Sedili Loop

Wow! Really no time to blog about this awesome cycling trip although I had come back from this trip for almost 3 weeks!

Was a bit scared before I decided to go cos it is not the usual desaru cycling trip. Is a 3 days, 215km cycling trip. From Woodlands custom to Kota Tinggi, Sedili Loop then to Desaru. When I went for the briefing before the trip I almost fainted! haha... Did not really dare to take up this challenge in the first place because I had not been cycling lately. Moreover my cycling skill is so lousy, but the thought of having support vehicle, I finally agreed to join the trip! The most I jump into the vehicle and enjoy the air con! haha...



Was really nervous and excited when crossing the Woodlands custom. The custom was conjested with so many cars and we were actually cycling pass them! Finally managed to pass the custom safely but this is just the beginning! All the way were fast passing vehicles and we actually need to change lane!! From the farmost left lane all the way to the right lane! OMG, I was kind of worried whether I can make it. Luckily I managed to pass all the lanes by frightening the drivers with my lousy cycling skills that they had no choice but to give way to me! hahahaha..
Sigh, my cycling skills really failed me. I nearly murdered our team sweeper!! I lost my balance when he was cycling so close beside me and I fell onto his side. Nearly pushed him out to the main road whereby there were so many passing by cars! Luckily he was alert enought to push me back so that I can fell safely on my left side. Phew! Only a few scatches on my left knee but I was really relieved that no serious injuries had happened! Then it started pouring not long after the accident! We were all drenched! I could hardly see the road in front of me, all I wanted to do is to keep on cycling till I saw somebody stopped by the side for shelter but there were no shelter n noone was stopping! So I just had to continue and use all my energy to ride faster, trying to catch up with the rest! The first day ended with the waterfall and fireflies tour. Cool!!



The 2nd day started with a nice breakfast at the hawker center just beside our hotel. Soon after tt we set off to Sedili! Butt started to ache but still bearable. The journey started riding along the sand patches with lots of big trucks passing us.. OMG, stress again. I hated the trucks as they let out a lot of polluted air from their exhuast pipe! Dunno how much carbon monoxide had I inhaled by cycling behind them.. The weather got hotter as the day went by and there were more slopes! But I was more fimiliar with the bike then n so no accident this time! Phew..
Lunch near a jetty whereby we took the boat to the Kampong. Very beautiful place, near the sea that can see the horizon!!



All the tiredness from the long cycling journey were forgotten when I reached there. The atmosphere was even more lightened up by the coconut plucking incident by the "Xiao Er". He even got himself cut while climbing up the coconut tree. Ayooi... Really must call 1900.... to support him!



Nice scenery, nice swimming pool, nice watermelon, nice wind, nice kampong ride (except for the rain again n the falling coconuts caused by the strong wind while we were on our way back from the kampong ride).

Hey, we did some stunts too! All thanks to Caili! haha.. She spotted the nice reddish looking jumbos on the tree! Cannot resist the temptation, I actually sat on nee's shoulder to pluck them!! hahaha... Pls call 1900.... to support us!
That night ended late all becos of the mahjong session! haha....



Was kind of disappointed that we did not manage to see the sunrise the next morning but that means we got to sleep more. haha... This day will be the last day of the trip n also the longest distance that we need to cover. Weather was very hot at first but later part of the day was much cooler. Upslopes, downslopes, up n down, up then down again... Oh my.... My butt started to complain. Legs started to complain too! But but.. we were coming to an end of the journey.. I tell myself not to give up! Pedal n pedal... Finally came to a fimiliar place. Thats desaru!! Although my last trip to desaru was a year ago but somehow I do remember the road! And that means a killer last 12km is ahead waiting for me to conquer before we can reach the ferry terminal!



Fianlly last few km n it started to rain again! Tot that I will not get wet but in the end, we were still caught in the rain. Yes! We all made it!!!

Thank you Lai Wan, Xueling (aka 1900), Daniel (aka Daniel Chui), Felix, Ah Boon, Felix, Ah Wee (aka Xiao Er) and last but not least u gals for making this trip so enjoyable and memorable!
