The Jun Chong's Trail Got It All

I have been missing the weekend ride with the guys for the last 3 weeks. That is really sucks. Every time I called them, they said I missed the new trail they discovered over a month ago that they described as "Got Everything", "A complete set", "The best so far" and so on.

They called it The Jun Chong trail caused the off rad starts next to Jun Chong's factory. This trail is actually laid inside the Kluang Oil Plantation estate.

So last weekend, no more excuses for me. With Ayie, Rosdie and his son, we tamed that famous trail at around 5pm. The weather was excellent and we knew we will soak with sweat today!!!!

We took off from a Shell petrol station at Jalan Kota Tinggi. In just 5 minutes we were already entering the entrance of the trail. By just looking at it from the main road, I was quiet impressed with the contour and landscape of the trail.

The first few kilometers were raiding in open space. The oil palm tress had been chopped down but that was not an excused not to enjoy this trail. Wow....it was either climbing uphill or going downhill....after you got tired of that, than only the trail offers you a flat off road for you to take a breather.

The trademark of this trail is climbing the peak and going downhill from there. We did not really bother how high is the climb....but I can tell you it was a long and tiring climb!!! There is a sign board along the trail cautioning not to overtake and use low gear!!!! Yes...that's right...just like climbing Genting.

After we successfully conquered that last climbed, it was all downhill...and believe me, it was loooong and ride able all the way to the main road.

We finally arrived at our meeting point half an hour past six. The total kilometer recorded was 15 kilometers. No complaint from me. it is a short trail but is is good enough for our weekend ride. And I agreed it got everything. I would rate it as the best trail so far in Kluang.

Thanks to Rosdie, Ayie, Ahmad and Apek for finding this trail!!!
