Langkawi Island - Mountainbike Challenge

Participate in Langkawi Mountainbike Challenge  LIMBC from 16 Oct until 23 Oct. Had attracted international participation from New Zealand, Australia, USA, South Africa, Germany and many more. Drove from Kuala Lumpur and had the car parked at Kuala Perlis jetty terminal. Used the passenger ferry to take the bike across to Langkawi Island. Four of us from the office rented a motel for the 5 days event. However most of us only complete the first day challenge and skipped the rest due to fatigue.

We spend the rest of the days cycling to visit the town attraction, Pantai Cenang and round island tour totalling almost 200km.

The wife and daughter flew in during the last two days for shopping. We rented a car visiting places.
While cycling round island, I accidentally stumbled upon a cafe specializing fresh-slaughtered beef soup called Pak Teh's bihun sop at km15 Jalan Air Hangat. The cafe is exactly at the junction of Jalan Air Hangat (112) and Jalan 162 meets. Sorry, it does't have a web site.
Bought some chocolates & tea set from the tax-free outlet.
