Wow Fraser's loop seems deadly! we usually ride round Penang island which is around 80km.
Support vehicle is good RM40 is not bad for decent group of riders, and also a backup incase of emergency like in your case.

Pg can ride from paya terubong to balik pulau kah? If yes can do “figure 8” ride instead of just the round island ride.

Can do figure 8, but abit dangerous, too many cars and motorbike squeeze here on these roads and can't even ride at good speed, unless you ride very very early before the bus kilang starts working.

Its all depends on the distance that you are planning to do. These are the places where i usually start from:

Bukit Tunku (google Sid's Bar Bukit Tunku or CIMB Bukit Tunku). Ample of car parks, free and secured. From here, you could cycle east through Setapak and then Jln Gombak Lama which will bring you to Hospital Orang Asli (Gombak) and then Genting Sempah. Continuing east from Genting Sempah will bring you to Janda Baik and Bentong which are common destination for Klang Valley cyclists on weekends. If you are adventurous, you could further continue past Bentong to Tras, Tranum and eventually will arrive at Fraser's Hill and then Kuala Kubu Baru, Batu, Selayang and back to Bukit Tunku. 210KM of goodness with 2100 meters of elevation. The loop is known as Gap loop, Fraser's Loop or Hell's loop.

Hospital Orang Asli (Gombak), Sup Power (opposite UIA) are another common place to park if you are doing Genting Sempah or places around it.

PCC always park at Genting Sempah RnR if they are doing Fraser's / Hell's / Gap's loop

Hope that helps

I definitely would like to try your suggestion to park at bukit tunku but i'm really not familiar with the place and most probably will be riding alone.
I guess parking at HOA and ride all the way till janda baik would be a good start for me.

gonna stay away from anything that is >100km as I haven't been cycling for a very long time, just recently started back and looking forward to stay active

This would be a great way to start if you are not familiar with the place. You cant go wrong once you are at HOA as you will see tonnes of cyclists passing there to Genting Sempah and places around it

Unfortunately, not much cyclists would be there during weekdays. You won’t be seeing much of them compared to weekends
