G Club Teluk Bahang Ride

I've been a member in G Club for 13 weeks and 3 days. Came across this group when I was searching for cycling groups in Penang. They are a small group of friendly recreational cyclist who organises a once-a-month ride to Teluk Bhang from G Hotel and also other ad hoc eco rides.

FYI, they are the group who are proposing a bike lane for cyclist. I like it! Imagine having a lane all by yourself. Don't have to worry about stupid inconsiderate drivers.

Check our their page for further details and future plans.

Last Sunday I was invited my Turbosnail to joined them for their monthly ride and the best part of it was, there were 4 RELA riders escorting and clearing the roads for us. Super COOL I tell you.

Woke up early in the morning to prepare myself, manatau, I dropped one of my contact lenses and it just disappeared. Mum even helped me to find but its just GONE. Pek chek. I can only see with one eye and its dangerous to ride in this condition. Haha!

As I cycled to G.Hotel, I saw many cyclist warming up and getting ready around Gurney Drive. Many runners were also running around. It was like a sports city that morning.

Around 7.30am, the journey begins, I think we had about 40 cyclist in total. I kinda took the lead after reaching Rasa Sayang, not because I'm better than this experieced rider but because I gotta rush back home for Church. So I sped up towards Teluk Bahang round-about with a RELA motorist in front of me. I really felt like pro! It felt so so good. hahaha.

Covered 40K in 1hr 10minutes. It was my best ride ever.
