Conquering Fraser Hill...

17 Dec - After many rides on highways, uphills and downhills route. It is time to conquer the hill. And our cycling buddy Rivern suggested that we should cycle up to Fraser Hill.

Joined by 11 riders, we started from Kuala Kubu Bahru (KKB). The entire distance is about 41km to Fraser Hill.

1st stop at the bridge where the KKB Dam releases the water into the river.

So far so good, thumbs up from the guys

Towards to Sg Chilling Fish Sanctuary

2nd stop at the Sg Chilling, rest before the serious uphill ahead

Uphill task, ride to the far side of the slope

Changes of the rain forest vegetation as fern are insight.

Reach Gap, we are now at about 1220 meters above sea lever

and crossed inter-state of Pahang.

The final 8km steep climb ahead

Suffered a rear tire puncture at the last 1.5km

We've made it. Been cycling for about 3hrs, 41km in distance

Time to replenish our energy

Most of us were not prepared for the extreme coldness.

Waste plastic bags can be use as wind breaker too

It was drizzling and foggy. Can't do any cycle around, so time to go downhill

Foggy conditions, visibility was poor

It was an adventurous ride, we have covered 84km in distance and

cycle for more than 5 hours plus some stops.

Tips:

Bring windbreaker and extra long sleeve jersey as you may not know when the weather will change. Also lights and blinkers help a lot when you're caught in a rain or dense fog.
