Cycling: Bukit Putus

Bukit Putus is located in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan and is made up of the Federal Route 51 which connects Seremban to Kuala Pilah. The formerly main route was constructed by the British in 1920s (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Federal_Route_51) and remained as the notorious touge route for enthusiasts looking the the thrill of driving/riding. An alternative route has since been built in 2006 with its public use starting from 2009 but the old roads of Bukit Putus remained with fewer traffic. This old trunk road is not only popular amongst drivers, but along with tourists and jungle trekkers who also frequent the route to reach the foothills of Gunung Angsi.
