Total distance based on my speedometer: 171km from Penang Island to Ipoh Utara.
Early in the morning where the moon is still high in the sky we started our journey in Penang and 2nd group in Kulim. We met up at Sungai Bakap after 2 hours ride plus ferry to Butterworth. Traffic at Prai was horrible and we have to stop multiple times to squeeze thru between cars/bas kilang/lorry and some senseless/selfish drivers. Our 1st stop at Kamunting for a quick breakfast before we continue our journey. Another stop at Kuala Kangsar for a cooling "mata kucing" and "air kelapa". Someone has to recall my memory because i think we stop at Chemor (or somewhere else) to take cover from the heavy rain. It is to avoid the bike getting wet and dirty (ya for those who loves bike more than themselves). For the last 20km the secretary was suffering as the lactic acid accumulate on her tight that she can hardly pedal >20km/hr. Thank you for those who waited for her. We parted at Tasek and ended our 1st day ride with all arrive safe and sound. The Peng Soon's group took a cab to the town to have a sumptuous feast at "Lo Wong" bean sprout chicken shop. We consumed one whole chicken with many phoenix feets as well (chicken feet la in lay man term). We called it a feast because for the last few hours we only have water, 100 plus, water....... Of course we did not stop here and continue to have fried koay teow the ipoh way then fruit ice kacang before we call it end. What a day! Got to sleep early as someone suggested to go have breakfast at 5am!!
