9Mar2012. Friday. Motorrad Malaysia All-State 4-Corner Peninsula Ride Day 3
Everyone was looking forward to get away from Ariff Hilton and on our way to the South-East Corner of the Peninsula.
Awaiting us ahead was about 400km of pristine uncrowded tarmac that runs along the coastline, with the blue waters of the South China Sea on our right.
Breakfast at the hotel was abysmal so we will fillup on the road.
Our Route today
Leaving the Hotel
Punggai, the South Easternmost point is about 24km south of Ariff Hilton. I noticed only one car on the road that morning.
Light drizzle when we neared the point
Unfortunately, the concept of "Love the Environment" escapes my fellow malaysians, and garbage was strewn everywhere

Back on the road
Although the road was straight, with very few curves, we all enjoyed the deserted surroundings.
We stopped a few km from Kuala Sedili for breakfast.
Back on the road
Crossing Sg Sedili Kecil
Sedili Kecil River
The road goes inland, and we enter Felda Tenggaroh, the scenery changing to vast expanse of Oil Palm estates.
Seeing the roads deserted, the cam whoring desire surfaced, and we stoppe for some photos.

Heading for the sole gas station
Coincidently, 4 of us were wearing the Lime Green BMW Jacket, the color similar to the hi visibility jackets worn by janitors and streetsweepers.
We were called the Alam Flora Team by everyone
The Ducati needs a sweep
On leaving the Petrol station, we were delighted by the grippy road surface, the gentle flowing curves, and the lack of traffic.
Heavenly.....
Just as we thought the road could not get better it did, after this junction
the Jemaluang to Mersing road must have been designed by a biker, surface smooth, cambers correct, plenty of run-off,
great visibility and hardly any traffic.
52km of bliss.
Mersing
The road that leads to Pekan is also another nice stretch
Rompin
We rode through the Gunung Arong Forest reserve
The Worlds biggest prawn farming setup. 6km by 2km along the coast.
Yet another 40km of pretty roads, deserted in blue skies.
Alex caught taking some shots by the beach
We stopped about 3km from the town of Pekan to regroup.
We rode through Pekan, the Royal Town in Malaysia's biggest state, Pahang,
There is a highway linking Pekan to Kuantan, the capital of Pahang, but we took a detour to ride coastal. This is Kg Cerok Paloh.
Kampong Sepat is a small rustic fishing village with a sandy beach fronting the South China Sea
We stopped here for a break
I rode on the beach
Then it was time for more camwhoring

We continued on
We met up with some local Kuantan Bikers for tea,
They escorted us through town to our hotel
We arrived at Legend Hotel, Cherating at about 1600hrs. Janna and Ariff were there waiting for us and will be joining us tomorrow.
Nice room overlooking the sea
Dinner
We covered another 400+kms today. Weather was great throughout.
