WITH the emergence of the inaugural Kedah Century Ride (KCR), every state in Peninsular Malaysia can now boast their own century cycling event, where participants bike over 100 miles or 160km.

The event, held over a month ago, was a tourism boost for Kedah, as most of the participating cyclists were from other states, plus international riders from neighbouring Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia too.
