May 19, 2008 - Gertak Sanggul

Kian Lee writing..

From Gertak Sanggul to Pulau Betung, its not much uphill, just a rolling trail, the tough part is when back from Pulau Betung to Gertak Sanggul, there are a section of uphill stretch. In the middle of the trail, there is a section which is narrow and full of rocks which need to be careful on it else, will down into the valley.... :p
We stopped at a coffee shop at Pulau Betung for drinks and rest, as got 1 iron man cycle from Tg Bunga to destination without having breakfast from early morning, took him 1 hour 20 minutes to reach Gertak Sanggul bus stand!! Salute!!

Overall, the trail is narrow cement road and with some rocks, need a good balancing. But you will have a nice view as a rewards, when reach the hilltop. For this DH fans, there are few hairpin corners that you may love it!! Its around 13.5km for the entire cycle trip.

When on the way home, we stop by roadside for durian session. :D
