Around Penang Island In 88 km

I consider myself as fortunate to grow up in Penang Island which is truly a unique haven. It has exotic landscapes, yummylicious hawker food, Legolas Beh Teh Saw, heritage buildings and nicest people like ME! Agree? (blek! blek! blek!)

I plan to retire and spend my last Twilight years, back to Penang of course! I have found the ocean front condo which I have eyed with a lovely balcony to laze on my rocking chair and watch the golden sunset everyday. You can just do the same and be my neighbour too.
No wonder Penang was voted as the "2nd Must Visit Destination" in the world by NEW YORK TIMES!

Recently, I joined the entourage of an elite group of KL cyclists to Penang for their crazee event to cycle around the island - 88 KILOMETRES of uphills, down slopes and through deadly terrains.

At 7:00am sharp, over 2000 hotties clad in their tightest biker shorts were flagged off from my favourite Municipal Council's Building at Fort Cornwallis.

They came in all sizes and colourful shapes, showing off their kinkiest racing bikes which costs anything from RM1000 to over RM20,000 for a 2 wheelie! That's outrageous price these days for designer bikes from London, Paris or New York. Silly me, just bragging the wrong cities for bicycles. Their costly outfits alone could outshine my Prada jacket, with their well padded shorts equipped with auto-protruding genitals booster.

An expired blogger was there too.

The thousands of cyclists rode excitedly to greet the morning's golden sunrise by the sea @ Esplanade.

Penang's contour is really winding with so many narrow streets along the coastal lines. Nothing much could be done to widen the roads as that would require blasting the hills.

The first victim of tyre punture. He mended and patched his leak with his own sticky saliva!

I was surprised that one of the many water-stations actually belonged to Rotary Club Of Bukit Bintang!

Argh! Poof! Quish! Erhhh! The road was steep towards Pulau Betong.
Notice 2 guys camwhored lovingly all the way!

The narrow roads before Telok Bahang are in widening stage now. The new road will be opened soon after many years of delay.

This is the huge water reservoir at Telok Bahang.

Nearing the end, along the famous Gurney Drive's stretch.

Many supporters carried words of encouragement under the hot blazing sun. I think they were unpaid clowns doing that!

The red shirts were not Thaksin's protestors but shutter bugs waiting to catch the best angles.

At the end of the cycling event, thousands of racers and moutain bikes were strewn all over the streets. What a rare sight!

This guy came back last of course!

The whole 88 km ride was just to campaign for a new cycling lane!!!
Oh Gosh! I think it won't happen!
