The ride started off ~645am with 15 rides. After few km ride, there was a minor accident causing Ah Meng twisting his ankle. But nothing stop the redhot heart at that moment. Soon, after 10km ride, few questions started to arise regarding the route surrounding total distance and the altitude. John keep saying flat. So, the pedaling never stop and along the way, we have wonderful uphill and downhill. We passed through the misty area and made everyone feel likes riding in genting highland. Around 815, we arrived at the junction toward Sik. We waited for 15 min and after that we continued cycle toward Sik. We stopped at 55km mark for breakfast where 3 escapees continue riding toward Beris. We had breakfast and there were split decision on continue to ride to the grape plantation or u turn home. There were 7 opt to go and 7 decided to go home.
The magnificent 7 went on for another 10km ride and reached the grape plantation. They visited the place, tasted the local grape and juice. Took some good picture and enjoy the tour on the grape plantation. The worker was good and provide the team very good explaination on how to grow grape.
After 30min, it is the time to cycle another 70km home. It 11am and the hot sun awaiting. The m. seven never look back, we conquered the hilly terrain and reach desa aman in 3 hours with a mee goring stop at bukit selambau. Total cycled distance ~140km with average speed 27km. It was challenging but enjoyable journey especially to see and hold the grape by yourself in Malaysia.
