KL to Kuala Selangor - 81km

After having received our bikes and successfully packing all our stuff in the bags, stopping by a gas station to fill our tires, we were on our way out, being guided by Jeff´s suggestions and a handy gps (thank God!!!). We got a little turned around in places but made it out on a pretty green road. Riding on the left side of the road takes a little taking use to as well as carrying lots of weight on the bike. About 20kg extra each.

After 25km, the darrellieur cable on Debbie´s bike broke while heading down the highway. The breakdown took us an hour of work. The tip of the cable broke in the handle and was quite a job removing it without proper tools. Luckily Jaume knew how to and fixed it with a new cable under the tropical heat.
Cars seemed to respect us pretty well and from time to time there was a motorbike lane that we could get some rest in. We stopped for Indian food along the road and made our way near the coast to Taman Alam Kuala Salangor nature park.
At the desk they told us there were too many mosquitoes now, (as they were saying that, we were being bitten up…) but we were so tired and sweaty after 80k that we stayed anyway.
We had a little A-frame cabin and were the only ones staying there. We went for a fantastic seafood dinner along the river and the next day for a walk through the park. We saw lots of birds, crabs, monkies, walking fish, and monitor lizards!
