MY SOLO CYCLING TOUR NOTES : KUALA KANGSAR - MANONG - TG. BLANJA - PARIT - SENGGANG - MENORA - SAYONG - KUALA KANGSAR

Today 5th December 2010, I am happy as I have already completed my solo cycling tour from KUALA KANGSAR - MANONG - TG.BLANJA - PARIT - SENGGANG - KG. MENORA - SAYONG - KUALA KANGSAR. The journey took me about 100 kilometers of total distance. As the day was raining in the morning, I started kicking by bicycle about 11.45 am and I arrived back my hometown (nearby Taman Jasa) around 8.00 pm.



70% of this route consist of slopes as it passes by the riverbank of Sg. Perak which take me about 10-15km/h. Most of the time I have to struggle to fetch the uphills especially from Bt. Hampar to Sayong. Going long downhill have save my time a lot as it can reach 35km/h.  At flat routes, my speed was about 20km/h.

During this journey my camera lens focuses on the traditional malay building that attrack me a lot. I am wonder are they will keep remain in the future or the traditional malay building will vanish as time passes by. For me, I prefer to classify these building as "rumah traditional melayu perak - penempatan sepanjang Sungai Perak".
