We've never ridden around Kapar before and felt that the area was suitable to be explored.
So, the bike of choice was our Dahon Jetstream.
Michelle led the way and we ended up at the Kapar Power Plant.
This is a huge facility where the power turbines are coal-fired.
I was told that there is an abundance of marine life around the power plant.
This place is also famous for its shellfish harvest.
There is a sorting facility for cockles which is the main economic activity for the fishermen around the area.
BEYOND TOK MUDA
After a brief visit to the power plant area, we cycled towards Pantai Jeram.
There was a nice offroad track near a sugar cane plantation which we rode past.
And as far as the bikes are concerned, they held up pretty well.
Michelle had tried to access the beach area near the power plant.
But our attempts were futile as part of the shoreline was fenced up to keep intruders at bay.
PLACES OF INTEREST
The Kapar power plant is a place to be during the bird migratory season.
I heard that it would be opened to the public especially for bird watchers.
As for the trail, I'd say that the ride was pretty decent and that there aren't that many tough trails.
We made our way to Sungai Janggut and ended up at another cockle sorting area.
There is a seafood restaurant here, but I guess since its hidden from plain sight, only those who are on the know would be able to get there..
