Thanks born free and Gary, I cycled to Bekok once when young, the place is higher ground than Chaah and therefore looks better although both seems to share same piece of sky, hope to join you guy soon, I can fetch 1 person for you who carries minimum equipment as my car is small and packed with staff..

Wow. It must have been wonderful cycling down that beautiful long stretch of road with clear skies above!
