A great ride with the gang. This is another first for Penang Chu Bi Chu Bi Club, cycling from AID - LCY - HNL - LCY - AID. A really tough climb from AID to LCY but our newbie Ah Leng made it to the top as well. There were at least 30 cyclists gathered at LCY before riding down to Sg Pinang. We proceed according to plan and we part our ways with Guan and Leng as they took the coastal way back.

Ah Leng "The Dragon Rider", our new member

Ah Leng is our latest member who joined our Penang Chu Bi Chu Bi Club, even though a newbie, he is so daring that he participated the CFAL 4 in Sept 2012 after a few weeks of taking up cycling.

He tried his best to finish but finally got to hitch a ride back to the finish line on a MPPP lorry. Nothing to be shy about, I only have admiration for your effort in trying to complete it.

But I have to say that he has the guts to try out the 82 km route with a dragon's spirit and bravery. Despite his lack of experience in cycling, to him nothing is too difficult and the word impossible is not in his vocabulary.

Thanks to his personal coach, Ah Kwan and other members, who provided essential tips on cycling in various road conditions, Ah Leng improved his stamina and sharpened his cycling skills as well. Coming this Dec 16, he is part of the 9 members who is challenging the "4 Balik Pulau Hills Ride".

So, Ah Leng, step up your stamina and you will be alright. Next year, CFAL 5, you will be able to complete it without any problem.

又是到了所有队友所期待的日子

又是到了所有队友所期待的日子

今天2012年11月11日星期天又是到了所有队友所期待的日子-“ 回归自然”。有所遗憾的是，我们的队长为了出席吉隆坡的会议而缺席这次的团聚。这次的旅程由我们最佳代言人SAM所提议-先到五显大帝庙膜拜（正是五显华光大帝旦），然后到浮罗山背南传修行林做布施。

所幸的是，当天的天气风和日丽，当所有的团友集合在极乐寺停车场后，我们就开始我们的骑脚车登山乐。一路顺风的到了五显大帝庙后，大家经过短暂的休息和膜拜，就开始下山到浮罗山背新巴刹享用我们的早点。在这里，SAM和EH KAW （张福利）十分的投缘。而SAM叻，又在展现搞笑的功力，大抛笑弹。

大概十一点钟，我们到达南传修行林做布施和回向功德后，我们的队友就享用佛友们的供奉布施的食物。而阿SAM又在一边计算着队友们所吃的价钱，OKK RM9.90, AMONENE RM28.80, SUSU RM8.70….（布施十块要吃到够本）, 哈哈真够力。接下来，每位队友都在担心回程的时候，因为吃到肚子都涨涨的，加重….嘻嘻 !

不幸的是，阿KWAN的脚车在山脚下爆胎了，当阿KWAN和 YEAP忙着换内胎的时候，SAM和OKK在一旁制造歡乐时光。经过踏踩山路四十分钟后，我们终于一一抵达HILTON。在休息的时候，EH KAW在提议再上五显大帝，可是考虑到那段路的繁忙及每位队友都精疲力尽，最后他只有带些遗憾跟着所有人踏踩下山。。再次感谢所有团友所提供的照片和欢乐时光。。谢谢（待續To be continue。。。）

SAM弄到咖啡老板Kenny需要动用笔和纸来計算钱。（左下角: 是SAM相当投缘的队友-张福利）

认识他那么久，第一次看他-KS YEOH在浮罗美食廣場吃那么多。

Sam笑到多甜。。。。辛苦了咖啡老板。

一伙的神枪手射来射去。

失落的张福利。

A great ride with new friends

今天大清早，天气不很理想虽然是阴天, 但是阻不了我们的约定-骑脚车也!这次的目的地是升旗山,像以往一样,我们都会集和在SIM CYCLE SHOP 前面等,大约八点左右,大家都到齐了就浩浩荡荡的踏上我们的行程.

非常可惜,在半途中Captain的脚车刹车器发生了故障,原来是刹车油漏洩,他只好取消不能与我们同行!多麽的扫兴呀!

我们一路骑脚车, 一边不断的拍照, 无所不谈,享受大自然生态和呼吸清新的空气,.在停歇时，爱开玩笑的Ah Kok 与 Susu Khai的一举一动和一番笑话都使到这次的行程添了热闹又乐趣的气氛。

沿着升旗山的路途时，Susu Khai的脚车突然间失灵了，幸好有队友Ah Kok 解决了这个问题，不愧是我们的专业技工。

当我们肚子不断响起抗议的声音时，此时已经到达升旗山的小贩中心，各队友都忙着找食物吃了。在这段时间，发生了一些小插曲，Ah Kwan明明是订炒粿条，但却来了炒饭，气死他了！我们也遇到了Wee Wong。他跟我们一起吃早餐，然后也跟随我们从Tiger Hill回。在谈话中，从他那得知原来middle station已经禁止出入了，很可惜也！不过那也是为了缆车安全起见。

大约上午11时左右，我们合拍了几张团体照，就向Tiger Hill踏呀踏，踩呀踩！我们几个队友都难以置信，原来Ah Guan 从未踏过Tiger Hill。因前端的山路几乎是斜和狭窄的单路线，Ah Guan开玩笑的说‘小生怕怕’，说着便推着脚车慢慢地步行下去，Wee Wong也在后面支援跟随扶助着他。

当我们到达了Laksa花园，忽然听到 Wee Wong 的喊叫声。原来是他前面的29寸内胎爆了，惨了，没有spare tire了。当大家在着急时，刚好一批脚车友经过停下来询问我们有何事！喜出望外的我们遇到了救星，其中一位脚车友有spare tire,就从他手中赶忙把坏的内胎换了。就在此时，队友Ah Kok看到他们其中一位队友脚受伤，也义不容辞的以CHUBI CHUBI助人为乐的精神帮他清洗伤口和贴上膏布。事后，我们很诚意的向他们致谢,之后他们就先离开。
