My Second Date with Ulu Langat Ride

The Ulu Langat Dam on the way to Sg Tekala which most of us did not made it till the waterfall. I shall do it one day.The targeted point to be here (at the border of Selangor & Negeri Sembilan) was accomplished.It was before 8 o'clock the mist was thick and obviously a lovely weather to cycle.A stop here before we proceeded with the "dead man" climb which is about 500 metres away.Here we were at the "T" junction of this famous climb. To the right is which heading to the dam area & waterfall of Sg. Tekala and turning left is to Genting Peras to the border of Negeri Sembilan.Yew Ming came up late to catch up with us and he did it non stop until Peras. Well done to this seasoned rider.After a short rest at Genting Peras and a breeze downhill roll back to the T junction. We decided to take the other side of the route to Sg Tekala.But something held us up as we reached mid way.A tiny weeny staple that punctured this tyre haddisruptedour plan to the waterfall. After spending time recovering this puncture we we decided to turn back and head for home.This man is too fast for us, David was testing his new bike and he made it to the waterfall.Ah Lu, a new face on road bik! e was no t lucky, he was the one with the flat tyre.Young Mui tagging along his dad in this climb well done boy and keep it up.Beware of monkeys especially if the "Taiko" is around he fear no one and he bullies his fellow species.Hari Raya is approaching the demand for bamboo is very good and good money for the Orang Asli.Old kampong house left idle and slowly the creepers are taking over this structure.A Public Holiday in Selangor that was well spent at Ulu Langat Batu 18 where we have done good thing to ourselves in the name of the sport called cycling. We shall do more and see you again.The Route.
