Dog chase and dead tortoise

Petronas Paya Terubong

6:30am.....that's our meeting time at Petronas Paya Terubong. It was an early morning meet, but that was the best time as to avoid heavy traffic. The road leading to Balik Pulau from Paya Terubong is steep and we have not tried this route before. Many had feared the steep slope which is about 4 km from the meeting place.

But then again, if we do not try it, we will never know. To our surprise, the ascent was really smooth and the team had no problem cycling up before we descent to Balik Pulau market.

On the way up, nearly to the top of the climb, we were greeted by a few stray dogs, Yeoh was chased upon as he was cycling uphill. Kenny and I had to keep the dogs at bay. We then realized that the dogs were aggressive because they were protecting their dead puppy which was laying at the inner road.

As we cycle down to Balik Pulau,  Yeoh and I stopped by the road side when we spotted a tortoise crossing the road, but before we could do anything, a car ran over it, the tortoise had no chance. It was flatten beyond recognition. Pity that fella...

There are a few "firsts" in this cycling outing. Here they are:-

1st time we cycled from Paya Terubong via Jalan Tun Sardon to Balik Pulau.

1st time we cycle from Balik Pulau to Teluk Bahang and to Ayer Itam
