Another first for Penang Chu Bi Chu Bi Club members, final destination Bukit Genting, Balik Pulau. Started at 7:25am this morning, we rode from Paya Terubong to Balik Pulau market via the main road. It is nearly a 4.50km of uphill climbing.
As usual, the gang had some light breakafst before breaking off to Pondok Upeh and then to the foothill of Bukit Genting. One thing which caught our eyes was the beautiful new highway built to ease the traffic at Bayan Lepas and Balik Pulau, but unfortunately, the final section towards Gertak Sanggul is open to single traffic at a time and was equipped with a temporary traffic light manage the flow of vehicles.
Of course, as expected a group of G Club cyclists rode at the opposite side cycling towards Balik Pulau and Teluk Bahang next.
Bukit Genting is a great place to cycle and we would definitely want to come back during the next durian season. The hill is full of rambutan and the king of fruits, Durian.
The uphill climb to Bkt Genting is not as tough as Nan Shan, so all managed to cycle up with ease, well done!!!
The only thing negative about this route after coming down from Bkt Genting, is the long stretch of road is too much for some of the members. All in all, it was a fantastic ride and I would propose to start earlier than 7:15am. At 6:45am, it will just be perfect.
Worth to mention, that we met GTB club at Bkt Genting.
Here are some photos, enjoy:-
