Daytrip by bicycle or motorbike

Here's the second daytrip by bicycle. This trip brings you, roughly,south of Lumut. Cycling south doesn't mean you will cycle all the way to Kuala Lumpur. Remember, these daytrips can easily be done in a day or if you push it a little, in half a day.

The trip starts in Lumut. Ride your bike or motorbike in the direction of Sitiawan. You have to go as far as the second main crossroads (you are in Seri Manjung). Here you go right.

After going right you go until the next traffic lights and go right again. This is the main road to Teluk Rubiah. Now you go on this road for about 2 km until you have passed the housing areas.

Keep an open eye on a sluice. It is on your left hand. In fact there is a little road that leads to a bridge. This is it.

You cross the bridge and follow it for about 10 km. Remember, the road has to be followed straight on. After about 5 km the road bends to the left. However, you have to follow the smaller road that goes straight on. There's a little bridge you have to cross. So follow the smaller road. You will pass more small kampongs until you reach a little Malay fisherman's village.

The road bends to the left. You can refresh yourself a bit at the little food stalls. You are almost at the main road that leads south to Teluk Intan, Klang and Kuala Lumpur.

Once at the main road, go left in the direction of Sitiawan and Ipoh. It's about 10 km back to Sitiawan. You can go two ways back to Lumut. The first one is slightly shorter then the second. If you follow the main road to Sitiawan then you have to turn left in the middle of Sitiawan. You might like to do this if you want to shop a bit, Check our shopping page.

In case you prefer to skip Sitiawan, just follow the direction Lumut, Pangkor. The boards will direct you at the next crossroads to the left and from there on back to Lumut and Pangkor Island.

You might like to do it reverse for the reason that you can make a little side trip to the beautiful beach of Teluk Rubiah and cool off in the sea. You may be doing a daytrip by bicycle but it doesn't mean you shouldn't take time off!

All you have to do is follow the direction Sitiawan and then Teluk Intan. You're on the main road until the km market KLANG 177. Here you go right and cycle all the way back. Watch out because these markers are on the right side of the road if you come from Sitiawan. Take the small road to the right. Here the fun starts.

You will pass a little fisherman village called Kampong Batu Lapan Lekir. Thirsty? No problem, there's a few places to refresh yourself. It's small village with a riverbank full of little boats. Many of the people here are fishermen and farmer.

Just follow the main road now. Leave the village and look at some of the real nice Malay styled houses. Some of them are old, some are newer and some are quite recently build by people who did good business. You have to follow this road for some 9 kilometers.

During this ride you will pass little kampongs. Somewhere halfway, you will come at a junction where the main road bend to the right. Continue straight. You're in Kampong Limau. Little villages and palm trees are down the road.

Finally you will arrive at a sluice. There's a Mosque and two little restaurants. From here you can do two things, go straight back to Lumut or have a swim at Teluk Rubiah. For going to Teluk Rubiah, pass the sluice and go to the main road and turn left. Just follow this road for another 3 kilometers. The beach at Teluk Rubiah is free for visitors. See our Teluk Rubiah chapter for more on Teluk Rubiah.

You have to take the same road back. Follow the direction of Manjung. The markers are on the left side of the road when you come from Teluk Rubiah. Just follow the same road you came in until you reach traffic lights. Go left now until the next traffic lights and go again left. You're on the road to Lumut.

It's an easy daytrip by bicycle although you have to go a bit further then the Damar Laut ride.

For the long distance cyclist this trip may be a good way to avoid a bit of the main roads.
