It was a fantastic ride. Going through a new trail although a tad further than the normal route was a very good experience. I feel the torture part of the ride was the journey from Petronas Paya Terubong to the peak only. The rest of the ride was very enjoying.
Looking forward to more of these rides. Now for the Kulim Night Ride this coming Saturday!!!

Clocked 35km on my GPS.
The trail condition was perfect. I am also glad to see one of my recce partners, Andy the Green Hornet showed up. He has been out of saddle due to wrist injury for the last few months!
Captain, why so few photos? Sorry cannot make it this morning as i slept 3 am (working lah). the trail looks ok and looks like most of the riders have already joined the morning ride. tried to get jason and daniel to come along with me for Round Island at 4 pm, no luck. who is the rider down? Dont lah put the photo up, not macho.
On 1st May, the Penang triathlon group planning a 250 Km ride from Ferry jetty to hatdyai. Proposed speed leisurely 30 kph. Anticipated riding time 9 - 10 hours . There will be 14 of us riding all road bike. Anyone interested pls let me know. Meeting at Ferry terminal at 530 am> Pls confirmed, do not just show up. u may have sleep on the road side as accomodation need to be arranged.
Doc, upload n save before finish, so you can only see partial. finished uploading 56 photos not long ago. go check it out.
20 riders turn up for the ride or rather "torture" but Turbo and Andy !!!
Who was down ?? the usual suspect la !!! come ride with us again and i am sure he will show you another way to go inside the ravine together with his bike !! he likes his bike so much that he refuse to let go !!!
Shall leave it to other to tell stories.
Sorry, 1st May trip to Hatyai cannot make it. 15 of us going for the Kulim Night Ride Jamboree. Our G Club "stuntman" also part of the team. Pretty worried as will be riding at night. What happens if no one sees him in the dark ??? Sleep in the jungle until the next day ....?? Hmmm..... shall discuss with other members on how to go about it.
Kapitan, make that 16 of us for the Kulim Night ride. I have just registered yesterday night as last minute entry and my name has been listed as number 764th in their list of participants. They have 770 pax, as I write and will close at 800 pax. According to them, jerseys will be late in delivery. Guess we have to take our goodie bags first. I'll meet you guys there as I will be coming from SP. I will keep in touch with you or any of the guys.
They are lighting up some areas with LED lights shown below. Hope these will illuminate the tracks well enough as markers as the LEDs are quite small.
