Samo first century ride..

Hello folks!

Michelle and I had completed a 132km (about 80miles) ride from the coastal town of Kuala Selangor (about an hour's drive from our home) to Sabak Bernam (state border). Took us about 7 hours 20 minutes to complete the ride.. Here are some highlights from our road trip..



Setting up the bikes..



Michelle, cheerful as usual..



River crossing..



Some dude fishing on a drain.



The coast is clear!

There is a small bike lane for cyclists and motorbikes along this route, but it was short...



At the first town, and getting dark and gloomy in the morning..



We took shelter at a Petrol station..



Late breakfast in the second town..



It rained..

I see you didn't take the Curve Sl this time. Too uncomfortable for longer rides?
