This is Cheah
Chee Keong, 63, mechanic on the weekdays and cyclist on the weekends.
On Sunday morning
he cycled 72 kms from his house in Bercham, Ipoh to Cameron Highlands , well 2/3 of the stretch of road from Simpang Pulai before he turned back.
“It was
getting hot so before going further I decided to turn back”

| Carbon fibre bicycle at 9Kg is "heavy" |
He left at
7.15 am from home and was in a coffee shop Ipoh Garden South at 11am having breakfast. At 63
years that’s a pretty fast pace going uphill then returning.

| Clocked 72km riding 2/3's of the way to Cameron Highlands before returning |
I met Keong
ten years ago at the Century Ride when he cycled to Kuala Kangsar from Bukit Kinding.
This Sunday he was riding a carbon fibre racer weighing a mere 9.0 kgs …but according to Keong it is “heavy”.
Moral of the
story ….. Living in Ipoh is fun, healthy and inexpensive….. it all depends of your
outlook of life and of course ones health.
