7th Sept 2010 Tuesday; Swimming at MF 80 laps

Last week end was the Charity B N B 320km ride from Kota Tinggi-Kuala Rompin-Kota Tinggi over 2 days. All cyclists ( about 95 of us) and volunteers assembled at West Coast Mac Donald at 5.30am on Saturday morning; and after loading the bikes into 4 coaches; we set off to Kota Tinggi with 4 support cars. We rolled out from Kota Tinggi at 9.30am.

The distance from Kota Tinggi to Kuala Rompin was 160km ( approx 157km to be exact), stayed one night at Kuala Rompin Resort and then we started off the ride on Sunday morning at 7.30am on the return route of 160km again. I have succesfully completed the 2 rides. For each ride of 160km, I took 6-1.2 hrs with total break time of approx 1 hr.
