Weekend Bike & Camp ride
Hello foldies,
Been a while since my last post.. Here's a recent ride I did with a buddy...
Waiting for Roger at KL Sentral
The Mcbreakfast crowd..
Roger and his bike in a bag...
Ready to roll..
Lots of hauling!
The bikes..

Very nice images thanks for sharing all of these. Beautiful environments with incredible views in perfect weather. I could certainly spend a week or more in that area. We should have public transport and bikes everywhere.
