My brother and his friend getting ready for the big bash. My camera still tak bangun lagi… got foggy early in the morning. From the 7 ppl promised to join up my team, only 4 turned up.
Ppl lining up for the start of the race… the participants easily reached 600 ppl and still counting. It’s going to be hell of traffic along the way so we better stay at the back of the pack.
More ppl cutting the que and got in front of us.
The first taste of waiting and queuing and pushing. There will be lots more to come. The track was a bit soggy and wet.
And another single trails which was totally impossible to climb. Even a serious climber pun mesti tak boleh pergi since the track was really muddy on no grip at all on your tyre.
The first junction which we gathered back the missing members. So far so good and no cramp at all. Last year by this point, sumer dah habis kejang dedua kaki dah…
This is where we cheered this kickass chick. But dah tak jauh dah… terus that minah salleh turun tolak gak… A site to cherish in the middle of a torturing bash.
This is partly the reason why the chick stop. It’s another 50 meters up on 65deg slope. The other reason was that the 'crocs' started to follow right behind her arse.
On top of the hill after MariTolakBasikal session. A technical downhill but not as bad as Kiara.
A true test for the full sus bike. Ada empat-lima lagi drop slope mcm ni one after another. Shok ooo layan.
The first checkpoint for refuel and carbo loading… banana, my best friend.
Ouchh.. right after the checkpoint, a comrade down… severe cramps on both legs… still 45km to go.
Not a technical downhill but the newbies surely love this.
After a good grinding in open space of newly planted palm oil farm similar to Broga. Luckily for us, the weather was really kind. With shades and small breeze for us to ponder, why are we here? Not back in the house watching Astro ke, pekena teh tarik ke...
Another stop for Kurma stuffing. This was when we decided to take the chicken loop after checkpoint2 not so far ahead. With meetings lined up next week, and open house to attend later.. hehehe.. masing2 create alasan nak balik awal.
At Checkpoint2. Refill the water and clucking our head back to finishing line. Checkpoint 3 was closing in less than an hour. Don’t think will be able to reach there on time.
We thot our torture already over when we took the chicken loop, the organizer surely find ways to make us suffer even more.
And finally we reached the finishing line for our cendol and karipap. Overall, although we only finished 2 loops, we had a great time. Quite a number of excellent and long downhills… even in the chicken loop. Downhill jer la yg kita citer. Who wants to talk about all those painful pushings? Hehehe. The weather was good and a little drizzles towards the end. We didn’t stay for the lucky draw. So off to Penang Jamboree this weekend.
Anyone interested to join? My brother felt sick / ‘chicken-out’, oopsss… hope his not reading this blog.… accommodation has been arranged. Just need to bring along your guts and a little bit of your humour. Nasi kandaq anyone?
