After almost 7 weeks on island Penag and George Town its time to go further, southeast heading Cameron Highland.
My bicycle is up to date, new tyres and rear cassette and I also bought my self a pair of new bicycle shoes.
The other shoes had done their job, almost 20000 km, so it was time for new fresh shoes This is my last picture from George Town, and I’m ready for new rigours.
After almost 7 weeks it was time to head southeast
To cross Strait of Malacca to mainland I’ve two options, both includes bridges. The Penang Bridge is a heavily trafficked bridge and it leads to Butterworth, but there is also another bridge. About 17 km south Gerorge Town a new bridge, Penang Second Bridge (Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge) opend 2014 and it leads across the Straits and about 30 km south of Butterworh.
It also seems to be more nice and safer to ride on. Is a dual carriageway bridge with separate lane for MC and bicycles. 24 km long and 17 km over water. Longest bridge in Malaysia and the second longest in Southeast Asia.
24 km long and separated lane for me and my bicycle,and there was little traffic
