Adventure Ride to Merarap Hot Spring

Is time for another road trip, but this time the boys wanted something different and we decided to do a off-road adventure road trip into the Malaysian jungle....

as usual liked other road trip we gathered at the usual coffee shop but with the different kind of bikes....Motorcross, Trail Bikes & Motard with knobbies tyres.....
slow and steady ride to Lawas, Sarawak, Malaysia.....(actually we can't go fast with the knobbies wheels, so might as well ride slow and enjoy the scenery....)


the last fuel stop before entering the logging trail....

a Pitstop at the highest point of the logging trail right next to a logging truck depot...

here comes our back-up crew with our refreshment....
cool refreshing beer is the right choice...there is no police around so we can drink n ride....
stop and this 300m tarmac road in the middle of the jungle to prepare ourselves for the notorious downhill trail to the lodge...
the 2 kms Scary steep downhill loose gravel ride to the lodge....( the ONLY photo of this downhill trail, cos everyone is concentrate try not to fall and no mood for photo)
finally reaching our destination.....

The Merarap Hot Spring Lodge..



the "Private Pool".....
dinner time...the lodge does provide some decent buffet meal, but everything tasted good after a day of riding...

as usual nothing much to do in the jungle, guys just lounged around after dinner.....
more foods from the BBQ pit, not bad for been in the middle of jungle...

to killed some time, guys decided to have their own Jungle Casino and the night ended with someone losing some dough....
some simple breakfast to juiced us up for the ride later....
Me & Retroman left our marks in the lodge guests book with illustration...

prep the bikes before heading back home....weather looks good.
another group photo at the short stretch of tarmac before heading out to the logging road...
where the Good Fun begin...and the boys are riding like mad, cos Sunday is off-day for the logging trucks, so the entire logging trail is all for ourselves....

everyone just give it a full throttle for the final few kilometers of the fun, trying to set a flying lap...
finally the fun is over...and we have made it out of the dusty logging trail...
as usual tropical storm always happen on our return trip...everyone suited up..!
