Day: 16 (Parit Buntar - Sungai Petani)
It was the toughest journey for me so far but I was glad that we have managed to go through it.
The three of us did a 80 KM ++ journey from Parit Buntar to Sungai Petani. We started our journey this morning at 4:55 and arrived at Sungai Petani Police Station just after 11 AM.
I wasn’t feeling too good today (not in my 100%) due to some cold and flu but I was still OK and determined to keep the journey going. The ride was good though I must admit. Strangely, on the first leg of my ride I managed to cover the distance of 15 KM in 50 minutes. The road was rather flat anyway and I bet those preparation and training sessions along the AMJ highway in Malacca before the journey has helped and been put into test.
We stopped for our breakfast in Penanti at 8AM. The road around this area was quite hilly though. Anyway, three of us really had some good ride today. The weather was extremely hot and sunny, just like most days.
As we were approaching the Sungai Petani town centre, suddenly my very good friend, Ricky Soh shouted for me from a car driven by his wife. He came and was to join us in the ride for the next few days.
By the way, the Police Sergeant Major, Encik Saad Bin Ahmad from the Sungai Petani Police Station was a real sport. Not only did he signed on our log journey but he wished all of us the very best of luck and happily asked for a photograph with our trishaw too.
