My first Dirtbike ride!
Gosh! This blog has been left with no update for sooo long. What is happening to me? Getting lazy to blog while i still continue to travel alot. heheeee.... Okie...so, I hope I get to write and update more often. On my return...let me write on what I have been doing. After I experienced knee pain, I was adviced by my doctor to stop hiking and cycling. Thats the worst news i wanna hear from my doctor. But being a someone who hates to go shopping as a form of hobby, I turn to something else. For a start, I'm looking into dirtbiking! So, here I am riding dirtbike for my very first time!  Where : Pengerang, Johor Malaysia Place : Tristan Park When : 2 March 2012 We were advised to take the first ferry from Changi Point Ferry Terminal at 0700hrs. The bumboat ride cost S$11/person per ride. Boat will leave only when there are 12 passengers boarding. The last boat from Pengerang will be at 1600hrs (but departure is at discretion of the boat operator and boat availibility). We waited from 0700hrs but only departed at 0820hrs due to low pax count. Bumboat fare to be paid onboard and no tickets will be issued. Boat ride is 1hr 30mins. We had a smooth sail.  Tg Pengelih jetty Reaching Tg Pengelih jetty, it is very empty and quiet. The Malaysia immigration only prepares to open for operation when they sees us. Tristan Park representation came to pick us up less than 10mins after I made the call to inform that we have reached. First...breakfast! Pengerang is a small, very quiet town. I love this kinda peaceful life.  For our breakfast, even tho its simple, but its very very nice. The lady who cooked these has good culinary skills! Thanks for the wonderful, tasty dishes makcik!   We have reached!  I came in a group of five. Four us chose dirtbike and one chose WR. Of this, three of us took Package A for non-rider and cost us S$70 and the remaining two took Package B for rider and cost them S$90.  Dirtbike  The bigger bike that Tristan Park has  Tristan Park has ATVs too but at the time of my booking, the ATVs are under maintenance.  Included in the package are the gears for riding. Full face helmet, knee guard, elbow guard, gloves and safety briefing. It was an awesome experience! It started to rain during our ride..uphill, downhill. Awesomeness!!  We ends our ride at 1430hrs and had to rush back to the jetty as we were afraid that we miss the boat as we didnt charter any return boat. After the ride, i now know why its called DIRTbike. Look at us....  We are so muddy and dirty. And we get to eat dirt during the ride. Ewwww... but awesome!  Boat waiting for us...Sad to leave but I will sure return for more riding!  Bye Pengerang. Bye Tristan Park. Thank you to both our instructors. U guys have both been too patience with us and you both are gerek!!! And to my friends...let's do this again!  What I learnt; you don't need to have a riding license to enjoy dirtbike riding. What you need is a group of friends who loves outdoor experience and wanna try challenging activities. Thank you ladies for your support and participation. Love ya! Labels: malaysia, malaysia riding
