Riders still at steady pace along Jalan high tech
Minor delayed as usual and we departed 15min ~6.45am. It is great sunday morning and everyone is riding a steady pace understand it is not a 40km ride. After turning into sedim road toward desa aman, fast riders started to pull of with stunning speed like it is 10km to finish. Very quickly the peloton get splited into few gorup. Alberto and Keong leading the charge toward desa aman where we made the 1st stop.
1st stop before turn into kulim-baling free way
Support car arrived with his first customer after 1st 15km ride
The next turn is the long and hilly route with ~33km long. Again the fast riders show no mercy. They keep pushing and again the slower drivers falled behind. Alberto, Keong and Bullet very quickily pulled off a gap from the rest. Rocco, John,Loong,Tua Chiak n Rocco's cousion keep chasing from behind. When Tua Chiak almost catch the leading group, we had the 1st punture on the day, Tua Chiank tyre blown and we have to stop to repair. The rest of riders managed to pass through and we all meet at our second stop right about the junction before we turn into Balong town.
By that time, the delicious cheese cake from Michelle Obama is almost gone.
After that water stop and food intake, we continue the journey toward Baling, very soon we were joined by a group of riders from Pengkalan Hulu. They were leading us to G.inas and pengkalan Hulu.
Break at G.inas rest area. Who is the best model
I beleive is wooi and flower
Support rider: Halim
As usual, group photo before heading to Pengkaln Hulu for Brunch.
Arriving Pengkalan Hulu. It is almost 11am
Everyone ready for the brunch.
thanks to little John..who sponsored us 100plus..habis sekelip mata.
After the brunch, everyone ready to go home. The sun getting hotter. For the rest of it, i will let the picture speak to it. Bottomline, thanks to Ah Hong for escorting the group and provide the support back to Kulim. Else, there should be a lot victims cralwing back.
Few left completing this monster trip. Heavy rain on the last 10km save the day. Tua Chiak have to give up due to tyre porblem. PC Tang with 10km to go also give up due to heavy rain.
Champion for the day. Bullet Tan for consistently riding fast pace for 140km.
Man of the day, Pirate from tambun for never give up despite heavy rain and wife get a support car to pick up

Sunday Ride Sep 6th-- Kuala Gula
After last week chick-viewing trip, this time crankies went to a Malaysian tourist site famous for its chicks- Kuala Gula. Kuala Gula is a small fishing in Perak, famous as a bird sanctuary for local and migratory birds.
A friendly Kuala Gua ah hia shoots this photo for all of us
13 Crankies started the journey at 7am from Simpang Ampat, in front of Oz Cycle shop. They were Alberto, Barrack, John, Rocco, Senyum, KY, tua chiak, Wooi & wife (let’s call her flower), Lim, Alex, Moy & Long. There were several firsts in this trip. Alex has just got his bike from Oz the night before and this would be his first long distant trip with us. It was the rare occasion where we had a lady rider with us. For the very first time, we had a support car, in the form of Alberto’s car. We later find this support car to be important and useful. The weather was nice at such early hours and we leisurely cruised at around 30 km/h. We followed the number 1 federal road, passing Sungai Bakap and Nibong Tebal. Not far from Nibong Tebal, we took a right turn into the road that would lead us all the way to Kuala Gula. The road was really nice to ride on- there were very few vehicles, very straight and flat with nearly no potholes to avoid. The only thing that we did need some maneuvers was to avoid some water trapped on the road following a downpour few hours before. Coupled with the cooling morning breeze, the crankies sped ahead, leaving behind Wooi who was on a ‘pato’ ride with Flower and Alex. After passing Tanjung Piandang, a fishing village famous for its Big Head Prawn, some fast crankies max up their speed again at 35km/h. They even speed up the majestic bridge that span the river Kurau at Kuala Kurau. We made a brief stop after the bridge, at the edge of an oil palm plantation, which made a perfect place to answer the call of nature. As soon as Wooi and Flower caught up, we continued our journey. With roughly only 10km to reach Kuala Gula, the fast crankies speed above 35 km/h again.

Saplings of mangrove tree. Albert said he wanna plant one at home. We can chart this as his birthday gift in future
Wooi and Flower can’t stop ‘pato’. Here they are ‘mei mu chuan qing ’ – passing message using eyes sight
We reached Kuala Gula at 9am. The locals were just starting to lay out black sheet on the roadside for making dried prawns. We followed a dirt road that ran along a mangrove swamp. We didn’t manage to see any chicks, but we saw some locals catching fishes. We took some photos, and with the help from friendly local ah hia, decided that we would try to had some famous local food. The search for food was a short one, but it leaded us through the single track road town (well, single track for car). Wooden fisherman style house lined both sides of the road, with some of them providing a roof across the road, kind of special which I had never seen in other fishing village. We didn’t manage to sample the famous local food (crab mee hoon) but the place where we ate did offer some nice food (char kuey teow, kuey teow teng and fried eggs). The place doesn’t had sign board and was at the junction that leads towards the small but beautifully decorated roundabout at the village.
Ah hia giving us direction
And we cruise along the single road village with roof spanning the road, in search of food

This local store serves some good Kuey Teow
yummy
Rocco: Kuey teow is good source of energy for me to lead the pack later
The sun started to shine and we quickly amass to start our journey back. We started at 25 km/h cruising speed but that didn’t last long. Soon we were on 31 km/h, leading mostly by Wooi, who has saved up lots energy during his dating ride with Flower (who decided to continue her journey on support car). Our support vehicles started to showcase its important role, picking up some riders down with cramp along the way. Somewhere after Kuala Kurau, we met Alex, whom we thought had abandoned the journey earlier. He was picked up by our support car as well. As we raced through another small township, we were amazed + relieved that our support car personnels had bought us 100-Plus and waited for us by the roadside, just like how a checkpoint in a Jamboree would be. Recharged by the isotonic drinks, we continued to speed away at 31 km/h. However, the distant started to show its effect on more of us. At 90 km , Senyum started to lag due to leg cramp, only manage to catch along at 27 km/h for the rest of the journey. At Nibong Tebal, barrack was also down with cramp and changed with some riders on the support car. John was waiting for Senyum and helped Barrack, and missed his chance to speed along with the rest of the pack, who started to speed again for the last leg of the journey. Despite these minor incidents, we eventually reached Oz cycle shop safe and sound at around 12.30pm, covering 108 km for the entire trip, with Rocco being the first to reach the finish point. The gang was indebted with the support vehicle team for their great help and was looking forward for the forthcoming long distance trip : 150 km Kulim-Tanjung Dawai

Yeah, we are gonna resume our journey after Tua Chiak’s tyre puncture at Tanjung Piandang
Our pit stop with free flow 100 Plus at final CP. Toast for our support crews
Total recorded distance, 104.54km
