Deepavali with a hill and mariah.

its true, I did went up with mariah carey "touching my body" and.. a whole lot more of tunes. I think you'll definitely need an MP3 player for one to go up Jerai, if not, all we're every gonna hear is the sound of of hearts beating like pom pom drums or yourself breathing super hard.

Anyway, nothin to do on the deepavali, so, up we went, Me, Guan, Tien and Yen. Took our breakfast somewhere on the road and got to the foothills at 9.45am or so, started at 10am.


There was a group of Kangar guys who were there before us, they waited for us to start, but I guess we we're just too lousy to follow them as you can see in the pictures above, that's the only time I saw em.. after that, they just disappeared forward, we were never able to catch up with em... didn't even see em when we left the place later.



Huge tree's and guan joking around in Yen's bike.



Needed a break.


its still at a very low level.


Tien checking out the natural springs??...


Then it's up again..


and more ups..


landslides along the way.. better watch out.. its kinda scarry..


more of these..along the way. Was way... fun when cornering on my way down on it. But do watch out as there's some idiot VAN drivers who is on their way up without horning on the corner.


stopped somewhere for rest, and monkeys took an interest in our bikes...
I need new cogs? or chains?




As we got further up, things are definitely different up there, the air is cooler, fauna is kinda different, insects are way bigger.


muzeum, not open.

church dude, giving us some lecture about the goodness of exercising.


this here is a happy, satisfied, biker and bike.

Got up to here, which is at the 10km mark I think, the Museum. Wanted to go up more, but some of us has been pushing a long way, and it really was getting late, stomach's are growling.
Met some church goers from Tmn Ambar, and from what they describe, the toppest part of Jerai is still under renovations, so, nothing up there to eat. With that in mind, our tummy just took the decision instead of our brains. FSA down the hill.. I managed to clock in top speed at 61.2km/h, next time, we're gonna try 70km/h!!!!
