Campaign For A Lane II - Sneak Peek

The route

The elevation

Did some study on the Campaign for a Lane (CFAL) route. I though it would be even worst than Wang Kelian climb. It is much easier. 4% ascending. I've not done any long ride for quite some time. The last time was the 40k ride using Alor Setar-Ayer Itam-Alor Setar route.

Back to the route, the climb would be starting roughly after 30km of flat road. That is around an hour worth of warming up before you start burning your leg. It get a little but tougher as you are reaching Balik Pulau route. There will be a lot of sharp cornering. This wouldn't be as tough as it look in the map. Cornering while climbing won't be much of problem isn't it? The problem lies in enduring the climb for more than 15k.

Entering Batu Feringhi gives you a bit of mental boost. You will be do lots of downhill ride starting on this route onwards. The hot weather hopefully wouldn't bother you much. This is a shady downhill. The scenery going to be awesome at this stage. The trees, ocean and beach. Spectacular.

The last 10km, you will be entertained with some of Penang's famous places. The best part, flat road all the way. That's pretty much of it. A quick review on the 80k route.

Good luck to all rider and enjoy the race!
