Yes Colin it was an enjoyable ride as the route is one of the best riding roads in Penisular Malaysia. Many local riders will do their weekend rides to Cameron Highlands and the Cameron-Sg Koyan-Gua Musang-Cameron loop has the best mountain views as it cross over the main range of the penisular.

I notice that you can really eat as shown in the dinner pics as I only had a light dinner after the ride. Maybe tired as I have not ride a 500km day ride for sometime.

Cheers
