Good weather,good ride and meeting wonderful fellow from Penang were the highlights for today's ride ending in a beautiful wild campsite under a bridge over the Mikonui River. The Penang tour group (11 members) were staying the same backpackers with me and they shared their dinner with me yesterday, and today they waved me down on the road at 60km mark.It's good to meet fellow Malaysians on another country especially when you are cycling alone,they happily posted photos with me and offer some foods and drinks,they really made my day!!! They will visit Franz Josef glaciers today while i continued my ride. Arriving in Ross gold town by 5pm for my packed lunch and also have my bottles filled with water,and started looking for a place to camp,this is the only way to safe money cos' it will cost Rm 100 for a dorm bed in backpackers.
