Good morning ride through local countryside
Davehyatt1

Good day,picked up from the hotel on time and goy to the west of the island smoothly. The bikes were lined up and off we went. The pace was easy and it was very flat. It was interesting to see the countryside with the cows, fish farms and rivers. We stopped to see different things including a fishing village, a goat farm, a fruit farm and a local village where we stopped fora tea. Overall it was a good morning. If I was to do it again I would not have the bikes with the fat tyres, they were harder to pedal.

Wonderful half day with Eddie who picked us up at our hotel and drove us over a hill to the backside of the island. On arrival we were given a bike and water and off we went through beautiful countryside seeing many sights and animals on the way.

What a great experience! For our family of teenage boys, this was a fun way to expend some energy in an authentic rural Malaysian setting. Gave us a real insight into daily village life too. Our host was enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable. Excellent value too.

We start from AUDI FARM (1 hour from Butterworth Penang). Weather is very cruicial. Journey total 2.5 hours with several stops at Palm Oil Plantation, Goat Farm, Malay en Chinese Fishing Village. Bicycles are not suitable enough for children below 145 cm or not strong enough to hold adult bicycles. Track 80% flat and seldom met cars, etc. View is not spectacular but surely suitable for family fun. At our time we were given complimentary : mineral water (starting) & Half journey we got goat milk based ice cream, yoghurt, pudding.
