Pantai Merdeka Ride- Update

It was our 3rd attempt to make >100km ride. It should be on Sunday but got pushed to Monday. 10 persons, 4 hours, 110km. Bullet, Cannon, Fuji, Rocket, Smile, Al@n, Louie, PC and special guest Md Nor all joined the ride. It should be a simple ride since it is flat road. But, it turns out to be quite a tough one. On the way to PM, we did a few stops as we are not sure on which route since there are few routes. So, the fast and furious Rocket and Bullet were riding fast until they overshoot toward Tasek Gelugor while we were wanted to use the Pinang Tunggal. Anyway, they managed to make u turn and rejoined the group. From there, we headed toward Pinang Tunggal, Tikam Batu. Short rest at tikam batu and we managed to reach Pantai merdeka ~9:15am. Waited for the rest to arrive and ready to head back for breakfast. We stopped by at one of the stall ~5km from Pantai Merdeka as it is the nearest and only stall selling roti canai at 9.50am. But, don’t under estimate the stall, they served very good roti canai and Nescafe tarik. After the breakfast, it was getting very hot even it is only 10,20am. We decided we go through the shortest route back via Penaga and reached KHTP at ~ 12.15pm.

  1. Nice photos and good blog. Yeah.. I think the roti-canai was good. I think we need to supply bananas for long ride like this.

  3. for me:
    first quarter of the ride: fast and furious-> need 32km/h to follow you guys

    2nd quarter: hungry like h*ll and can't keep up with the high speed

    3rd quarter: replendish but still can't keep up with speed, feel like gonna cramp

    4th: cramp, got to cycle at below 22km/h to move on

    i got to rajin cycling more to close the gap
