Ride review
The Elephant sanctuary ride
A group of foldies engage in an offroad and countryside adventure from Karak to Lanchang to reap the rewards of visiting Pahang's Elephant conservation centre...
Michelle and I did a ride from Karak - Bentong via Kg Cinta Manis, Sertik and Mempaga and became inspired to conduct another ride to Lanchang.
We drew a new course from Sin Poh farm towards Kg Sertik using an offroad track nearby.
I had no idea of the terrain and ground conditions as much of my plan was based on past experiences using the route with a 4x4 vehicle.
To get things going, I rounded up some experienced riders through the Malaysian Foldie Forums and its Facebook page.
After listing the requirements for participation, I had a handful of people who signed up for the ride. This was strictly for experienced riders as the trail is expected to be tough.
Michelle at Farmer Wong's house in Karak I planned it in such a way, the team would spend a night at Farmer Wong's house in Sin Poh Farm. So, to make it happen, I gave Ah Pan, my old buddy a call to get clearance to camp at the farmhouse.
Sin Poh farm is an award-winning vegetable producer in Pahang and is also the first farm of its kind to be awarded with a Good Agricultural Practise certification from the state agriculture department.
