The road up to the hill are quite easy, so newbies are encourage to ride here during freetime.

One can see a restaurant beside the road to the starting point of Mount Erskine.

A lot of parking area, so no need to worry if you come on weekend. Like Saturday and Sunday. But don't come on weekdays, as many people are working and carpark are not freely available.

There is even more parking area here!

The road up to the hill.

Hiker, biker, car also share the same route. Just be carefull while on the ride!

On the way to 48 checkpoint.

The view at Checkpoint 48. People can rest and do some exercises here.

From checkpoint 48 to checkpoint 84. The road quite moderate for a beginner.

The toilet which is located at the middle of the hill. Situated at checkpoint 84. One can feel the excitement to rest their self here after a tire uphill.

Located just beside the road to "Penang Hill".

The view from the Toilet towards the checkpoint 84. Well, one can have some coffee session here. Chit-chat a while before continue to ride up the hill.

Some part of the road looks hard, but just relax yourself while riding and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the tree and plant around.

The panaroma view i manage to snap

The view towards penang bridge from the hill.

After this corner, the road quite "OK". Means flat road until.......
