Off road northwards to Batu Gajah

Sunday, 15-2-15

After yesterday's 53 km ride down south to Tapah, today I joined Kampar Golden Riders on a 56 km ride up north to Batu Gajah:

- westwards out of Bandar Baru Kampar,
- then north to Kota Baharu on A110
- from Kota Baharu, we went off road along the eastern bank of the Kinta River, continuing northwards to Kampung Pisang on the southern fringe of Batu Gajah, covering a total of 26 km from Kampar.
- we then turned south on A15 for breakfast at Chenderong village, 6 km away.
- after a slow and satisfying breakfast, we pushed on southwards for another 10 km along A15 to reach Tanjung Tualang for a pit stop.
- the final 14 km stretch brought us home non-stop to Kampar via A114.

Yay! We arrived at Chenderong village after 32 km of pedalling. Time for breakfast.

After failing to keep up with the unrelenting pace of Winston Ooi and Hor Kar Choon, I took a road side break with Eugene, Ganesan and Kong Foo Low.
