My Gears...
Well... was too tired to take more photos.. on our way down.. there was some.. climbs... that eventually leads out to the foot of Jerai hills.. soo.. ended up at the guides home at about 7.30p.m or so... Proabably reason why this ride takes up soo long was that we had lots of things happening.. with Xp's cramp on both legs.. Tien's accident, AK's bike also broke down somewhere in between.. then there's the guide's puncture... loads of shit happening.
A very nice and satisfying ride.. but now its time for all those sore muscle to heal...
