After "Scorpion Ride" at beginning of year 2006, we planned another tour in bike again across from 2006 to 2007 to Langkawi.
From starting of 3 ppl in group (me,ChuiMiew and Hinwai) expended to 7ppl of now (me,CM,HW, Chong Wah, Chee Chung and 2 new member - Julita and Miow Chin. This is their 1st time to pick up long distance cycling, but their splrit in cycling along this trip was quite impressing!!
Chui Miew had done a bravo job by preparing cycling route and drafted out the itinerary and items to bring, was quite helpful especially for our new comers.
We have 2 cars, one from Singapore and one from KL. We drived all the way from S'pore to Penang, was really enough to killing me and Chong Wah.....that's y we were saying must ask north ppl come down to south for cycling on next trip:P
Then meet up Penang group (Julita& MiowChin) on 30th Dec and we stayed overnite at Julita's house.
On 31st Dec early morning 7am, we departed from Julita house and cycled to Jetty. Took regular ferry across river to Butterworth. From there, started our cycling journey. We were passing thru Sungai Petani (43km) --> Bedong (56km) --> Merbok (69km) -->Yan (83km) --> Sg. Limau (95km) --> Kuala Kedah (120km). Finall we were reaching Kuala Kedah at 4:50pm. (Source from Chui Miew) Most of buttock really pecah liaw due to long hours sat on saddle. Actually it was quite true that racer bike is not quite comfortable for bike touring, especially for long distance.

After 45min of boat ride, we were finally reached Langkawi with warm welcome of Chee Chung's friend- Sandra. Lucky we had her to bring us to cheap dorm hostel. It was quite new and fully equipped yet with cheap price (only RM20 per person).
At nite, we were celebrating Happy New Year by watching firework from TV....but surprisingly we saw firework at Langkawi island!!
It was quite nice to celebrate this special day with all my best friends there. I think we are getting less and less chance to be gather gather....perharps only me, coz i was moving away from them to S'pore. So, i really treasure the moments with u all - my friends.
Really excited and hoping we are going to have another bike touring trip soon, perharps in oversea?
