Saturday morning ride to Lawan Kuda - Kopisan



Saturday 17Jan2015

Went in a group of seven riders to Malim Nawar for breakfast at Sai's shop very early in the morning. Dr Tey Chee Seng drove there in his car to join us.

Left For Kota Bharu shortly after 8 am, with Kenneth Sai and his wife, Ganesan, Han, Mike and rookie rider Louis Chang and me.

Reached Lawan Kuda after 9 am, with several pit stops along the way. Turn right into federal trunk road A2, at Kopisan Baru and headed southwards for Malim Nawar. Another two pit stops, one at the Petronas station near the Gopeng highway exit, another just before the Gua Tempurung junction.

Finally arrived back at Sai's shop just after 11:00. About 50 km.



Waiting for the other riders to arrive at the foot of the overhead bridge.

Mike led us on a short-cut through Lawan Kuda. No off-road, he said. Haha!



After leaving Kopisan, we soon arrived at the Gua Tempuring junction

Pressing on towards Malim Nawar


Back in Malim Nawar, we took an unusual shortcut to reach Sai's shop: pushing up the stairs of a three storey footbridge over the railway tracks

After some cold drinks at Sai's shop, we set off on the final stretch home to Kampar
