Pontian-Simpang Renggam

Date: 19/04/2009
Distance: 100km

We had a mix feeling today, with Buyung and Azies both had a tyre puncture before heading to Simpang Renggam.

We get a free ride from Pontian to Api-Api

Pictures above shows the newly built road near Felda Bukit Batu. The clear field on both side is actually a pineapple farm. Everything looks perfect at this moment

These pictures were take on a bridge above the north-south highway

A few shots from the route towards Bukit Batu to Simpang Renggam. Man, I feel tired when I see these pictures

We took our break here at the Medan Selera, Simpang Renggam


We don't usually make two break during our ride but today is exceptional. The weather was too hot for us especially Azies and me. The above pictures shows a small traditional shop selling refreshment. We felt very comfortable under the nipah roof (2nd picture)

I manage to take a shot that show how hot and sunny that day. As the Sun is straight up above your head you had nothing to cheer up except hoping the ride will end as soon as possible.

Pontian-Gunung Pulai

Date: 05/04/09
Distance: 54km

We were glad to see Azies back in action after a long break. By the way, we like to congratulate him for his new born daughter. The first picture shows Azies tried to rectify his new sigma wireless meter. Unfortunately this new meter was unable to received the wireless signal and had to be replaced. I did experienced the same situation and for me the cateye meter was much better. We also let Azies lead the way for today's ride

Buyung also not in his best perform today. Picture shows his new wheelset. Today we try a new route to Gunung Pulai. Unfortunately I couldn't remember the name of the route. I will update the name once I got the info

After we took a break at Gunung Pulai 2 we move back around 10.00 am. On our way back we met this JCB near Pekan Nanas and follow it almost all the way back to Pontian. We plan to ride a greater distance in our next ride. Hope you guys have a nice outing too. See ya...
