Refreshment time for the riders
Next stop will be at Gua Musang Town for lunch and 2nd refueling. For this route, it was twisted all the way up till Cameron Highland. This route were a famous route for lots of bikers in Malaysia. It has a long and short curve that will challenge the skill of each riders.
Between Cameron Highland to Gua Musang, it was a new route and it also twist with a long curve and it were n heaven for all touring bike. For me on the Versys and still green in handling the bike, I just take it easy and ride with own capability.
Unfortunately, there was no photo taken along this route since everybody were really enjoying the ride. We only stop when reach the 2nd destination around noon and it's time for lunch.
Lunch!! Done ....
Lunch done!!! Refueling done!! Time to ride again to next destination which is Kuala Trengganu with 220km to go. From Gua Musang to Kenyir Lake via Felda Sungai Aring it will be a trunk road and with 25 bikes on the road it was a long line then.

There is a funny incident happen in this route. In the search of the Felda Sungai Aring junction, the as call lead person has make a wrong turn and end up, we came out back to the same road that has just being pass before :).

Once all the members has regroup, we continue the journey to Kuala Trengganu, but this time we has turn to the right junction that lead to Felda Sungai Aring, which a shortcut to Kenyir Lake and some part of the road are still under construction and this make a ride for sportbike and touring bike a bit difficult but not for us on the Versys & GS. This part of the road were the best for us. For info, the new road connection Kuala Trengganu to Gua Musang via Kenyir Lake were still unofficial road, but with just a short distance which is still under construction, it was a choice for road user to from from east to west with a short distance. We reach Kuala Trengganu about 7:30 pm. With this big number, for rider with pillion, there were overnight in the hotel and for all the single rider, we stay at the guesthouse just few kilometer from the town.
Dinner time & a visit from our fellow rider from local area. Thanks guy for the visit.
Photo shoot at Batu Buruk Beach before depart back home via Kuantan - LPT - Kuala Lumpur -Seremban.
