Malakoff CR - Day 3

It's day 3, and I have doubts that whether I will suffer or not today. Never did a 3 day long ride. The longest is just 2 days. Even that, the second day I kinda suffer.

Flagged off from Asrama Rakan Muda somewhere at 730ish. Weather was superb on the first 110km (40km - 40km - 30km). Its on the third stop that we have lunch. Last 40km is a bit harsh because of the road construction. Other then that, it is mostly flat. And we maintain a 25km - 30kmh pace.

So it was 40km-40km-30km-40km. On the second 40km and third 30km, most of the time we were pulled by Trengganu small cyclist, age was around standard6 - form 4, and they were bloody fast. Everytime they sprint I need to speed up until 52km to catch up with them.

Temperature was not hot, even at someplace you can see fog.Scenery was AWESOME. Use the inner road from Kemaman to Kerteh, but manage to ride along the oil refinery, which I must say again and again, the architecture is amazing. Route was mostly flat but there were hills between Kemaman and Kerteh, and even we have to avoid cow dungs.

Last stop was at Pantai Burok Beach Resort. Took a bath, (Thanks AJ for the room), dinner with the Malakoff staff, then take a night bus at 11pm.
