A Road Ride to Pantai Aceh and back this morning.
The sky was overcast and a little drizzle. A nice weather for road ride. I was a litle late since it was so nice to sleep. I saw a bunch of riders in front of McDonald's Gurney. My first was "wow!". Then two of them showed up, it was niterider and Susumu-san. Niterider called me before I arrived; make sure I did not "forget" my ride pl
We took it easy and chatted all the way to Pantai Aceh. We also stopped at Teluk Bahang for breakfast.
We continued after our breakfast. Susumu-san reached the peak of Jalan Teluk Bahang first.
Then, niterider...:)
And of course, the Dane family too! *ahem*
On our return leg, niterider decided to go round island. Susumu-san decided to follow me to go back to where we started. We finished the ride at around 2pm, almost six hours later.

Hi Fudge,
Should not be a problem as we are not driving cars. It cost RM1.40 only. We buy on returning to Penang.
Cheers,
wusolow
Hey nightrider, no problem.
Await your reply.
Thanks,
wusolow
Guys,
To all who will be going to Kuala Muda, I will be able to make it on Friday. Wusolow, up to your timing now. Post it up at the events column so it will not be missed by others who wish to join la.
Dear nightrider,
Glad you can make it. Stringray and myself will meet you in front of Island Plaza at 6.20am
I do not know whether I'm allowed to post this in the upcoming events column. I see all postings by turbosnail only.
Best regards,
wusolow
If we allow everyone to key in and update the events, we will run out of control soon.
Originally the event column was meant strictly for gclub events, however later the committee decided that it should be opened to allow the events of other clubs and associations to be listed. But I raised this issue of reciprocal listing, meaning if KOTRT's events are listed here its only fair that in their website should have an external link to Gclub. That's all we are asking and reciprocal listing is customary in the web dealings.
Check out our forum http://www.pbb.com.my/node/468
As for individuals who want to list events only special users can do this. At this point only the committee members and turbosnail are special users. But this is only a small privileage given to users who want to do a bit more than normal login users (members). So if you want to be a spcial user all you have to do is to send gclub@gclub.com.my a mail. No big deal. Like I said before "the more the merrier ! "
Wusolow:
Yes, you should be able to. AFAIK, it's open to everyone who would like to make their cycling event known.
Wusolow,
Let me apply visa from the HM first. Let you know in a few days time ok? Thanks for the invite. First, I got to fix my bike.
Especially the Dane.... Round island was not very tough but quite tiring for my legs. I reached around 5pm as I stopped to have lunch with my wife and in-laws in Georgetown. Have to do more of the round island. Interesting ride with a lot of spectacular scenery over in Pulau Betong area and Balik Pulau.
Dear nightrider,
Wow! You have a interesting ride this morning. i still haven't try round island yet. Mayb one day i will follow you. Since yesterday, my bike "koyak" already and need to replace "something".
Dear fellow riders,
If only I can fix my rear gear problem last night, I would join you all. Wow... niterider now training for round island kaki.
Best Regards, Ray
Have to upgrade or else if you should call me and say lets do round island then how am I to go?? At least must know what to expect first ma... :) How's your bike now? Got yourself a new one already? I took my friend's bike this morning as my bike also broke down. Have to take it for repairs tomorrow la.
Dear nightrider,
The first time you invited me to Pearl Hill.. and the 2nd time is Tropical Fruit Farm... I guest the 3rd one will be "round island"....hihi... secret training ah... I dare not to think about the 4th invitation..haha
My new bike will come in about 2 weeks time. I bought the same bike as one of G-club fellow... dare not to mention the name... nanti my name will get black listed...haha..
What happen to your bike? If you are not hurry with the bike, may be I can fix for you...
Best Regards, Ray
Stingray,
Maybe can try out kuala muda next one... hehehe thanks for the offer to repair my bike. I might take it up. Also need your help to teach me a few things about my bike and how to repair it too.
Dear nightrider,
Just like sifu... sometimes, tangan gatal.. jadi mechanic.... sometimes, kaki gatal.. jadi cyclist ma...haha
Best Regards, Ray
Hi nightrider,
Are you working on Friday (27th Nov.'09)? If you're not, than I would like to change the Kuala Muda trip to this day so as to accommodate you. Do let me know earliest as I have to check with stingray and Fudge to see if they are agreeable.
I see you're very enthusiastic today. Good, keep it up.
Any you guy joining the Malakof ride on 31st Dec 2009 to 1st Jan 2010?
I'm going to sign up tomorrow.
Best regards,
wusolow
Dear riders,
I'm fine provide that I can reach back to tanjung tokong before noon. From the google map, seberang perai ferry to kuala muda is only about 20km.
For the Malakof ride, I think one of the condition is that you need a racing bike. May be I'm wrong. better check with the organiser.
Best Regards, Ray
Dear nightrider,
It's confirmed. I meet you in front of Island Plaza at 6.20am. on 27th Nov. 2009
I'm making this a short trip so you should have no problem returning home before noon.
As for the Malakoff ride, I spoke to Mr Mohd Azmi from the organising committee today. He confirmed that using MTB with slick tyres is not an issue.
Best regards,
wusolow
Hi Ray,
In fact I just did the proposed trip this afternoon. Woke up late this morning. Left house at 11.00am, had breakfast and reach jetty by noon. Lunch at Teluk Air Tawar. Left Tlk Air Tawar around 1.30pm. Did Kuala Muda. Then proceed to Kota Kuala Muda where the old fort is before returning home. Since you have to return home early, we'll skip Pantai Merdeka.
Best regards,
wusolow
wusolow,
i'm ok with the early timing, and go on public holiday 'hari raya haji' itself wont' the ferry services be very full of people if we come back at peak timing? by the way how much is ferry for cyclist and the bicycle? do we have to buy return tickets on the spot, or buy when need to travel back?
