Riding up the mountain and down the valley...

'
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...

The weekend may be fraught with small annoyances at first, but it turned out to be mostly fabulous.

It was sunny and bright when we started riding. We met up with Iwan, Ella and Hana at Baskin Robbins, Tapah R&R. They were going to Penang for the weekend. We were heading further north to Gunung Jerai and Lembah Bujang to explore some historical sites.

The weather for the next few days was gloomy, cloudy and heavy showers in the evenings but there's no need to be overly worried. Rain or shine, we just need to relax and enjoy the journey.

Leaving yourv tracks all over the peninsular eh? Like the new bike is worth very nut and bolts.

Tok Ngah,
I have been to quite a number of historical places around the world. I don't want to miss visiting our own historical sites and interesting places in Malaysia.

Still looking for new destinations to visit...

Hello there,

Thanks for sharing the link - but unfortunately it seems to be down? Does anybody here at musmun.blogspot.com have a mirror or another source?
