Road back thru time

I was on assignment yesterday to KKB, all by myself. Left the office at 11.00 and took the Jalan Sungai Tua road through Ulu Yam. Light traffic all the way, the opposite if I took the Rawang route. Weather was great for a focused drive on the empty trunk road. As soon as I reached Batang Kali and passed through Rasa and finally reaching Kuala Kubu Bharu, the nostalgia of previous and old days' trips came into my half conscious mind at mid-afternoon.

This route was the usual route for a few of my passed activities. Yes, been using it for quite a while now, even on my last ride at Pertak a month ago. I can still remember my first drive here was a recce trip to Sungai Chilling. It was somewhere in the 90's when nature was a place in mind during weekends. Even the Sungai Selangor Dam was still under construction at that time, and definitely under the full observation of the public, especially the environment lovers.

Ever since, I was wondering what was it like to be going further up to the Gap and all the way to Fraser's Hill. The day came when instead of driving up, I cycled up to Fraser's! It was total awesome. End of the day, on top of my interest cycle trips to KKB, I had an assignment with the local authorities.

The cruising road from Batang Kali all the way either to Fraser's or the more civilised destination towards Tanjung Malim is definitely a road to look forward when I want to kill time driving.
