Cameron Highlands Climb Conquer!

Cameron Highlands Climb Conquer via Simpang Pulai!
Yes, i did it...

Its been a week since i plan to climb Cameron Highlands via Simpang Pulai (new road) instead of Tapah town. Since puasa month had just started, so i decided to invite all the chinese/indian riders to ride up.

However, Kumar and Ah Chooi has plan on the weekend, so i decided to go with Yong and Kwong Yew. Unfortunately, Kwong Yew chicken out just a day before the ride. Instead of giving up this ride, i decided to continue the ride. With only 2 of us, we confirmed and gear up the bikes, tools, supplies just a night before the ride. Quite a last minute decision actually. I managed to install the roof rack and pack everything i slept at 12 midnight.

15th of August 2010. Time 5.30am. I woke up and get myself ready. Yong arrive at 6.00am, i set up the bikes and without losing any more time, we set up our journey while looking for petrol kiosk to buy some supplies. Last minute decision didnt give me enough time to prepare.

We stop by at Tronoh Shell petrol kiosk and get some Snickers bar (thats the only thing i can think of). We continue and park our car at mamak stall at Simpang Pulai town. Suprisingly, while we are having a quick breakfast before gearing up and climb, we saw a bunch of riders setting out up to Cameron Highlands too.

After a quick breakfast, we set up and start our longest uphill journey of 51km till Green View Garden up in Cameron Highlands. The weather is quite warm as the sun already high up on the sky. 7.45am is the exact time for our 2 road bikes tires start to roll.

Crossing the Simpang Pulai intersection trafficlight, i reset my trip meter on my bike and here i go, 51km to destination.

Stay tuned for ride details...
