Ride out from BJI at 7:15am and meet up with CC Teh, Wai Jia & Jason at Relau junction. Then we proceed to Paya Terubong and meet up with Woei Chyang & Ong. From there we proceed to Air Itam and ascend up 1200 steps via Kek Lok Si temple. This time, we did not stop for breakfast before ascend coz we were planning to take our breakfast in Pulau Tikus.
As usual, some rider have no difficulties ascending the slope but some of us struggles with the slopes, including me. Its my 3rd time up here and although my bike pushing is less now compared with my last 2 trips, I am still unable to ascend without some pushing.

After a brief rest up the temple, we decide to descend and proceed to Pulau Tikus for breakfast.
We ended up in an Indian restaurant where we enjoyed some Capati, Tosai, Murtabak & Roti Canai with Fresh Milk, Coffee and Coconut water.

After breakfast, we head for home with the sun already very bright & hot on us.
