Alor Star to Pulau Bunting, Yan and back ...

3rd of July was the day that I joined a group of cyclists on their excursion to Pulau Bunting,Yan. Never been there before but the trip itself was too inviting to ignore. Group consists of several riders of different age group, the youngest being only 13 and the oldest, I think is around 55...so a mixture of young and old. The ride itself was ok with clear blue sky all the way, only at the last stretch home was a drizzle and even that did not dampen our spirit..

Punctured tyres happened not once, not twice but 4 times, and this slowed down the journey. Good thing about it was the chance to gobble whatever there is at stalls along the way...

All in all, took us about 8 hours, could have been lesser if not for the puncture and rest. Photos below are the proof ...

meet up place, Stadium Darul Aman
