Salam. Yet, another exciting ride or Balik Kampung for Raya for this year to be shared.

A day before I managed to do some preparation, touch-up my bike, including service (oil change, final drive check, coolant, brake shoe etc.)

The day is a bit cloudy on Saturday 21st October 2006. Departed from Kuching by 6.49am, Nazir (my brother using TZM 150cc) and I arrived half an hour later at Serian by 7.15am. From Serian, took about less than 2 hours drive to Sri Aman (didn’t stop there) and directly drive to Betong which arrive around 40 minutes there because of rain and wet road. Reached there by 10.30am. Fuel consumption from Kuching until Betong was amazingly costs approximately RM20.00 or 14 litres so far!

Spent about 30 minutes at Betong’s fuel station, we sprint to our next stop at Sarikei at 50~60 mph (100~120kmj), and arrived there about an hour later (99km).

Took some photos at Sebangkoi, then stopped at Sarikei-Sibu junction for a couple of minutes then continued to Sibu using Lanang road. Reached Lanang by 1230pm and decided to stay an hour at Sibu.

Gosh, Sibu is really hot during that hour, but not long enough before nimbus cloud brought heavy rain in Sibu and Nazir and I stuck again in Sibu for and hour, and later another hour between Stapang and Selangau by 4 pm. Heavy rain is dangerous because our sight is limited and slippery road. Passed Selangau by 4pm then have to slow down a bit at Selangau-Mukah’s bumpy-holes everywhere-or-whatever road after that. At last, destination reached (Mukah), by 5.15pm.

That will sum up nearly 11 hour’s journey? No pain no gain.

Home sweet home
