Kayuhan Nasi Lemak to S-Five Tropical Rest Garden

"S-Five Tropical Rest Garden" is the rest area, about 8km from  Raub on the way to Bentong/K. Lumpur.
On Sunday they serve free Nasi Lemak,  Roti Canai, fruits, tea, and coffee to everybody who stop there.
We cyclists usually stop there when cycling to Lurah Bilut / Simpang Lee Rubber.
Last Sunday I followed the group to the boundary of Raub-Bentong about 14km from Raub town.
Two-way ride of about 27km. My average speed was 27km/hr, and time traveled 46 minutes.
I calculated the calories burned with the online calculator at Bicycling.com HERE and got the value of 498 calories
Average Nasi Lemak complete with sambal, anchovy,  fried egg, and peanut easily touches the 450-500 calories. So no wonder you don't lose weight despite all that exercise.
