Okey, here some review and tech info from us about Penang #3 DH trail. This hard pack trail is about 1.7km long and 90% natural. Fast, rocky and full of roots is the best description of the course as it descends down to the Youth Park. The descending is just nice to gain some speed. High Roller tyres can smokes this trail easily but if rain, Minion is recommended. There is no mud on the rainy day, so you don’t really need mud tyres, you just pay extra careful on crossing the roots and rocks. The trail is wide and you can choose your own line. We have seen Adam riding on this trail a few years ago with his semi slicks tyres... wuhuhu, isn’t it Adam? Hard tail is also fun to ride it here. The average time on this course from the last race is about 4:00 and the champion timing is 3:12 by Adam.
Usually Penang riders will practice or riding on this trail between 11am to 3pm. Morning?? Oohoho don’t mess up with hikers. Evening ride also can’t. Sadly we need to push up bike all the way to the top. But dont worry, its not as bad as you think, trust me. Once you riding down the trail, all the lactic will be substitute by adrenaline... hahaha. If you are getting bored with biking in your own area come here for the weekend. You also can ride on this trail starting from the Penang Hill. Guys, finally we shall race again on this course. The race is on!!! Confirmed date on 20th December 2009. Please plan properly your holidays and make Penang as your destination for this coming December. Let’s rock the trail guys..!!
