This is my second attempt for CFAL and this time I was determined to do better than the previous year. My last year share was something like this. |

Thank You CFAL for a wonderful event. Looking forward for another round island event. |
Sin, the photo at 9:22 is at Sungai Pinang. It's the end of Jalan Sungai Rusa and the start of Jalan Telok Bahang; just after the junction that leads to Pantai Acheh.
ReplyDeleteMany cyclists stop here for a short rest before taking on the second climb which starts just after the Chines temple.
Thanks Joe.
