The route E1, 76, A151, A11, A152, A159, 4, 66, D29, A18
Total distance 563 km
Todays ride started with a short ride on the E1 expressway from Ipoh to Kuala Kangsar, it may be an expressway but its got curves, hills and views like this
After turning off the E1 I took the 76, A151, A11, A152 and the A159 before getting back on the 76 and riding to Gerik, here I took the 4 and what a nice road this is, unfortunately along here it started raining and it was on and off from then on
This is probably the first army vehicle that I have seen in Malaysia
Temengor lake
Its a lovely road but the rain is spoiling the views
I stop at the Tasik Pergau reservoir, surprisingly it isnt overflowing with all the rain
Just before reaching Jeli it actually stops raining for a short while and its quite hot now
At Jeli I take a right onto the 66 and here it starts raining very hard
I take a right onto the D29 and this waterfall is along here
At times I am actually riding on dry roads but its mainly wet for most of the way now, heavy rain too
Even if I am drenched I am glad that I rode this route today for the stunning scenery alone
The rivers are well up with fast flowing muddy water from all the rain
I reach a crossroads at Gue Musang and take a right onto the A18
More full rivers along here too
This is another lovely road across the mountains with lots of these bends
Stunning scenery along here
A brilliant ride today, longer than I expected in both time and distance, I left at 8.30 am and got back to my hotel at after 7 pm, still in the light though thanks to the time difference
I eat here on the street tonight at N04.35.708 E101.05.237
Another English guy staying at my hotel recommended this dish from this restaurant, it was okay but I wont be eating it again, 110 Baht including the rice
Malaysia actually has lemonade to make a shandy with, not Sprite or 7 Up like in Thailand.
