Directly 2 weeks after the Total Solar Eclipse, there was another cosmic alignment! This time it is the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse!! Riders and not astronomers, we gathered at Pan Kobo Cafe hoping to watch the phenomenon while we enjoy a leisure ride.
Someone in the chatgroup has suggested a picnic. This idea fired up a few people into motion.
On the night of March 23, Sue came to feed an army! She came with boxes filled with nasi lemak and mee siam!!! Besides that, she brought a plastic bag filled with fried chicken.
Claudine came with homecooked nasi lemak and fried chicken for her family and a little extra to spare. Kiwi brought a box full of grapes. Irene brought banana cakes, Ailly bags her chips, Zoe contributed yam cake and Siew Guay came with fragrant smelling satay!
While Sue and VT were seen eating the whole night through, many others had come after their dinner hence most food were left untouched!

We started riding our loops when dinner was done. It was a family fun ride. Kiwi, Jane and their daughter; Chin Po Lim and his wife; Irene, Tan and Lucas; Zoe and her daughter; Wong and another lady; Claudine, VT and Rygel; Sue, Azmi and Amri; though Amri was not feeling well and had to leave with Azmi! There were the singles too .... Jolin, Khan and Siew Guay.
Siew Guay who was recently robbed off her Cannondale bike came with her new "steel" horse. She had just bought a Specialized Amira bike and the Lunar Eclipse was her very first ride!!!
Sadly, the weather was not cooperating with the hopeful astronomers. The moon was totally eclipsed by the clouds throughout the phenomenon. And.....the only howling that was heard was coming from the laughter of the riders!!!
