Question: Who wakes up at 5am on a free-and-easy Saturday?
Answer: Nuts who are into cycling around the countryside, exploring less beaten paths.
It’s always a blessing and a joy to be able to hurtle away from town and get into whichever adventure gear with like-minded activity buddies. One lazy Saturday, it was to be cycling in Sematan.
Off we went, the three of us; minus our Sifu, Yoda and Master Kwai Chang Cane equivalent, who had to save the world from his office.
We piled the bikes on the pick-up and drove 110 km to the coastal village of Sematan, my childhood holiday beachside playground. We clocked 24 km at a leisurely pace, stopping often to take photos, enjoy the scenery and say hello to the friendly locals.
This is a pictorial essay of our trip. For once, I will let pictures paint my words. It was wonderful. I want to savour the joy of the ride in my soul for the moment.
