6 crankies joined the Hatyai ride from Bukit Kayu on Friday. The event was organized by a cyclist in Alor Setar and ~50 particants joined the event. We departed from Sbr Jaya hospital ~4.15am and reached the border ~5.30am. We parked at duty free and crossed the border at 6.00am morning. We met all the riders and start cycling ~7.20am. After an hours plus, we stopped by for the famous chicken rice for breakfast. Then, we continued cylcing before we made another stop 4km from Hatyai. We waited half an hour there for everyone to arrive but seen like not everyone there. So, we decided to continue our ride. We arrived at the hotel ~11.00am and proceed to check in. We rented the roon for 4 hours with 6 crankies and the bike all inside the room. After the quick shower, we went out to visit few bike shops and lunch. We had ~2 hours free and easy and we went back to hotel for checked out ~3.30pm.
The journey back was very tough. It is very hot and strong head wind. We all suffered a lot from the headwind and have to make a stop for every 20km. Furthermore, the last 20km even more suffering where we have to climb through the hilly road. Anyway, we all managed to reach the border @7pm and procced to cross the border and back to Msia.
It is a good trip and we certainly look forward for next one. Thanks Michael from Alor Satr for organizing such a good event.
