Ride reviews
Banting Char Koay Teow ride
You don't meet people who ride 100km in a day on their folding bike everyday. Here's an example of camaraderie, teamwork and passion..
Just get on my bike and ride...
I posted an announcement about a ride from USJ2 to Banting, Selangor.
A few guys took up the challenge and one of them was CK Toh, a former sales guy at Strida Bikes Malaysia.
I was shocked to learn that he had quit the job.
To me, he was one of the best dudes around representing a new brand of folding bike.
With him, was his friend Chia CK and two guys whom I met face-to-face: Roger and Chew.
All of them were members of the Malaysian Foldie Forums.
Maiden ride
Roger, who acquired a Tern Joe D24 folding bike said such was an opportunity for him to test himself as well as some touring gear.
He made a set of panniers and some really cool DIY stuff on the Tern.
Chew, on the other hand, was a man of few words.
The guy had a Dahon Boardwalk D7 and from his Picasa web albums, this guy is no stranger to long-haul rides.
I knew for a fact that Toh and Chia were doing the long distance ride for the first time.
The planned route
I wanted to avoid using the Klang - Banting road.
So, we rode from USJ2 to Kota Kemuning via the KESAS Highway motorcycle lane.
We took this slowly and paced ourselves.
Along the way, we met some dudes on mountain bikes.
With them, was a white guy on his bike.
The mounties, as it seems were hostile. They couldn't even be bothered to mingle, so I let them be.
From Kota Kemuning, the plan was to ride towards Jalan Kebun and turn out at Jenjarom...
