The Wettest Ride - Batu Dam
29 Feb 2008 Time : 11.30 pm
Shoot it started to rain already. This really dampen my spirit as tomorrow morning there is supposed to be a hash with the designer wildgeeks in Batu Dam. If it rains tonight sure the trail will be wet and soggy one in the morning. But never mind lah at least it rain tonight and should stop raining by tomorrow morning. At 12 midnight I went straight to bed and kept thinking about the scenic view in Batu Dam. Ahh…! What a sight I am about to see ..zzzzzz!!!!
1 March 2008 - early morning
Yes the alarm rang right at 7.00 am. Waking up refresh and looking forward for another great MTB hash. But wait… what’s that sound?... don’t tell me….wtf *@#!.... . As I looked out of the window, the road is wet and it’s drizzling. Sigh…! Quickly SMS Henry and Sean to confirm whether Hash on or not. Sean confirm it’s still on as the rain just drizzling. So ok la ... worse case scenario just some mud only right?
So at around 7.45 am drove my car and met up with Henry and he followed my car from behind. As he near Kepong area what become a drizzle became quite a heavy rain. My heart is cursing #@*!! and quickly call Sean. Since we are already near the venue Sean suggest we have breakfast first and decide later and see whether the rain will stop or not. So good idea and me and Henry met up with Pheh, a seasoned mountain biker (he is definitely the fittest rider here) in Batu Caves and had our breakfast first while we wait for Sean’s confirmation.
To cut story short, Sean decide to continue with our plan to hash in Batu Dam and all set we met up at the Batu Dam gate. At that time it’s still raining moderately. Sean arrive minutes later together with his designer gang, Karen , Therese and 2 new faces Paul and Ben. Paul had been road biking before while Ben is 1st time in off road MTB. Hmm… Ben will make a good sacrificial MTB virgin in our Batu Dam River crossing induction. Heh…heh…heh…!
We plan to ride in reverse being we ride along the off road lake side until the river crossing as it’s easier and then probably U-turn back so that we can avoid that killer uphill…SMART right…heh…heh…. ! So I be the hare while as usual Henry will become the sweeper.
The first 1-2 KM was easy ride, though it rained but the thick tree canopy shaded us a bit from the rain. Trail is slightly slippery but very rideble until we reach our first hurdle … a 20 meter or so red soft muddy dirt road. I already expected this so some of us push our bikes while some brave one managed to ride through.
But after 2km or so from our ride we begin to see bigger obstacle in form of flooded trail. We are talking about 10-30 meter long flooded trail as deep as 0.5 meter. Apparently the bank of the lake has overflowed and flooded the trail.

Flooded trail. What a sight
Some of us managed to cycle through but most have to push after attempted to cycle halfway. It was not easy cycling in water as some of the geeks may have experience in the river crossing. The problem is always not able to see what’s below the water and sometimes there might be a steep hole underneath the water and one wrong move will cause you off balance and worse when you tried to put your feet down on the ground , your feet could end up in another unseen hole beneath the water and you will end up falling from your bike and into the water. Well it happened to me …so I am speaking from experience and got my pants wet and so happen my car keys are the and it really spoilt the remote control. Luckily I did not put my handphone in my pocket.
Some have to push
And some just ride through itAfter a few flooded trail crossings, we managed to cross the first river crossing. The water current is much stronger now compared to the last time the wildgeeks last crossing there, due to the rainfall upstream. You can practically feel the river current pushing your bike towards downstream. But all of us managed to crossed through.
We went the wrong way when we tried to find the 2nd river crossing and ended up crossing the wrong river. We only realized this after crossing it and did not find the trail after crossing it. Apparently I have overshot and there is a fork before that. So we make a u-turn and return to the fork and did the 2nd river crossing and have a short snack courtesy of Karen who brought some bun and chocolates . Yummy.. choc actually taste better after a long ride.

The final river crossingAfter a 20 minutes or so break we decided to make a u-turn back as we want to avoid the killer uphill climb. Not that we are chicken out but the trails condition may not merit us to take such risk. Also have to give a break for the newbies mah… so that they will hash with us again. So it’s the repeat of 2 river crossing and a few flooded trails and ended up with the mud trail which causes everyones bike to get dirty at the end of the journey.
Since there were no bike wash he we treated the dam like our own grandfathers dam and we all wash our bikes neat the floodgates of the dam. Kinda reminds me of the kampung folks washing their clothes by the river bank but instead we are washing our bikes

Washing our bikes by the dam edge of the dam
After this all you KL folks will taste our mud in your water :-pOverall, this must be my craziest and wettest hash ever. Usually I would just call off the hash if there is a slight hint of raining but with Sean and Gang determination to carry on with the hash, I really have to salute you guys for the determination. Bear in mind most of them are newbies one is a virgin to MTB. Keep up this good MTB spirit guys. Now we all here can boast that :-WE RODE BATU DAM WHEN IT FLOODED! Well worth all the leeches and mud.
We had a good lunch of Porridge, Fried Mee Mamak, steamed fish in a Chinese shop in Batu Caves. Quite nice but this is another story. :-p

Batu Dam - Part 4 - Leeches, Bikers and a Cold Hard Trail
Further into the trail, Azril and I arrived at a beautiful bamboo grove. The others had gone way ahead. We had to stop to take some photos and to record the GPS location. Check out the location on Google Earth and photo here.
Finally, we got on our way and caught up with the others. The trail after the bamboo grove was a long steep uphill and at certain parts not ridable at all. As we continued, Azril's bike's rear wheel came off alignment and we needed to stop to fix the alignment.
We continued uphill and was rewarded with a nice downhill. Then we came upon some make-shift log bridge and decided to stop. But someone was missing... we were quite concern... not about the person... but more concern about the expensive bike... LOL...
After John and the rest caught up, we continued along the trail. The next incident was caused by a loose gear shifter on George's bike.
After fixing George's gear shifter problem, we continued downhill. The downhill was fast and furious... hard on the brakes and we had to really work the bike to make sure we made it through in one piece. But it was difficult as the path was full of crevices and rocks.
It was exhilarating! The trail opened up to a sandy road. But there was a VERY steep turn to reach the road. And that was where George lost control and plunged into the bushes... LOL. I am sorry... but it was hilarious! I think George deserve the name, "Iron Man" from here on... he is a "made" man... LOL... Luckily, George wore a helmet... in fact he was the only one that wore a helmet...
In any case, it served to remind us to get a helmet before our next hashing trip... LOL... After George recovered from the fall, he found himself bleeding... not because of the fall but because of leeches... :-)
After getting our bearings, we continued towards the northern tip of the dam. Just before reaching the main road, we came across a resort called Riverstone Eco Resort. Check out the location on Google Earth and photo here.
We chatted with some of the workers at the resort and decided to take a break.
After about 30 minutes break, we got onto the main road and rode along the highway circumventing the dam lake. We were now at three quarter way around the lake.
Riding on the road was no fun and rather dangerous with all the traffics! The gate to the dam, our final destination! The last guy have to close the gate... LOL... and it wasn't me... LOL...
Our goal! Finally, we rode on top of the dam! What a sight to behold! Finally, we made a circle around Batu Dam!!!! It was a great feeling... until... John was attacked by an Octopus!!!! Everyone getting ready to pack up and go home... but not me... I had to check out some kampung chickens... LOL..
The final thing left to be done was to pack up and to make sure that nothing was left behind... not even a scrap of paper... :-) As you can see, packing three bikes in the back of George's pickup was no easy task... :-)
I believe all of us felt that the Batu Dam hash we just did, was extremely fun and enormously satisfying. We were and are still very new to Mountain Biking, and we have a lot of lessons to learn, especially about safety and first aids. We must give thanks that no one was injured or harmed in this trip.
Since this Batu Dam hash, a few of us have bought helmets and the club will be arranging for first aid kits. If nothing else, our next trip will be more prepared in terms of safety.

Batu Dam - Part 3 - Leeches, Bikers and a Cold Hard Trail
NOTE: A lot of our videos have been deleted when Google Video died!!! So some of the text may not make sense.
After riding through the Cempedak and Rambutan orchard, Azril and I caught up with the rest of the geeks.
We caught them frolicking in the sun along the "river".... LOL. Ok... ok... it was not exactly a river but one of the many mountain streams feeding the dam. In any case, we shall refer to it as the "river" for effect sake... :-) Check out the location on Google Earth and photo here.
The river was our second obstacle which would require any half ass mountain bikers worth their grain in salt to at least attempt to ride across. We were worth... less... hahahaha. It was kind of pathetic but this "river" crossing was a first for almost all of us newbies... LOL. And of course, that spelt FUN!!!
What we did next was quite remarkable. We had to plan and decide how we were going to shoot videos of the crossing instead of planning on how we wanted to overcome the crossing... LOL. In the end, we just did it!!!!
And what a sight to behold!!! You have to check out the next video to appreciate our ingenuity... LOL.
After everyone had crossed over, Azril, in the true spirit of mountain biking, decided to tackle the "river" again... Did he make it this time around? LOL...
While everyone was checking on their bike, there was something about the bamboo trees surrounding us that reminded us of someone... :-)
When we finally went on our way again, it was a grueling uphill ride through some house and orchards.
I had to stop to catch my breath, as well as to shoot some videos and take some GPS photos to document this part if the journey. What better place to stop than in an orchard surrounded by "cempedak" and durian trees.
As George arrived and while waiting for him to catch his breath, I showed him the "fruits" of my labour... LOL...
Our next stop was at a trail fork. We had to decide whether to take the left or the right trails. After referring to the GPS, we decided to take the right trails. (Later we found out that if we had taken the left trail, our journey would have been much more difficult and longer.)
This next segment of the trail was hilly, muddy and narrow. The surface of the trail was "groovy", as in lined with "longkang"... LOL. If you were to take a cross-section of the trail you will get multiple letters of "W". Looked like someone went through the trail with a dirt bike digging deep into the surface.
In the end we were rewarded with a beautiful icy cold stream to wash our bike and chill out!
It was very tempting to stay on by the stream, but we had to move on. In this next video, we can see how strong man George carried his bike across and up the other side of the stream.. show off... hahaha.
The third obstacle we came across was a tree that had fallen over and across the trail. It was no biggie, as we all made it through without any incident. That is if your mind don;t get carry away... :-)
By now we had climbed up quite a bit into the hilly part of the trail. We started to see leeches and giant ants.

Batu Dam - Part 2 - Leeches, Bikers and a Cold Hard Trail
NOTE: A lot of our videos have been deleted when Google Video died!!! So some of the text may not make sense.
Batu Dam Trail, it was really an excellent trail for hiking and/or mountain biking. The trail was very scenic, beautiful and serene. So many times along our journey we had to stop and enjoy the view.... and of course to catch our breaths... LOL
Anyway, there were in total 7 of us; Azril, Izaini, George, Daniel, John, Ken Wei and me.
Aside from Azril and Izaini, the rest of us are all newbies to mountain biking. Well... George, Daniel and I have had some experience... if you can call it that... at the Rubber Research Institute... LOL Ok, ok... I am stretching it.
Everyone was very excited as this was our first visit to Batu Dam. The only information we had on Batu Dam was from reading the articles and viewing photos on the Internet.
As soon as everyone's bike was ready, we set off to climb the very first slope leading to the dam. Man... what a slope it was... Check out the location on Google Earth and photo here.
Since I was a self-designated video camera man, I had to do my duty by cycling ahead so as to be able to capture the geeks as they rode pass just like on Discovery Channel... LOL.
It was a pretty gentle climb that stretched on and on... at least that's what I felt. Finally we made it to the top. Lo and behold! The dam was really beautiful and calm.
Not quite getting over the sight of the dam, we continued and headed along the trail still beholding the view... LOL.
Then came the first obstacle... a puddle of muddy water... which made us realized that this ain't no sightseeing tour... there were obstacles to over come.... LOL. Anyway, this was a piece of cake for everyone to cross. Check out the location on Google Earth and the photo.
More Discovery Channel footage of the riders... Hahaha...
Around the next corner, I just had to stop to take in the sight and sound. Everyone was ahead of me. But what the heck man... it was serene!
Then I caught up with Azril. He had stopped to take some photographs. Man... I wish I had brought a better camera rather than depending on my Dopod D810. But I needed the GPS photos more, just so we can later refer to Google Earth for our locations through those GPS embedded photos.
Anyway, Azril the naturalist was showing me what a "Jambu Mewah" was. A non-edible fragrant fruit... LOL. Check out the location on Google Earth and a photo of "Jambu Mewah" here. Also, check out the panorama photo that Azril took! Magnificent!!!
As Azril and I continued down the trail, we came across some "cempedak" and "rambutan" trees. Seems there were some people planting a mini orchard.

Batu Dam - The Leechitimization of George and John
What's a cycling adventure without some casualties? George and John was "leeched" and did not know it.
George felt an itch around his crotch and on his thigh. When he scratched, he felt something rubbery and slimy, then he started bleeding.... LOL. Check out George's video:
John, on the other had, did not know about the "leechitization" until we were all back at our vehicles getting ready to pack up.
Check out John's video... :-)
