This Sudnay saw me struggling up to the mid tram station via a farmer trail we call Hait Keat Village Farmer trail.


Total distance: 18km with 6km of sadistic fun...;)



The ride began with gradual slope that could make you to believe that it would be a walk in the park.



Soon after the gradient of the trail changed dramatically. You can see from the photo how steep it was!



With my tongue touching the ground after the god forsaken climb, I decided to take a shorter break in front of this temple before continue my ride to the Mid tram station.


Petai tree, just right after the temple.

Saw this feisty canine on my way.


Going to the tram station. Nice view, eh? The tall buildings are aprtments in Farlim.


The mid tram station. Other mountain bikers decided to take the tram down. Too steep the descent to their liking, I think? I continue my ride after a short break at the tram station. It was basically a gradual slope that was downhill incline.



I finally exited to another trail that started from the Tai Seong Loh Koon temple at the foothill. It was a very steep descent. I had to stop to let my rims cool down.


View of George Town halfway down.



Entrance to Tai Seong Loh Koon temple. My exit from the ride, 2 hours later.
