Cranky Interstate ride--day 3

Day 3


Knowing the unforgiving sun if we started late, we started before 7am for the day. Anyhow, it was a tough trip. Traffic was heavy as we headed towards Klang. Matter was worsen by the fac that road condition was not good with lots of uneven patches. There were also some minor wrong turns while finding our ways.



Early start of the day after breakfast

The coffee shop boss were even called in from his house to make coffee for our batch of unexpected early customers


Passing Klang was a big deal, with lots of cars and confusing junctions. Our riders eventually did better than the support cars, as they could go against the traffic flow while the cars were trapped. We eventually had to wait for the cars to find their way ouf from the city. By then it was 11am and the sun started to show its full strength. We made another wrong turn. Uncle and Christene lost their way and was ferried by car for about 10km until our next pit stop at a Petronas nearby Dengkil and KLIA.

It was decided that uncle and Christine would continue after our next pit stop. Then started the most punishing part of the day’s journey. Blazing hote sun, minor rolling hills and strong head winde challenged our mindset. We pressed on till our next stop at Sepang, where we ate chicken rice and wantan mee (again).



The pirate and ninja riders are here …



Lifting the bike has nothing to do with Sepang F1 circuit, but all of us did it. Ah Wei is showcasing his strength here and rightly deserves it. He is our strongest and fastest rider.
Let’s toast for our good lunch at Sepang. Cheers












Then came the real rolling hills all the way up to Lukut. From Lukut onwards, the hills were not that high as we made our final crals to Port Dickson. The Pejabat Belia and Sukan offier was kind enough to wait for us beyond office hour.



150km for today trip and ended at Pork Dickson
Later, we checked into our supposingly most luxury stay for the journey, but it turned to be the most troublesome. First, we told we were given the wrong room, making us shifting all our cycles and belongings to many floors away. Then one of the room got no water and were shifted again.






The view from our hotel is the only nice thing about the hotel at Pork Dickson


 


Anyhow, we were compensated with good dinner. Flower lost her camera by leaving it at the restaurant but eventually we got it back.



Good food here









Our couple is too full from the dinner?
