2nd Assault on Kampung Tanah Runtuh

We failed to find the Kg Tanah Runtuh’s trail on our first attempt. We were hoping that this second assault will find us that secret trail.

As usual we meet up at Ayie’s burger stall at Taman Fajar around 0700am and start pedaling to Kg Tanah Runtuh. For today ride, we were joined by Amat, Aie, Apek, Amri, Rosdie and Haizal. Physically fit and mentally strong, these riders should be able to find that trail.

As we climbed towards the first hill, Apek had his rear tire puncture. After replacing with a new tube, we continued the climb and reached the top with less energy used. The view was spectacular. Well that’s the beauty of doing mountain biking. You got the chance to enjoy the nature. We took a few pictures and continued our downhill to another two hills top which are the location of telecommunication towers.

We continued our ride and this time right after the last hill, we got into an oil palm plantation estate. We were tested again this time when Rosdie’s front and rear tires get punctured. Fortunately, we still got two last spares of tube.

After replacing with new tubes, we decided to call it off due to worried of punctured tires. Maybe 3rd time will be our lucky day!!!
