Sat 27Feb16 7:30 a.m.
A group of ten cyclists gathered at the bridge over the railway tracks just after 7 o'clock on this cool Saturday morning. We set off for a short 4 km offroad trail near Malim Nawar before settling down for an unhurried breakfast at Yen Lee Thong coffee shop (Sai's Shop) at about 8:30 am. After spending an hour chatting over our food, we set off on our return journey to Kampar with some going to Kampar old town to wait for the Le Tour de Langkawi Stage 4 cyclists to arrive, while others went home.
Cyclists: Me, Ganesan, ChinYao, Kautham, Theeva, Eugene, Arun, Kai, Bryan, Sunil,
