The plan of an early start was again denied by the rain.brent and I didn't realise it was raining until the alarm sounded at 6.30am.the rain most probably had started midnight when we still soundly asleep after yesterday ride.despite the rain, we continue to pack up and walkover to one of the many kopitiams for breakfast of noodles soup and hot coffee. By 9 am we finally set off , a little late but at least the rain has stop completely.With fresh cool air on our faces,the feeling is Great!! Still on route 1 , the 1st town we passed is Gurun and then we stop for lunch in Alor Star at a malay restauran that served nasi kampung.Brent loves the pineapple cut in shape of a ring cooked in curry.With a full stomach and a hot mid-day sun over our heads,we continue rather slowly on a broad road showder built especially for motocycles. From here, the road changed from route 1 to 7 and it remains all the way to Kangar. Brent tried to test ride my recumbent but was unsucessful as his legs is too long to obstruct the movement of handlebar.By 4 pm ,we checked into manchang hotel,a rather small room with aircon but shared bathroom for Rm42. Managed to watch the world cup quater final match between brazil and Nederland but only on 2nd half - overslept due to tireness.
