This year’s annual National Day night fun ride organised by the Ipoh City Council attracted some one thousand cycling enthusiasts, including VVIPs, led by His Royal Highness Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah and HRH Tuanku Zara Salim.

Flagged off at Dataran Ipoh in front of the Ipoh City Council building, the cyclists undertook a 20km route which saw them riding to the Lost World of Tambun and back. The VIP fun ride, though, was a shorter itinerary of 8km.

  1. I joined a night run before in university, damn tired after. But it was fun plus cooling at night. Would love to try night cycling one day.
