West Malaysia loop ride

One of the most important aspects of a ride like the WMLR is the planning of the route and the job gets harder with every ride. Obviously, the route must take into consideration several important factors: the total distance for each leg, the range of the bikes and availability of fuel stations within the bike with the smallest range, the availability of reasonable accommodation and security at the destination locations among others.

Another important factor to consider is the overall uniqueness of the locations. It is very important for me that people see new places in each ride so I do my best not to duplicate destinations. However, in many cases, some locations will have to be duplicated. As usual, I try to avoid the major expressways as much as possible so we are riding on the roads less traveled (so to speak). So with all of that in mind, the route for this WMLR2012 is now confirmed.

The planned route will take us in a loop around the West Malaysian peninsular. We will be riding along both coasts (the east and the west) and borders (the north and the south). We will be riding on some of the best roads available in West Malaysia and across the deepest mountain range that runs along the centre of the peninsular. We will be visiting some of the less known places as well. All in all, this looks like a very promising route indeed!

The destinations in this route includes Kuala Selangor, Pulau Pinang, Kota Bahru, Temerloh and Tanjung Sedili. We will also be making stops in many places along and around the route and destinations. I am sure that some of these places sound foreign to you and that is precisely why we will be visiting them.

Do leave a comment if you know of interesting places that is not too far from the route. Who knows, the place you recommend might end up being the one that we all remember!

In the meantime, keep checking back and experience the route and destinations through our eyes. It promises to be a journey to remember!
