Salam & Good day !
Last weekend , it was another good time for me together with MKH fellas. We were having a trip to Penang with road bike. This time the meeting point was at Maybank Butterworth. I was again on my mission to improve my endurance since 3 weeks off from road biking. The day before, Hadi & me went to Jawi for Saturday warm up before joining MKH. Overall riders turned up that morning was around 30 riders, some of them pedaling from BM & Kepala Batas. Mine...sorry, i just drove my car to meet there..hehe i was not able to ride again back to home at 1pm that day....crazy i think.
This is my 1st attempt boarding into ferry with " cik Bhiru ". Normally i just boarding with car or motorad. I considered this very unique..! While riding that morning, i've made decision to always riding behind " cik Lan "...you know what...i wanted to be in with front runners group so that i always in leading group. After halfway climbing Batu Ferringhi, the front runners group already show off their crazy things, climbing with average 30 kph while mine only 20 kph...
It was the same story as i did during Kg. Masjid ride...riding alone... but anyway this time i had improve my endurance & i'm still able riding at 100m behind them.....& at the mean time there was no riders behind me, approx 18 riders at the back...! Quite satisfied this time. While maintaining my cadence, rain start to fall. So most of the front runners aborted the ride & lepaking at Mamak Stall.
After 45 mins taking good rest while charging up energy, we then decided to climb the hills almost 10 km after the Telok Bahang dam. I was again facing similar difficulties as i did not managed to be in the group of 5 front runners (Cik Wahab, Uncle Hussein, Madi, Cik Anuar & Cik Shukri Gula ).. but i'm still proud of myself of being able to put more calories to burn out....& most of them heading back to Jetty while stopping for the 2nd time for light booster by having " Laksa Tsunami ".
Anyway, riding in the island was something that you should try....it was like Cameron....riding in deep forest was something very special. I love this ride.
