After the memorable trip to Fraser's Hill two days before, me and Panglima were planned to make another hit..but this time would be more relax and enjoyable one..a return trip to Janda Baik from Greenwood Park, Gombak..at first only both of us would go for the ride but then Abe just confirmed that he would join us..we started from Shell Greenwood and headed to the Hospital Orang Asli and climbed up the hill of Genting Sempah..for me, i could feel the different when climbing this hill after a grueling climbing experience in Fraser's Hill two days back..it's like a getting fitter and stronger..i managed to ascend the hill faster than any trip i have done before reached Genting Sempah 45 minutes later..there were just a few cyclists stopped at the checkpoint which was not a usual situation..my thought was everybody were happy resting at their hometown for the festive break..after a long rest, I and Panglima continued cruising down the hill to Janda Baik while Abe decided to return early because of family matters..
There was a rare feeling when I crossed the main entrance of Janda Baik..feeling of tranquility and i loved it so much..a few sections of up and down the hill made the trip merrier..we stopped at a restaurant called Andak's Place Jungle Cafe, 6km from Janda Baik main entrance and had my nasi kerabu while Panglima went for nasi dagang..great breakfast after a great ride and the food is a good reward..somehow i was wondering how to cycle back after that heavy food intake..we started to cycle back at 11.30am and this time more ascending route to be faced..uphill section after R&R Genting Sempah was the most cruelest climb to be through..almost 15% climbing just could not made our feet moved easily..one could stop and tow the bike till the end section..descending the hill was the best thing to be done but unfortunately heavy downpour after few kilometers downhill..need to be extra careful because of uneven tarmac and slippery road..we finished the ride around 1pm and prepare to attend Yahya's wedding ceremony somewhere in Taman Melati.
After all, i enjoyed these two rides as more climb sections were hit and could improve my strength massively..its a good training and experience to be told and i wish to do it again next time..
