Fully Loaded Simulation Ride From Genting Sempah to Bentong

With 4 days left to my departure, I went for my final test ride on 8 May  from Genting Sempah to Bentong, a total distance of 72 km to and flo with Rita who is riding with her Red scott mtb. I carried with me all my stuffs including 4 Ortlied bags ( front 2 and back 2 ) and another Lotus saddle bag at the rear rack where I keep my easy accessible stuffs like camera,wallet,sunblock,pump tubes etc..for a total weight of 24 kg + 1.5 litre of water under the seat. The downhill to hotspring was fast due to the extra weight but i waited for Rita cos' it was her first ride here. We took 1 and half hour to reach Bentong town but the famous Kow Po ice-cream shop as usual not open yet at 10.20am. Continue riding to town looking for food, a surprise stop at the Vietnamese beef noodle shop saw Sam and Michelle with their foldies. The journey on the wayback was a real challenge from the hotspring start, climbing with a 25kg fully loaded recumbent. At the end we reached the Genting Sempah RnR at 4 pm . Happy with our acheivement but was rather sad with the sold out of ABC which we were hoping to enjoy...
