Our 1st Round Island Trip

Team AEG had our 1st Round Island trip !!

Too bad Dan Ooi can't join this round as he is still recovering from his fracture.

It was raining in the morning.. from 3am till around 8am.. Our initial plan was to push off at 7am but was delayed to 8:15am because of the rain.

Pushing off from Tesco Egate.

Me with the Giant NRS3 from Project NRS. It is fitted with 1.5" Slicks for the trip.

It was a successful trip. And we covered 80km on this route : EGate - Jetty - Gurney - Tg Bunga - Bt Ferringgi - Teluk Bahang - Balik Pulau - Genting - Teluk Kumbar - Bayan Lepas - Bayan Baru - EGate

The only problem we faced was me getting bitten by a stapler !

Duo on a BP - TB Dam - BP Road Trip

In conjunction with the Penang Dragon Boat Festival. Jessie and I decided to cycle from home (Balik Pulau) to Teluk Bahang Dam. It will be a 30km round trip.. and we will also be able to witness the opening ceremony of the Dragon Boat Festival 09.

We left late around 10am... We are on our way !! 

Our first stop... The starting point of uphill stretch along Sg Rusa -> Sg Pinang.

We are then intimidated by some superbikers.. who later on turned back and overtook us at 10 times the speed.. 

Yeay !! We reached the Dam.. We are allowed to cycle into the park where the Dragon Boat  rowers' tents are and the sponsors tents too..

We got free 100 Plus :P Jessie and I took turns to grab them as we were kinda thirsty..

After taking pictures around the Dam.. we headed back... 

Oh my... 18KMs to reach home.. and it is already lunch time.. 

The downhill section.... wwweeeee...... Jessie nearly fell, emergency brake and the bike skidded nearly 90 degrees one way and then the other...  Thank God she did not even fell off the bike.

Our route today... Total of 30.5 km...  Not too bad...  Let's see what awaits me tomorrow..
