Mike, a teacher friend of Emma’s, invited me to join him and his Dad, John, on one of their cycle rides. They were able to borrow a mountain bike for me to use.

We set off just after 7am after a photo!   

Mike had a rough plan in mind for our route. Basically we were heading to a place called Batu but there were various options. In the end we did a loop ending up at Java Dancer for a drink and pancake. 

 
Cycling around here is similar to the running. It’s either up hill or down hill so the profile tells the story. 

 I really enjoyed the ride and took some photos along the way. 

  
  
The loop was 21.6 miles and it took us just over 3hrs which included a 20min stop for a drink and well earned pancake.  I was also able to get some good advice on being a distance granddad from John! 

Thanks Mike and John for inviting me. I really enjoyed it.
