This morning saw many riders from all walks of life and all age group, coming together for a good cause. Ours was not the usual touted charity drives but one that comes with a simple goal.....to create breast cancer awareness. After all, early detection saves lives and our aim is for women to be "breast aware", to remind women to do breast self examination and to know there are support groups out there!

| In support of Pink |
Besides the internationally recognizable pink ribbons, we flew more than 40 pink balloons today! Everyone were most cooperative, helping to blow them up and tying them to their saddle posts.
We rolled out after Yan Lin finally sorted out her deflated front tyre and a massive choreography attempt on group photo was undertaken. All bikes had to be turned around to "moon" the photographer for the sakes of the pink balloons.
The spirit of Esprit de Corps was very strong as we rode together, mostly in a group and within sights of each other all the way to Marlborough College. Even the strongest and fastest riders rode slowly, giving due consideration to the weaker links.
As already pre-informed, the racing circuit begins at Kg Sg Melayu. Once after the turn to Marlborough College, the sound of gears shifting began and the mashing of pedals commenced. Accompanied by the whirring sound of spinning wheels, many road bikers quickly disappeared into the green lung of the palm oil estate.
At the fork road to the jetty, Wen Han took the wrong turn. He mistakenly led half the riders on a tour of the kampung before Jolin finally caught up and brought them to our meeting place.
Our pink balloons raised a few eyebrows today. A few curious kampung folks enquired about their purpose. No doubt, we achieved our objectives today.
Exiting the kampung, we proceeded to JSNAC for a quick photo stop before heading to Puteri Harbour. As it was a perfect day for sailing, only a handful of yachts were moored at the marina. The rest must have sailed out taking advantage of the sunny and windy day.
While some riders enjoyed ice creams and cold drinks from Points, some others preferred a sit down breakfast at Old Town White Coffee. Having a takeaway is cheaper than dining in which comes with an additional service charge of 10%. In true seriousness, we could not figure what service was rendered as we had to queue to order, take a number and return to the counter to collect our food!

After a long rest, we returned to Horizon Hills via Lebuh Medini, passing by Gleneagles Medini, Legoland and Medini Mall. At the traffic lights near Legoland, our sweet friends Desmond and ET stopped traffic using their bikes and bodies as human shields to give us safe passage!!!
Back at Horizon Hills Clubhouse, Jim the General Manager of Horizon Hills gave us a warm welcome. Lydia won the coveted prize of a pair of combo tickets to Legoland, compliments of the theme park itself. After our light brunch to which everyone praised the food, we said our goodbyes, hoping to meet again on our Grand Finale this 22 October 2016.
