KL to Phuket by Bike

A group from KL are currently riding to Phuket, they did the same ride last year although I think a different route. Below is an email I got from Patrick on how the ride is going so far - sounds tough but pretty amazing too.

Patrick Says: - "Update on the KL to Phuket trip. Yesterday we cycled from Gua Musang, Kelantan to Ipoh crossing over Cameron Highlands. We had to climb... i kid you not..for 100km (the first 5O km was up and down big hills then the really big climb equivalent to genting Highlands) before descending 60km straight down (Simon you would have loved that part). Today we did 210km from Ipoh to Sungai Petani. Tomorrow we race for the border (after we hit the local banks here!).

Have a good CNY!
