With a filled stomach from last night dinner I believe we all slept well. I look at my handphone clock and it showed 4:11am. Damn....2 hours earlier than my normal weekday routine. What to do as we love food and we must have dim sum before we suffer for the next 5-6 hours on the road. It was 5:15am when we stand in front of the dim sum store with door closed but we were lucky as one small dim sum shop already open down the street. Yum yum....
We ride to Sri Malaysia to meet up with the Kulim gang and head to the starting point, Casuarina Hotel. We let the PCC official riders go 1st since we are considered "lumba haram" because we did not register for PCC officially. At the same time Danny tyre burst so we all waitied for him for ~30mins. Danny and Khalib will need to go at least 40km/hr to close the gap with the 1st pelaton and they did, not surpise to us.
The route is really unique where it passed thru many small villages with less car and more side view. We ride thru Perlop, Lintang, Kati, Karai, Kuala Kangsar, Padang Rengas, Air Kuning and last stop at Taiping Lake Garden. Places that we never heard off and it is really an enjoyment plus the countless rolling hills that added more fun to the ride...yahoooo....When we reached Taiping my meter show 155km at 1:15pm. But Danny and the gang should be there an hour earlier.
Dinner, must talk about food other than riding la. We went to Matang to have seafood (somewhere close to Sepatang) which is recommended by a local Taiping dude. I am sure we all made our stomach very happy that night. By the way, we got a surprise call from chipsmore said he is on his way joining us riding tomorrow. Mr Chipsmore is always unpredictable. But i am sure we all happy to have him around. Day 2 Taiping to Bukit Mertajam 130km.....to be continue.
