My Perak My Playground (1) The Cameron Highland Cycling Circuit

Ray with friends and colleagues at Lata Iskandar waterfalls

 Perak is the best state of the whole of Peninsula Malaysia. It’s got hills with caves and extinct fossils, rivers and waterfalls that excite, ex tin mines and estates and a long shoreline that stretches from Penang to Selangor with 2 great islands . Well the islands were better earlier but still great….in short a fantastic all round playground for everyone.

Ray from Simpang
Pulai...

 All of its citizens love to show off their playground ie the state of   Perak. Some of them also invite their colleagues to visit and show off   their playground. Like this guy Ray from Simpang Pulai.

 Ray works in Johore Bahru. He invited his colleagues to spend the   weekend hanging out in his hometown Simpang Pulai and while here   he would show them around.

  Boy did he show them around. Ray took them for a 180Km round   trip cycle ride from Simpang Pulai up to Cameron Highlands via the   Tapah using the old road Jalan Pahang and completing the circuit via Brinchang / Pos Slim and back home.

‘The whole circuit takes only about 8hours including stopovers’ said Ray nonchalantly when I asked the duration of the journey.

...stopover for a break .... then 

...about to take off again 

Wow that’s an ordeal on the derriere. Well it can be painful but sightseeing in this beautiful state is wonderful.
