saw this girl walked passed... Armed my 400D and followed her down the stairs. Sadly she didn't look up, couldn't get a shot of her face...

Wonder if she would model for me ? Strictly professional...

Testing testing.. I'm trying out and see if I can blog directly from flickr website.

This is 1 of my favourite shot ! Candid shot of this sweet Malboro sales girl.. Too bad I don't know her name. So many guys crowding her, got no chance for me to ask... Plus I don't smoke Malboro..

April's FOOL

Hello all... Been really really held up at work. Got too many things to be done, and plus with the recent emotional turmoil. I haven't had the time to actually blog..

This is the story of our April's Fool RIDE... Where we discovered a "new" trail...

So that Sunday morning started as usual.. At CS' house, I already realised the dark clouds approaching, and it doesn't look promising. But thought that at least we can squeeze in a short ride in FRIM..

~View of the sky at CS' house~

Still persist on going, though we were contemplating of canceling the ride. I was already suggesting to go Sri Petaling for dim sum instead. Which we should have headed to ! Cause upon reaching 1U, here is what the sky looked like...

So enough about them clouds... There were other barrier that was determined to keep us away from our morning ride. Right at the famous MRR2 bridge, which was the start of what is to be a massive traffic jam. Somehow we forgot the fact that it was Qing Ming weekend ! The whole traffic jam was caused of this reason.. The 1st traffic light below the MRR2 bridge, turned into a messed up parking lot !

~just look at that~

Don't know how long we were stucked there, stationary.. Didn't keep track of the time. BUT it was long enough for me and CS to get out of the car.. Walked our way till we could see the cause of the jam, and made our way back to the car. Then immediately we made the decision to turn back, cancel the ride plan.. And look for breakfast ! But while trapped in the car, we were able to amuse ourselves with silly silly billy jokes..

We decided to head back to Subang Jaya, it started to rain not too long later..

And our target for that day was to have dim sum for breakfast ! Back all the way to where we started, dim sum breakfast @ Hong Lim restaurant in SS15 Subang Jaya..

That Sunday, we discovered a new trail... This is what we call, "Dim Sum Trail" ! Didn't ride that morning, but the dim sum was satisfying and the good sleep that came after... Oh.. Did I also mentioned that our bikes were just soaking under the rain...
