We just completed a cycling trip from Ipoh -Butterworth-Penang for 3 days. Total distance is 365km. Thanks to PCC (Pedalphiles Cycling Club) from KL that organized this fantastic cycling and there was about 200+ cyclists took part this event from all over the places. We have cyclist from Malaysia, Spore and Germany....That was fun that can get to know many friends there. Even within our group - 12ppl, from Spore, Malacca, and also Penang....Besides, i met up a lot of my old friends there...especially Kah Wai, Fat Meng, Andy, Jordon, Jesster, James the organizer.....many many of them....So consider as kind of reunion among my frens:p

The hotel that we stayed over last 3 days was fantastic! Really thanks to PCC, for their endlessly effort to arrange hotel, cycling route map, mashal car support to success this whole event. Believed every one of us really have nice moments and think to come back again for next year cycling trip!!

The last day was a relaxing trip for us. At 6:30am, we were stand by in front of Summit hotel, Butterworth. Then we were 2 by 2 marching to across Penang Bridge. I believe all of us have kind of feeling that u might only have once in a life time to across Penang Bridge highway with bicycle.....Felt proud of myself and all the cyclist, finally we made it!

After across Penang Bridge, our feeling still very strong. Yet, we have been treated a free breakfast at Queensway mall:) Free coffee and kuih..:) Thanks to some of shop owner use us for publicity:P
