Day Ride: Hospital Orang Asli Gombak - Bentong, Route 68

20 Dec 2018: we took a day off to try our first ride on this cycling heaven known as HOA, short form for Hospital Orang Asli or Route 68. We arrived at Gombak and stopped at this food centre where there is an empty land for parking and a few restaurants operate here. According to the breakfast stall mak cik, this is a good place to park for the day but be sure to park your vehicle at the side and not in the middle of the empty land as there are heavy vehicles moving in and out of this place. 

Generally road conditions are rather rough with occasional potholes and gravels. Going downhill will be bumpy for alloy and carbon bikes. Titanium bikes must be very comfortable on these road conditions. 

Bentong Half Marathon 2018

My first time to Bentong for run. The route is generally hilly, from Dataran Bentong to Air Terjun Chamang and back to Dataran Bentong. This hilly route is good as uphill helped reduces my knee pain and down hill speeds up the running speed.

Guthrie Corridor Expressway Rawang Lempeng Ride

17 November 2018: Another ride to Rawang for hunt of good nasi lemak and lempeng. We started early with warm up ride from our home in Shah Alam to Bukit Jelutong at 5am, then joining the main group ride along motorcycle lane of GCE, exit to Latar (no motorcycle lane) to Rawang Tesco for breakfast. This route are mostly dragon back with gentle slopes, good enough for hill training without needing to drive too far from home.
