With Ramadhan approaching, this will probably be the last ride in a month. As usual I planned the route to include some offroad portion but this time with the aim of having lunch at Ma-Ni, a new restaurant just outside Tanjung Malim. Built and run by a fellow biker, I anticipate the place to be nice, and it really is.

The RV point was Sg Buluh RnR, and from there we head to Bt Beruntung to enter the offroad section which cuts across a secondary forest. This track is good as its not muddy, the surface being sandy. From there we exit at Sg Tengi Dam, joining tarmac after 25km offroading. Then we ride on to Seri Keledang, Gunung Besuit then loop back to Selim River before another portion of 12km of broken tarmac. After lunch at Ma-Ni we headed home.

When I got to the RV Point, Sg Buloh RnR, Cee Kay, Mel and Bin were already there. The bikes started trickling in and by 0730 we were ready to go. There were three riders new to the group for today, Chen on a GS, Victor on a Pegaso Trail and Bin on a Tiger. The light stratus overhanging the morning holds promise of good weather.

Leaving

Kev swapped his GSA with Lamb's MTS2.

A short 40km ride on the PLUS Hiway

Chen on his one day old GS. I met him at Wunderlich Shop and got him to join the ride. Told him there's a ride with offroad bits and he looked doubtful.
But I told him even girls on GS do the route, so he came.

The Bt Beruntung Exit

Heading to the broken tarmac route

ABS OFF, Traction Control to 70% spin.

The quiet morning was suddenly breached by the sound of rumbling boxer twins, although the MTS2's Termis was the loudest....Big dust trai rising through the trees,

This is Markus

Kevin

Lamb

Ang KP

Mel

Justine, with Eddy watching out for her

Eddy Tan is one the Group's more accomplished and responsible riders, always unselfishly looking out for others.

Victor's first ride with the group

Sunny and Bin on their GSA and Tiger

Bin Chin on his Tiger. First time joining the group.

The trail goes underneath the PLUS Highway exiting through the tunnel into a road that leads to Sg Tengi Dam.

Sg Tengi Lake perimeter road.

We stopped at this stall near Kg Sg Tengi

After TT, we rode along the Felda road passing Kg Soeharto

Kg Seri Keledang. Kevin acting as marker for the rest

Fooling around with Lamb's Ducati

Estates are Private Property, and permission must be sought for entry.

Heading for Gunung Besuit

Then Markus started the ball rolling by flying past me

Eddy followed

Sunny Puan started to play

Mel promptly joined in

This bridge separates Felda Gedangsa and Felda Besuit.

This straight as an arrow dirt track got the boys into a frenzy as speeds up to 100km/h can be had

Entering Felda Besuit 1

We passed through this fairly steep loose gravel section. Heart in the mouth when you have a 300kg RM120k bike under you.

Justine was all stressed up here but she did well to ride through unassisted.

Must be a brotherhood syndrome when these two wears their Alam Flora jackets.

We reached tarmac after 1 hour in dirt

TT stop

After leaving Felda Besuit 2 we rode along this deserted tarmac road to Selim River for about 30km.

Fuel stop at Selim River

Another 20km before we passed through this security check to get to another dirt section.

Lamb on his MTS2 leading the GS

Justine brought her own 'Sanitary' Team, two janitors in Alam Flora.

After one more short stop we reached our Lunch RV at Ma-Ni. Sean called saying that he rode all the way from KL to meet us there.

Ma-Ni is a restaurant built and run by a friend of mine, Mahussin, an avid Harley rider who rides a Street Glide and a Crossbone. He also has a custom bike. We wanna get a GS under his butt at some stage. Ma-Ni is built in front of his house, and has a small stream running through it. Beautifully and tastefully done, we see it as a place for stops on our future rides around the area.

As we were having lunch, the Spyder group arrived for lunch.

They came complete with Police Escort and Marshalls.

Lunch over, its time for tok kok.

Tok Kok finishes, and its time to go

Another good ride. Less than 300km, with a total of 13 riders. Sean came later.

Roll Call:

1. XR GSA
2. Mel GS
3. Sunny Puan
4. Eddy Tan GSA
5. Cee Kay GS
6. Kevin GSA
7. Justine 650GS

Misi ke Greenland: Shaiful Hisyam Mahu Harumkan Nama Negara & Felda Gedangsa

KUALA LUMPUR – Seorang Anggota Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK), Bukit Aman Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) yang terpilih menjadi salah seorang peserta untuk Misi Penjelajahan KE7B Malaysia Greenland 2014 (KE7BMG2014) berhasrat untuk mengharumkan nama Felda Gedangsa, Kuala Selangor dan Malaysia sendiri dalam ekspidisi mencabar itu.

Shaiful Hisyam, 24, yang merupakan anak jati Felda berkata, beliau mahu menjadi anak Felda pertama yang mampu melakukan misi 'cross' Greenland.

"Harapan saya, semoga saya berjaya mengharungi 'cross' Greenland dan menjadi salah seorang daripada anak Felda yang berjaya menyelesaikan misi ini.

"Dan mengharumkan nama Felda terutama sekali nama Felda Gedangsa, Selangor dan juga nama Malaysia," kata Shaiful yang ditemu bual ketika berlangsungnya Perhimpunan Agung UMNO 2013 di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC).

Selepas mengetahui namanya tersenarai dalam 17 orang yang terpilih ke Greenland, Shaiful melahirkan rasa syukur kerana penat-lelah dan keperitan semasa mengikuti ujian saringan pemilihan terbalas.

Malah, beliau tidak dapat menggambarkan perasaan gembiranya setelah bekerja keras dan bersaing dengan peserta-peserta yang lain ketika sesi pemilihan berlangsung.

"Alhamdulillah. Setakat ini saya berjaya mengharungi 5 'pre-selection' untuk ke Greenland dan saya berjaya menjadi peserta dalam 17 orang yang terpilih sewaktu mengikuti pemilihan pada awal bulan 8.

"Perasaan saya ketika ini memang tidak dapat digambarkan dengan kata-kata. Gembira dengan apa yang telah saya harungi kerana pemilihan itu bukan mudah dan memang perit, teruk," luah Shaiful.

 NOTA: KEPADA WARGA FELDA YANG MEMPUNYAI PERKONGSIAN, LUAHAN, PENDAPAT DAN CADANGAN UNTUK DIMUATKAN DIDALAM FeldaVoice BOLEH HUBUNGI EDITOR MELALUI EMAIL DI editor.feldavoice@gmail.com
