Sat: Balik Pulau Ride/ Sun: Air Itam Dam & Hillturn

Date: 16/1/2010
Riders: Chng, Freddy, CheeWei, Mei Ling, Wai Jia
Route: BJI -> Teluk Kumbar -> Balik Pulau -> Jalan Tun Sardon -> BJI
Distance -> ?
Duration -> 4.5hrs

Easy ride to accompany our new members. Supposed to have few new lady members joining in but only one turn up as the others have last minute commitments. Green Wheelers welcome Wai Jia.

Ride out from Parkview at 7am and stop by Bayan Lepas Waterfall. It was a surprise to see a nice waterfall beautifully renovated with tiles enclosing a big pool. Would bring my family there for a splash day soon.

We then set out to Teluk Kumbar and ascend up the hills towards Balik Pulau for breakfast.
After breakfast we head up to ascend to the View via Jalan Tun Sardon. Not bad for our new member, Wai Jia. She was able to ride quite a distance with not much bike pushing. Kudos....keep it up...

Route: BJI -> Paya Terubong -> Air Itam Dam -> Hillturn -> Balik Pulau -> Jalan Tun Sardon -> BJI
Distance -> 29km

Ride out from Parkview at 7am and meet up with Ong at Paya Terubong and head towards Air Itam Dam. Did not take breakfast at Air Itam like we usually do but decide to take breakfast at Balik Pulau Rapid station.

Rest a while with some photo session at the Dam and then ascend up to Hillturn and descend to Balik Pulau town. Stop at Rapid bus station for breakfast before ascending Jalan Tun Sardon to the View.
Met up with brothers, Woei Tong & Woei Chyang from round island ride at the View. Had a little rest, chit chat and some wheelie practice before hitting home.
