Relax ride for new members

Date: 30/1/2010
Riders: Chng, Freddy, Ang, Mei Ling, Kevin, Ong, Jason, Wai Jia & Ah Aun
Route: BJI -> Vistana -> Bayan Lepas -> Teluk Kumbar -> Balik Pulau -> Jalan Tun Sardon -> BJI
Distance -> 36km
Duration -> 4.5hrs

Three more new members joined us for a relax ride to Balik Pulau. They are Kevin, Jason and Ah Aun. Kevin joined us for the first time although he has been cycling for some time. Our cycling group is getting bigger & bigger. Todays ride is the biggest group ride we had with a total of 9 riders.

Ong ride from Paya Terubong to join us at Parkview before setting out at 7am. We they proceed to Vistana to meet up with Jason, Wai Jia and Ah Aun.

It was a medium to slow paced ride as we have new members cycling long distance for the first time. From Vistana, we proceed to Balik Pulau via Bayan Lepas and Teluk Kumbar with few stops in between.

Took our breakfast at Rapid Bus Station in Balik Pulau before proceeding to ascend Tun Sardon while Ong, Ang and Kevin took the offroad up Bukit Nonya and meet up at the View.
Initial plan was to stop by Pantai Pasir Panjang but decided not to as we are behind time schedule.

As usual, ascending Tun Sardon and Bukit Nonya is not an easy task especially for beginners. With some bike pushing for some members, we all finally meet up at the View.

Although this is only the second time Wai Jia ride with us on the same route, I noticed that she has improved tremendously. I'm sure must be due to some serious weekday practices around Equatorial area. I better put in more practices too or she will beat me soon......hahaha....keep it up, Wai Jia!

Took a rest and a group photo at the View before descending Tun Sardon and head home.
