Interstate2007 - Enjoying Company - (Part 2 - From Taiping to Bukit Mertajam)

Now, what has the organizer had planned for us on the second day. Just another interesting 130 km of ride into Bukit Mertajam. Its a good time to have a chit chat to meet new people to take your mind off the the ride. Will there be a surprise hill or mountain for us to climb, well judging from the profile, just one minor hill from kilometer 10 to kilometer 38. Having a hill in the early part of the journey is good as it will be a recovery ride to Bukit Mertajam later.We can also take pits stop along the way for fruits and drinks as there will be a lot of dusun as we take the back roads of Perak. We will be crossing borders of Perak, Kedah and Seberang Perai as we venture into Bukit Mertajam. What are the sort of roads will we be facing? What kind of picturesque views will we be seeing. Well, there will be rolling hills and straight roads for this leg of the journey.

There will also be old roads, which can be very tranquil and long.
There will be many windy stretch for us to test the turns and twist.
And we will be passing small towns to make it interesting and for some of us to refuel and restock.
This will be a sight for sore eyes for some of us. The end of our 130km of journey. The hotel that we will be putting up.I am sure some of us will want to lepak in our hotel room and enjoy the plush carpeting and the soft bed. Wooowee, and end of the day and looking forward to cross the Penang Bridge the day after. That will be one historical event to look forward to on the third day. Lets dream about it in this hotel room as we wait for the morning after. Check out the next posting for our ride into Penang.
