6 of us took part in KLMBH Epic Hash Ride that was held on 29th June 2008.
The ride site was at Ulu Rening. If you don’t know where that is, it’s somewhere near Ulu Yam or somewhere near Batang Kali or somewhere south of Kuala Kubu Baru or the most recognizable area, somewhere northwest of Genting Highland.

Had an early breakfast at a kampong located on the way to the ride site and by 8.30 am we were at the ride site. It’s a good thing the guys at KLMBH got a, “apparently” abandon football field that was able to accommodate so many cars.Ah Ping "ICE" and Ah Yong
I introduced myself to Scott and Brian, who are 2 of the 3 guys responsible for the Epic ride. Scott told me that he’s glad we made it there but we might regret coming. “Oh oh”, looks like it going to be a tough ride from the looks of it. When you look around the area, you’ll see mountains after mountains surrounding us.

I take my hat off to the 3 hares for an excellent job of getting the 2 loops that make up the total distance of about 45km.

The first loop was like the teeth of a saw. It goes up, then down, then up again, x 100 times. It sounds bad but I would rate the trail good as most parts were rideable. It was refreshing to pass water streams that provided some recovery time as we clean our bikes, no thanks to yesterday’s wet day that made some part of the trail muddy.Munir waiting for his turn to negotiate a narrow path
One the unrideable spot
We passed through an orang asli village and it was really nice to see the people especially the cute children cheering us. 
I had initially planned to ride both loops but when I finished the first loop, it was already 1pm and most of my group members had already cleaned their bikes. So with the thought of driving back to Malacca and lunch signals emitting from the stomach, I decided to also call it a day.
Thank you to Scott TDF Roberts, Brian Wearing & Ying How and the people at KLMBH for organizing a Shiok ride.
