Kuala Sapetang ride

172km ride to Kuala Sapetang. Many know that Kuala Sapetang is well known for Mee Udang but few actually know that its previous name was Port Weld which have connection to our Malaysian history. We have 22 riders who decideto punish themselves to ride the whole distance for a bowl of 10 large prawn "Mee Udang" . There were a bit of added excitement this time around with the "short cut" 5km kampong road from the trunk road to Kuala Sapetang crossing under the North South toll highway. He we rode beside the highway for about a total 500 meters before going under it. It was an interesting adventure to ride road bike in a relatively rideable kampong road and decided to ride thru it again on the way back. Another unusual stop was at a cendol store in Kulim. Overall a pretty control ride and glad that every one made it safely.
