Bike ride to Melaka & back. 12 to 14 May 2006.

our big ride from Singapore to Melaka, 12 to 14 May.
1st day route : Johor Bahru - Simpang Rengam - Yong Peng - Muar
2nd day : Muar - Melaka
3rd day : Melaka - Muar - Yong Peng - Simpang Rengam - Johor Bahru
we spent the day in Melaka visiting historical sites, shopping and eating.
the ride home was awesome with riding in really heavy rain & maneuvered thru JB traffic in the dark.
it was a great fun ride & nobody was left trailing behind.
