Post outdoor's weekend ( full blown biking all day out)

2012-01-16T21:40:00.001+08:00

Assalammualaikum.

What a weekend...

Full of stuffFull of stories n the spice n variety of ingredient filled the days.

For saturday 14/1/2012 " mencari datuk kepada thompson punya trail"

-planned to leave kulim by 1800 ending up leaving kulim by 2100.<( actual departing was 2230 from Macdonald Seberang jaya)

-planned to reach homestay at tanah rata by 2300 ending up reaching by 0145 the next day.( biru muka pak sbu nunggu kami kat brinchang. Sorry old man.

-planned pre day sleep= 6 hours ending up only 3 hours as need to get ready by 630-planned to bike with 6 others but ending up only with 5 as the guide was not keen to ride on the day ( had something else to take care off ogso)

-planned to have fun for the first section of the trail.( habu to ringlet n to the sunlight kebun climb up n 8km DH to pos menson. ( missed the turn to sunlight factory where we start climbin to the peak before DH. Had to climb up extra mile.
How come we missed? The area had a facelift... Totally new with more kebun they had opened. Mampus..

-didnt planned anything but a week before = full of rain. N the day we came = no rain . but leftovers is still there.So..tanah merah = tanah lecah. It was wet n full of mudd...so the DH section was with thick mud. 40cm deep. With pickup tires mark... Impossible to go faster,,,, n new skill had to learn... How to Dh in the mudd without toppling... Hehe it was full of fun.. Ape lai.. Jatuh le bang.. Menyungkur cium mud. It took us almost 1 hour to reach menson..( when it is dry u usually go 15-20 minutes dh..

HahahT be continued

17/1/2012 continue..

-Reached Menson & mingle around a bit.

-Hmm they had improve the area & tarmac all the way to the school.. & no more small fun for rolling section... there were 2 proton iswara there.. camno???

Reached School & the new adventure began.

CIkgu mad Bin Ibrahim wanna lead us to Kg Rening. According to him, the kg has everything, waterfall, kebun durian & so,, even the lubuk for ikan kelah. but the way to go will be tougher & no looping.. So , we decided to have a go & see what can we discover there. ( bye bye bukit meluat & nice expensive tea session)

We took right on the tarmac after Pos Menson school . About 5-10km passed Kg Leryar ( New build up tmn perumahan) & then turned left heading to Kg Telanok, Kg Teji, & one more kampung, & Kg Trakit, Kg Lemui & Kg Rening. It was deep in the jungle where we can see from the highway... & one sad news.. The area will be used to build a damn soon.( on going) So , i dunno when can we be able to experience those after all these.. sigh...

It was good mixture of tarmac & natural jungle road.
nice water fall & fruits yard.( most of the time DH) So... we were what the hell????? & no looping?? need to come back this way??? i saw several sour face already.. hehe.. ignorant is a bliss... that what i just did... heeheh

The route to Kg Rening is damn real for natural org Asli walking pathway.. Rolling single trail with no flat & NO easy surface to ride the bike on..

We didnt managed to reach Rening as once we reach Trakit, it was almost 1500. we need about 2 hours or more to go out to the main road i presumed.

2 of our guys decided to stay in one of the river & waited for us to go out. No looping.. old days it was there but the trail had been abandoned due to some reason unknown.

On the way out, we decided to call for rescue. Ill go out with the guide on his motorcycles & pick my pick up at Habu. The rest will wait at Kg Abu/ Kg Rengklas.

Anyway, we had to go out of the natural trail by bike before i can leave my bike & joined the guide.

There then when trailing i had this moment where my bike went "teng", or "beng".. snapping/ colliding sound. small sound.. checking around & I saw nothing wrong on my bike..

It took about 1hour to reach my car & another hour to get to them. ( As i slept by the road on the way back) to sleepy to drive.)

Loaded 6 bikes & 6 people on my lorry, went to Menson School for prayer , light refreshment & relaxing. & By 1900 we had reached habu. Repacking & sttuff & food time at Tanah Rata.

Decided to drop at Doli Taiping for another round of food intake, but we reached Taiping Exit at 2300 & we thought it was too late.

I reached my home by 0200 after sending all the passengers home.

The next day ( actually after several hours) The Hardcore meleleh event took place. Aha

To be continued..

Where to fix your faulty expensive watch??

2011-12-20T05:42:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum.. it is not mine.. dont worry.

My wife .. hehe.
Her grandfather gave her this Longines watch after her good result in PMR almost 15 years back.

Last few months... it finally went down.
down.. meaning really down.. change battery also cannot.

So, she was sad & looking forward to send anywhere to get this lad fix.

nak hanto Woh Hin le ( Campbell stree Penang) & so on.
Usually , this kind of "pricy" watch.. ada agent yg declare that they the only one can fix & it will cost a fortune. almost similar price of the actual price.. ridiculous... but .. that is how it is now..

So, after scouting around..& finally her father, which is my father in law = Mr Sofian, suggested 1 small shop in Jalan Raja Uda.

Hmm... can this guys fix it??

He look experienced & professional enough to do the job. but????

Anyway.. we submit in just to try our luck.

Mr Sofian : the informer

The opposite shop

The shop

As usual. they will try to troubleshoot & suggest cause of problem.

after 2 weeks, he called. Sudah siap huh????? how come?? heheh

Of course, they found the defect part, order a new one ( not sure either original or not) & then fix them. Swiss made ka, italy made ka, china made ka?? semua da part.. so .. hanto je la kat local expert macam depa ni.. Amazing..

I really recommended this one. they even sell old wall clock, kuku clock, used ROLEX.. & so on.. very small shop & yes.. no confident to go in if no one informing you... seriously..

But now, my wife watch is working work & back to life.

Im sure.. many other shop & tua tua apek yg capable of fixing those... We just need to find them...

ENjoy guys.

They have a blogspot as well.

Later ill put the link.

What is there left to offer for Kayuh Lasak 2012 ????

2011-12-05T18:09:00.001+08:00

Assalammualaikum.

Is that the correct question?

Yeah .. i did asked that?.anyone ??. i dunno what to expect next year.

KAw.. really sure kaw.. I rated this year "The badass trail".

Sure love this one.. what more to expect. & with this challenges & the KAWness.. i need to start training for next year.. at Least to be at the front 200 to get smooth flowing on climbing in the beginning..

sorry to frens which were stuck in the middle & had to join the Traffic jam. 1500++ riders in a single or small double lane to climb steep hill??? forget about it man..

I had some training mileage for the event. The one that i look high on. Recovered from injury just in time to get ready for this one. ALhamdullilah,.. had my chance & was really really careful on the descent as to protect my healing body part....

Little story of mine about KL11.

this was earlier

& the actual..

Something is not right here hehehe ;-)

So , i was only sticking to the 1st one & imagining that the extra 55km was something just to extend to drain riders.. but again.. i was wrong..simple trick of digital manipulation.. does it all.. hahaha

Managed to complete all 9 CP & ended the pleasurable but punishing ride at 1336.

216 was my lucky number. & again Alhamdullilah that i didnt collect any injury . some minor falling at the technical decents caused no harm.

Fun parts of the ride:

1. Short on road which is a plus for me.. I hate flat road. but the organizer need to find a way to distribute this group to reduce the traffic cloggin on the first climbin. ( nothing else except speed up lee hehe)

2. Killer climbing but i was in 2nd or 3rd front group. Managed to climb a little then no choice as people still didn t learn the manner to let stronger riders to ride on the right side. ( this one, at PCC presindential was the habit & stressed out clealrly)

3. Killer DH with killer switch back & killer slippery condition. They topped all...perfect combination to test bike control. I was really carefull & had to slow down as it will be bad if something happen & i have to sit on the bench for sometime...

4. Technical decent was great & braved myself to try & ended up fell at the bottom... heheh.. it was fun still need to learn & to brave the decent.

5. The several KM Tarmac decents after CP4 DH ( on the new flyover) . the view was great & i really enjoyed that short resting & thought that The Organizers must had designed this route with the same mind. Trail designer.. thanks for this..

6.The rolling in the canopy at the last hill. Managed to pace up myself & capture the front group. After sometime. a train of 10 riders were there & we were motivating ourselves to complete the trail. & able to passed them before the decents by following the stronger rider. SOmehow, the muscle follows the mind eventhough that they were in so much pain. the mind then was manipulated by a good motivation when work out in group..something for me to look forward to. hmm

Not so fun parts of the ride:

1. The punishing Bukit genting. ( tak habis habis this one heheh.. drained up already & kill my time)

2. i had very low pressure rear tire (caught a very slow punture) which was noticed by riders behind me after first DH,but i though it was ok. it was not total flat & managed to carry me all the way to the start of hill number 4. realized that it was bad when i took the right corner on tarmac with some speedfor tarmac climbing for hill 4.( kawasan perumahan somewhere) i was drifting & almost fell down due to the too low pressure.

Pumped in some air & it was back to normal & stupidly i though it will be ok.. It lasted for about 10 mins & it was lembik again. ( low pressure) than i reallized.. slow puncture. fixed the tire & start climbing again & only to realize that i was about 200m to the top of the hill.. shoot.

3. Hate the long flat on gravel after ending up all the hills section to collect CP 8... i hate flat & need to improve this section in my routine.. I cant push & i have no motivation to push on flats.. hehe help me guys..

That was it..

Full of challenges, exceed my limit, adrenalin rushed down... & full concentration on no mistake DH sections.

& overall "Badass MTB Trail" : which you will love it but you have to suffer to experience it.

tak cukup sifat as the last 6 km was not captured.. habih battery le..

2011 October Fest- NON

2011-10-29T09:00:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum & very good morning to all.

Today is the 29th of the month.

i fell down from my bike earlier this month & it is the beginning of the another recovery mode for me.

Due to that, My planned October fest was evaporated just like that.. Allah's will. Cant do a thing.

1. Planned GA Sarawak trip but withdrawn as wanted to join LIMBC2011.
2. Had to withdrawn LIMBC2011 due to recovery mode.
3, Many more training session in between

Just like that.

Achievement for this month.

1. 22nd:Started simple riding with newcomers from Infineon Clan ( Mail & son) . 10km offroading at my usual training trail.. hmm alhamdullilah.. Fully functional.
2. 26th ( Deepavali off day) Joined Calbaru P clan ( soon to join Recovery hehe ) to Pandai Merdeka onroad trip. Had nice Mee Udang session at Pulau Sayak & excellent Kari kepala ikan at Kota kuala Muda, Penang. ( habih ) ((( RECOMMENDED))

It was nice. & Alhamdullilah that i can ride again. The Left ACJ are recovering fast eventhough my clavicle bumb will not get to the normal position as per the diagnosis in the net & by doctors. The only way to put it back nicely is by operation. hmm no no.. as long as it is not dangerous ... im not going to do that. But, will slowly got for traditional massage for whatever they can do dgn izin Allah.

Due to all of this, I m making a plan with my lazy ass infineon clan to go camping & fishing & loitering again at Banjaran Bintang, Ulu Mahang. This time, im not going to bring my bike. Totally 4x4 offroading & enjoying the nature : mandi sunga je lah. Will bring my guitar for old folk song session .haha.. need to re-polish the skills & remember all those chords again...

So guys, 14 of us from Infineon together with maybe 4 more org kampung will head to Ulu Mahang Heavy forest to enjoy nature at it best offer. ( My saying le)..

30th-31st & starting at 0800 until 1400 the next day. It will be fun insyaAllah.

later next month, biking clan from Alor setar might want to organize another trip.. will see..

see here..for last time photos

Pretty sorry to tgk ramei yang ngomel ngomal tak dapat masuk this big event... memang betul pun.. cepat sgt bukak & tutup..heheh.. the registration is ridiculous.. but i remembered during my first kayuh lasak registration.. it was hard to get in.. & i had to register under a team to get noticed. ( insight info from organizer).. then REcovery was then reinvented.. Y??? because i was on recovery mode... & since then... the label stuck with me all along........... even at1 point had cause a confusion & sick joke among " frens".. then even it was big thing in my area where colleague used to register rides under Recovery_Kulim /Recovery Malaysia's belt.. & hahahaha it was fun.. a blog was established by total stranger & many more confusing things went around......That is life the way i see it.. full of uncertainties & for muslim... hanya mainan dunia..

SInce then i m using this recovery term as i please.. It means a lot to me.. RECOVER....

Hope you lot enjoy the beautiful friday & Start to Recover whichever,whatever,whenever ,however & many more ever & ever things u can do... DO not wait up longer to recover.. do as when you start thinking it is the time.. fast as u can.. soon as u can... hehh....the soon the better.. So guys...

Let us RECOVER .... " join me in the recovery mode " heheh

InsyaAllah..

yesterday don't mean shoot..

Assalammualaikum..

hmmm..weekend meant for training... ending up hurting myself with a minor set back...

Alhamdulllah... nothing serious n insyaAllah ill be back on my bike in a few days time i hope...

yesterday, while DHilling at 2011 BM Jamboree trail,i had underestimated the steep section which then caused my front end to slipped & twisted .then,,,,,, "big badaboom,"( should be said like milla jovovich in fifth element).
IT was too slippery, the wrong decision was made in a split second caused me a minor ACJ. terkehel tulang selangka at the joint with bahu.. Ya Allah,
Nasib baik ...small ...so far... yes...n alhamdullillah today, feel much better n positive.

Yesterda,did my xray to confirm all, n doctor just give me a sling , pain killer & ubat surut bengkak... hai.. tak balut ke ape ke? hmm today will meet this tg urut for some tradtional massage.. hopefully can help to subdue the left clavicle elevation a bit....insyaAllah. pray for me guys....

events come n go... sometime... i wonder N start thinking.. that we human.. for muslim sake,, hamba Allah is so fragile n small. 1 small event can take our comfort n turn it into discomfort.. subhanAllah..

Oh Allah, please forgive me, please forgive us N guide us to the right path, let us always be within your vicinity of bless n guidance.

on the left. waiting for x ray process. "wat la i have put myself into hihihi"

my wife said sambil geleng kepala.. " suami aku yg buas, tak reti reti naik basikal"

To all riders out there.. enjoy riding & stay safe....the best you can...insyaAllah..

update latest...

dah lama tak update... fasting month , raya month & a month after raya month..

malas sesungguh..

im getting ready for the big event this oct.

ready my way le.... heheh will update further when time permit.

assalammualaikum.

july is done officially today

2011-07-31T19:38:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum.

yes yes n yess... My July event are finally over.
Ended with Happy ride with Kulim happy ride team . Un planned event for me but i joined just to mix with the local team which is currently growing big as we speak.

the last July event for me was PCC presidential ride at Broga.

What can i say. It was huge.. I mean... The distance .. Off road distance .. Almost 65km trail. combination of 4 stages n damn man...

I was trainjing to stay fit for this event. yes alhamdullilah i survived. managed to complete all stages in 5H45m. Roughly. it was good n nothing serious unwanted issue except that i had lost my rear brake just after Stage 1.

Entering stage 2 , the need to brake on " lonkang " crossing blew me... Where is my brake? It was soft. N soft n hei.... Where was it? Hmmm the safety pin, the pad n the spring unit or something had gone somehow... I can see only the piston n the brake house... Shoot. 3 more stages to go n heavy Dh section will come...n i decided to continue with the event with the thought that... This time.. Ill have the slowest DH section around...

Yes n yes..DH was no longer fun for me... Had to brake before it started to decent to be able to control my soeed n taking care of the bike n myself from fallin.....

Afraid of the front brake failure was also in the air.. So, slower speed will do the job qhopefully. Yes.. Alhamdullilah i had survived.. Event the gruesome last Decent.heheh n yhr front brake had become soft also after the event... Almost running out the pads.. But.. Alhamdullilah once again.. The left front help me to survive.

it was good nursing mode experience. I had to tune my mind that.. U must go on but have really to care during DH. Meaning really really slow speed. N had managed to tackle the short steep technical decent with the thought that. I cant immediately stop with the front. N yes.. The need to be brave n just slowly go down the steep slope materialised. Heheh i wasnt dare to take still learning the be brave...usually ill chicken out n brake on n walk it.. Due to this issue, cannot brake to stationary... So.. Brave the decent......n extra control n decending manoevre...( deep sitting at the back ) all the time..almost sitting on the rear tire most of the time...

Come to thing of it... It was dangerous to continue but i had determined to finish the stages safely ,tackle the problem at each approach n decide on the DH sections difficulties.

I walked on a couple of steep with roots sections.. N the 1 in cp 3 before the sticker.. Somewhere in the wood.. Hahah

Overall.. It was fun.. The event was great n the trail was superb.. Ill come back anytime here.

The event also is the meetin point of frend.... So i got to meet my mainly southern one..

Haha.. So, the bikin things for me will stop for a month insyaAllah. N in ramadhan months.. I decided not to bike .. Fasting n fill the night with the required one the best i can... My target is to read n complete the whole Quran By this month.. InsyaAllah..

ya allah, please help me..

To all muslim friends... Happy ramadhan n let us upgrade our ibadah to a new level daily,weekly, yearly... Stop the bikin for a month n yes.. It wont do u any bad for that,, hehe but of course,,, YOU DeCIDE.....

Machine PM

Assalammualaikum.

Hmm. Yesterday i went to Bukit 3m in kulim for a short burn out session prior to the 60 km PCC Presidential ride. Hmm many unwanted were discovered. post thompson trail use.

I broke my FD
My front handle was loose.( became super loose during decent)

Then i had to send for service to Pian.

Hmm duit lagi. Then after broga, sure kena hanto service juge...

Why pian aka RS Tokkun.

So far,

His the one yg dok repair my bike, setting up, awkward setting the way i like it,
Modify when other mechanics might end of ideas.

List of my awkward setting done by Pian.
1.
2.
3.

Too many for my bike.
I have about 4 mtbs . Used items which i bought n upgraded from time to time. From local source to international & 90% are used items. Usually i just give the idea n swapping parts the way i thought it will be good for some reason n Pian is the place to do the job.
Take off itemx from bike A to be put at bike B n so on. Modify parts by grinding, drilling n everything.. You name it. Kalu kedai Kereta, like pimpin the ride here.i would like to test the parts n ride. after testing it, will ask pian to change the unit to another. Heheh of course, kena bayo le..

Pian will fix the bike the way the rider fix their bike during the event. ( on going event) haha.. N this one time, he fixed the v brake issue with simple touch after other mechanic was stucked with it about 2 hours.

What else wshould i say... Im not into raring cause.. Too lazy ... But i guess.. I know where to go n yes can compare the quality in the services...

Most of the northern bikers might know his shop n benefited accordingly but some might had different view. Hei.. Tepuk tangan tanya tangan. Le.. Kedai mana yg kamu suke hanto utk repair bike?.. For me... The shop is one shop ill go n visit along with others.

So go n visit..

Location: Cheruk Tokkun, next to the mosque.

Or call him...

1 more to go for July Event

2011-07-13T21:06:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum & alhamdullilah.

Done 2 & 1 more to go & everything was ok.

Setup the heaviest bike i can put on with big fat DH tires at front ( 2.55 WTB weirwolf LT) & 2.35 Continental gravity with triangle knob. Damn.
It was so heavy & sloppy on the tar. but once entering offroad ( sand & small gravel ) it was not bad. Just that im not too strong to go faster . hehe It was a good training i hope..

Kayuh Bendang 2011 was fun. The event was organized systematically & in the beginning i cant imagine that it could be that fun. ( I hate straight flat trail because i cant push. i have no mental strength for that. if there is hill... ill enjoy. but, this time around i had registered again just to push myself on the flat. wanna see how im coping after a year. This year, they offered 1 section of hill which was just great & something to look forward too in the event.

Completed the trail at 1028 & damn... so so so tired & hungry. Didnt bring along any food & only ate a banana at CP2. i thought it will be a lazy sunday ride. but .. hmm when you are in big group & everybody was pushing... you tend to do the same i guess. at least up to your limit. & yes, i did push up to my limit..with no energy supplement... i end up drinking almost 20 cups of free vico drink after the ride. haha..

Enough there..

Another endurance event will take place. final event in july & yeah.. can be said before Fasting month...

PCC presidential ride. 60km of road.. & hell people talk about how hard the trail is & so ... hmm.... so.. i guess.. need more training to survive.

Ok guys.. anybody goin to Semenyih??? see ya there on the 24th. insyaAllah..

May Allah be with you..

My Kayuh Bendang story...
( Forgot to turn on at the start & only turn on after 10-15 minutes)

1 done.... 2 more to go. for July events....

2011-07-05T01:10:00.000+08:00

ASsalammualaikum..

Thompson trail mit Geng pedalling dude...& KL bound group..

hmm... it was fun...

You name it.. u got it..

good fellow riders & great epic ride trail..

wanna come again?? yeah... insyaAllah..

Enjoy every second of it..

My first time was last year with Extension fullsus bike.. it was a mistake... enjoyed the long DH section but suffered the rest of the loop on climbing..

This time.. i brought the beast.. XC fullsus... hmm... great on climbin & hell superb on DH section...

only i need more training to go faster at the last climbin section...

changed front tire from 2.0 to 2.1 blue groove : for high roller with wider tire for "confident" front traction during DH. ( own spec & do not compare... can comment of course)

Maintain 2.0 for rear..for climbing efficiency... hehe but this high roller XR1 bontrager sufferd the slippery section ( mini tar berlumut)at bukit meluat... .. meluar sungguh.. kena dua tiga kali unwanted spinning.. terus draining my energy & the rest...

Managed to climb to Boh Shop from the last pitstop.... but was already knackered. tried on middle ring but cannot last longer & had to switch to granny.

He he.. need the 32x36T combination soon... to go faster for me. hehe..
saw those with 10 sp enjoyed the luxurious of having that ratio... damn...

Hahah.. overall

The organizer held this event beautifully .. & The event theme " Santai ride " was INDICATED CLEARLY..

Fun team to be with.. as ever.. again this.. time.. no doubt...

( check on their Blogspot for further stories)

Overall.. this is what riding in Malaysia is all about.. the beauty of it...

Friendship....

To riders out there in the world,

u may ride for a place, competing level, gain better health & so...

in here.. we are proud to bring close friendship as the reward. ( of course , everywhere else does the same i hope)

Ha ha .. enjoy..

tips on how to ride a bike..( more to how i ride my bike heheh)

2011-06-22T07:52:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum..

hmm,, How?? HOw?

started learning when i was 6 inside my grandma kampung house compound.

We had this classic chopper when i use to push up the small hill & then ride the bike to learn balancing... i used the slope to gain the speed as pedaling was almost impossible at that time..

then we i reached the bottom & started losing the speed...
"tiiimmmmmbbeeerr"
.. hehe & my family was just laugh their head off..

i did that tons.... & still cannot pedal ..

a week after.. i used my cousin smaller version bike & start to pedal... hahah several attempts & jatuh sini sana.. hhehe.. & yes.. after about hour or so... i can go in circle... finally...

From that moment on,..... "bicycle .. bicycle..." i want to ride my bicycle... i want to ride my bike.... i want to ride my bicycle.... i want to ride it .. when i like.."" the only thing... i did' n have one.. it was a family sharing bike... so .. we had to take turn..

then when i was 9, the family chopper finally become mine as the rest had grown bigger already & try to be cool not to bike around... hahaha stupid fact...

The chopper had a facelift... my father had this crazy idea to totally change the front tire to a bigger one as the smaller one had some tough time to find a spare. the bike got the part & did what it was intended too anyway.. we had to "manual extend the fork to accommodate the need. hehe.. then that was where i learn to modify...hmmm>???

When i was 11, my father bought my 15 years old bro a racing bike.Apollo brand. it was cool. with gears & stuff.. of course my chopper had something to toggle to but.. by the time i had my hand on it... all were gone or no functioning .. wow.. i used to take the chance to ride the bike & offered myself to go to shops for anything anytime....hahah..Macam iklan kereta sekarang?? lai bini berebut nak bawak..

Then when i was 13, the bike was mine.. heheh( with naughty grin).. 2nd hand again... my brother did not care about this as again.... it was not a cool stuff to ride a bike...for him or most of the teenagers back then..

Then , sometime that year, i lost the bike. it was stolen at Tun Razak public library in Ipoh... huwaaaaaaaaaaa. It was the dark time in my life...

Several months later... my father bought me my first time ever rigid fork Mountain bike... from Singer....yeah.. that sewing machine brand... last time. they offered mountain bike..
phew.. can u imagine?? the bike which capable to ride on off road & can climb easily & many more gears??? at that time, Camel Trophy was a talk of the country.. it was on tele for somekind of documentary. or something... most of us kids were " wooooooooo ing" & dying to for it..

Then, the bike got me dream on....

& i lost it again as my father had to send back the bike to singer due to faulty part & i never got back the bike..

it was sad again...

then i had another 2nd hand racing bike . complete alloy & very light . my father bought it from a fren who used to be a rider. RM 150... hahah.. fairly cheap now but not then..
it was cool again.. as my frens figure out that my bike had higher end parts but old stuff... i had no idea on all this..i just want to ride & yes.. i had a bike ...

Sent out to facelift again & the bike came out like new with new paint.... only rm16 for that. Kedai basikal Chin Soon in Ipoh town. ( Is that correct ipoh gang?? correct me )

Then , I had to leave the bike behind . It kind of sad. had to enroll into a boarding school in Johor. huwaaa.

Then, i lost the bike again.. during one of my school holidays, i brought the bike to KL to my sister's house & when i was back in the hostel, they forgot to keep the bike inside the house & guess what???? got stolen again,.. huwaaaaaaaaa

He he & that week , my sister & the world family came to visit me in Johor & belanjain mi stuff.. & later to reveal the story & huwaaaaaaaa.. i was 16 then...

I went to Europe to further my studies & during my 2nd year in uni, i bought a 2nd hand mtb & start cycle to lectures... yeah....& fun time again...

but , i had to sell the bike to fren when i had finished my course & it was time to go back home.

it was 2000 then..

In 2005, i was sent to Austria for company training & bought myself a 2nd hand racing bike. ( Bianchi with 22 inch size) .. it was ok.. to ride around the beautiful lake near my staying ..& i shipped that bike back.. & still with me... ( actually , the bike is now,, at this very moment,, at RS Cycle Tokkun shop. For sale hehehe

in 2008, i bought a bike after Government had increased the oil price & i decided to bike to work.t. then i bought a few more 2nd hand stuff & are still with me. The first hand one was sold to a fren. heheh..

NOw, i enjoy riding my bike again....BUt this time around, more into the lasak stuff, off road, epic ride & so ..
It is bike cool time now... everywhere people in Malaysia starts to bike...

& I m happy to be in Biking family..

Many events available & you just choose anyone u like....
thousand & thousand cool bikers around & yes... we love to bike.. im sure... all had their onw stories about bike.... im sure had one & it stucked up here forever. ( pointing at my head)..

So guys.. hell yeahhhh.. hmmmm actually.. heaven yeahhh.. i wanna to go there rather than the first one.. heheh .. RIDE.. ON.....

Revisit fun parts of Jamboree weekend...

2011-06-15T20:17:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum..

For me.... Good jamboree or bikin event will always offer fun parts... meaning we had fun when at it...

FUn to me... new skills required...new challenges & i cannot tackle it completely....
offers funny feelin in the stomach... adrenallin rush & so on... Many more...

So, the best is to do a revisit.....

you can enjoy the parts.. try & try until you lie about it... hehehe
the best part is , when you go with a bunch of hardcore who does not care to get over the limit. ( mentally & spiritually)

Yeah... during the event it self.. no doubt the crowd will give you boost to go faster & ok to ride long & hard... but when you are in a smaller group.. like 5 ... those boost are not there.... so you make you own boost... heheh.. torturing yourself to climb 700m height hills just to enjoy a 10 minutes roller coster single trail in the middle of nowhere... hahaha,, that is about it.
that is it.... why my gang.. hardly respond to my invitation... heheh or maybe they just dont like me... who knows....

anyway,,, what matter the most is the better health we gain, the satisfaction, the experiences & good laugh after each event...

Ha ha ha..

So ..on saturday 11th June.. I chose 2010 kayuh lasak CP4,CP5,CP6,CP7 ...
phew.......

starting with normal climbing from Kassim Mustapa balik Pulau ..
Then simple climbing to the susur masuk ke kebung heading to sungai pinang...
then... the torture begin... almost 2 hours climbing to the top & enjoyin the terrapin trail...
up again to the top of air itam dam & down again to balik pulau... that DH took almost 20 minutes... fast DH.. on cement...

BY 1300. we had our lunch & headed home..

Small incident & we managed to get home safely.. alhamdullilah..

everytrail link

link to Facebook pic ( sumi)

Link to facebook pic ( sufian idris)

Then on Sunday 12th June 2011, we chose 2011 Kulim International Jam fun parts.
Cp2, CP3 & the last kebun getah DH before the finish..

whoa... the first hilll was a killer...
then the crazy killin rollin climbin to the highest top then the steep technical DH before crossing the river... a few funny incidents took place..

Then the last fast flowing single trail in between rubber trees topped it..

We short cut using the main road. just to go to those fun areas,,

we end the day at 1300 & when to Sedim to cool off...

what a weekend

TO ALL.. LET REVISIT.....HEHEHEH

2011-06-08T07:18:00.000+08:00

Hai & assalammualaikum.

Last week (4th-6th june) i was in KL.

Supposedly i was about to join the Ipoh event but decided to go straight to KL instead to be with my family & my wife.

Hmm it was a good call as my sister in law was having a problem & we had to be in the SJMC for almost half a day on that saturday . Pity her & alhamdullilah.. all are ok now.

Then sunday the 5th, i joined Hakuna geng to FRIM. Never been to before.

So , 5 of us, Bert, Lan, badang & Najib gathered ... hehe

It was raining & things were slowed down by nature..

i forgotten my socks & went several direction to get one & finally managed . Found kedai runcit on the way to PJ & Sg BUloh signboard direction... hehe it that correct??

the geng chosed Dream trail, tangki ayaq, pacat trail & steroid.
He he he.. according to the, to complete the RM3 we had to pay to enter the park.. damn... i dont pay anything in Kulim..

it was great... With the technical & stuff.. hmm.. not a place for XC setup bike i supposed.. or just me.. hehehe

Apa susah.. takut nak turun.. sorong...takut jugak.. nangis le. hehe..

It was fun with the group & yeah all of us managed to complete the all RM3 hills... what i found out is.. this Hakuna's leader was somehow managed to skip to complete all 3 hills.. & this time.. by Allah, he managed .. finally...

he hehe.

On the way down to go home, we took a rest at the "Mountain bike Track" signboard & met this group.

1 of them had a familiar type of dressin.. the one you might see in the movie or in temple...
long sock covering the pants.. brown colour & loose attire.. it cannot be it?? nooooooo... i dont believe this... a shaolin pedaller... or a monk or whatever u want to call.. hmm

a cheeky smile coming out from my face... he must be strong & will use his kungfu inner strength to climb hills & down the DH track . & all will be easy for him hehe.. ( movie influence)

Haha .. had a chat with the group & the guy himself... pretty pleasant sight ... to have a monk/ shaolin monk as pedaller... /mountainbikers... or so..

this sport has managed to reshuffle Malaysia's social group. we have monk, Haji ( i knew a few & met one in Jeli jamboree ... not sure whether he was a haji but he was wearing turban during the ride. hajjah & many more.... great sight & great feeling to know that the sports has no boundaries... it is only a sport, an activities that one can join without compromising one religion need .. (maybe muslim need to tutup aurat sikit for yg terlupe tu... insyaALlah)..

All can be done...

hehe.. we end the day & headed to our won destination.. it was a good laugh... for Hakuna's...

Danke..

Link about the event

2011 Kulim International

2011-05-10T07:34:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum & very good morning.

This is my first time participate as a rider in Kulim.

in 2009, the maiden jamboree, i was a CP3 marshal. opened up bottles of water to riders & did the necessaries.
It was hard by then, to look at others riding while we are only assisting. I really wished i took part in the event as rider. But anyhow... i can try the track anytime i want... but yeah... it is never the same.

in 2010, kayuhan terang malam, i did registered but had to pull out due to some issue. Had to go to KL & settle things out. haha.. actually i was not keen on riding at night anyway..

then this year, had a chance to become marshal .. but hei man... not this time.. this time... i want to feel how the riders going to feel..

The track is awesome. with mixtures of terrain & trail.
The torturing middle section was overlapped by the cool ,techie DH. i was lucky not to be in the mass group when reaching the area. So i get to ride the section ( 80%) from top to down. the feeling was whoaaaa..

Then the last downhill was another killer... but somebody was in front. the rolling, the swerve & the slippery part made the day.. if only i could go faster... it will be mad... har har har..

In total, im happy to be in Kulim. where i can try the track anytime whenever i like. The track deserved a visit anytime for riders who which to feel the flow of fun. Even the first climbing part was something for us to try conquer in 1 go. i certainly will do again. cant do it on the day due to MTB ( mari tolak basikal).. hehe.. cannot blame them.. tell me someone? how to build leg (stamina) to climb that in 1 go fast??????.. heheh it will be a challege.. for me after sometime.. my heart is pumpin like hell & that is it.. har har har..

1 thing i hate for sure...the 10-12 km flat road.. i hate road ... flat even worse... i don't feel anything on the straight flat tarmac. bloody hell...

The marshal, feeding point & etc were prime. ( most of them are frens hhihih) & somehow.. the moral support was there to boost mi up.... thanks to all.. & my jiran was also there giving out moral support .. ehehhe... on the motobike.. damn.. sepatutnya hang kayuh sekali... hampeh... tapi .. aku paham....hihhi

I had 3 frens from Kl who joined the event & had changed their perception on MTB completely. Their playground is Lembah klang area & just restarted the hobby. Their among the best quote were..
" lepas ni, track kat kl to tak ada apa la utk kita.. kita dah berjaya lepas yang ni"....
"Aku tak pernah rasa sepenat ini selama ni."
"Aku nak datang balik sini, selalu aku naik bukit steroid tu ok je, sini ntah kenapa susah sangat"
" DH yg licin aku terus turun je.. byk kali aku jatuh tapi aku tak kira.. dah penat kayuh naik bukit .. so jumpe Dh best ni.. mana boleh lepas peluang.. habis semua org aku halau..aku tak kira"
" Bila lagi ada event kat kulim, hang terus register utk kami, jgn byk tanya , register kan, insyaAllah kami sampei"

& 1 of them is considered OKU. But he tried very hard to complete until the river crossing. he also enjoy the DH yg licin...
" datang jauh jauh .. nak miss out peluang ni.. & give up early.. podahh"
" ada 1 point, marshal tanya aku , abang sorang sorang je kat sini? abang yang last ke, hehe malu jugak ye la.. tapi saya nak continue.. marshal: abng continue until cross sungai aje ye.. kami dah stop dah yang lain dari naik ke sini."

Big salute to Him.. No retreat.. yet no surrender.. until marshal.. said.. masa dah time.. so .. next time then...

ENough said..

Mixed weekend. ( Kayuhan Amal for anak mizi venzo, Camping & biking trip & my com annual dinner. Infineon

2011-04-12T07:33:00.000+08:00

Assalammulaikum...

Last weekend was great. i mean... very productive.. i killed 3 birds with 1 stone. actually...there were no birds.. ill change that.. i ate fishes like i never ate one before...1 strike.... 20 of them...
enough mengarut..

The weekend already pre planned with activities.. My main would be the camping & biking trip to Ulu Mahang. The biggest event was the Kayuhan Amal for anak Mizi venzo.... Then my soft charging event to close account for the weekend was the Infineon dinner.

All were great. only spent few mins with the lads for kayuhan amal. on the way to Camping & biking trip, we met them & decided to mingle for a while. Many riders.. it was like. wooooo...
good to see MTB folks....has branched out the scope...

Then , the camping stories began.
The turn up was pretty disappointing but we managed to squeeze out few fun factors in it.

only 2 riders with 6 kampung lads.
This time, I continued with the event even after the last minute call off from few participants.
It was the fun things to do & alhamdullilah the small turn up was not a stopping factor. har har har..

Again the main attraction was the waterfall & ikan tengas.
The delicacies were served to us like we should pay them RM150 per trip

let see the menu prepared by Org kampung for us

Saturday lunch

Ayam masak merah
Ikan kembung goreng
sayur
nasi
Jering & sambal belacan.
( pre cooked from kampung)

Dinner
Gulai kari daging batang pisang. Famous baling,mahang or etc food for kenduri & tasted like one....
Ikan tengas goreng & bakar. ( freshly caught)
BBQ ayam
Ayam goreng

Sunday breakfast.
additional ikan tengas & ayam goreng (left from previous included)

Sunday lunch
additional ikan tengas goreng (left over from previous included)

So ni trip camping & biking tapi actually camping ,biking & gemukan badan & makan good food.

Cant imagine the just charged us RM40 per head. i didnt do a single. thing.

On saturday afternoon, we biked to the tip of the banjaran bintag. about 30km from the campsite. but unfortunately we had to stop 3.4 way. Byk sgt tapak kaki & tahi fumakilla clan. Then motorcross support advised us to change our plan. aha... not a problem.. after 3 pinggan nasi for lunch... the was the best decision heheh..
We were escorted by 2 motorcorss & 1 cupcross.. ( part of the deal)

The next day , man & decided to join the org kampung to menjala ikan tengas again.. hmm..
lembik kami.. it was too tiring & adventurous... i dont know how describe.,. but later in the future... you guys wanna join us... then join the manjala trip..then you know..
heeh

went out about 1600 & by 1830 i reached E & O hotel penang for my co dinner.

Came late & missed the red carpet part.. i was placed on the second floor due to no more space on the main hall. haha not an issue. Happening day for my co. performances, fashion show & stuff. The Many assets were revealed & i was shocked myself.. how come?? who?? do i know you form somewhere?

i dont know how much the had spent on those... but they sure looked stunning...

Assalammualaikum.. & very good early mornin..

Q: "kenapa lambat sgt update? ni dah hari rabu?"
BJ: "Sebab penat sangat. ntahle.. malas pun ada."
Q:" Why?"
BJ:" Carik pasai sendirile. pi kayuh sana kayuh sini.. gatai..."
Q:" oo macam tu. cuba le cerita sekit."
BJ:" Sabtu teman kayuh di 2011 Jom kyuh @ PTSB. Poly depan rumah teman punya event. Jiran teman lecturer kat situ yg jadi org kuat.. tu yg dpat nombor 1 tu. har har har" tapi mini jamboree je.
Then ahad teman join road event kayuh almost 100km. gune teman punya old school road bike.. langsung kepenatan. Lepaih sabtu tu,, after upacara penyampaian hadiah, teman pi tepeng.. pi kenduri kawin member teman. sampei balik kulm pukui 8. then tak cukup rehat.. kayuh balik hari ahad.. tu la tumpo teruih.."
Q:"Ada sape tak yg suruh encik buat macam tu?"
BJ:" hang nak carik gaduh ke?"
Q:" maafkan saya. sekadar ingin mengetahui"
BJ:" heh takpe.. dua dua pun boleh.
Q:" Amacam trek poly?"
BJ:" trek sgt memberansangkan.. sebab depa ada selit technical technical aspect. walaupun sikit. tapi dah start utk kasi rider rider di malaysia belajo.. sesuai le... cuma.. teman tak kuat duduk tgh tgh. so tak boleh layan those technical bila dah ramei yang nolak... ha hah ah,,,( alasan teman je tu)
Q:" eh apa pasai depa tolak?"
BJ:" ramei yang takut takut lagi, & tak pernah jumpa technical technical part tu. tu pasai depa tolak. itu pasai teman berkenan trek ni. sebab. bila dah start ada..& rider rider dah selalu jumpa & maybe boleh start training kat situ.. barulah. boleh upgrade level MTB malaysia.. ni setakat main trek balak , kelapa sawit & huwa... best best... best tang mana nya? sebab.. teman sendiri pun takut takut bila ada technical part. sebab jarang ada pendedahan.. . contohnya.. bila turun kiara or PCP.. nga nga... terlopong tak boleh turun.. padahal MTB... tapi pendapat temanle... "
Q:" Kenapa .. trek trek yg selama ni tak cukup mencabarke??"
BJ:" eh.. tak le macam tu. Cabaran tu byk... mental, endurance & etc. tapi dari segi technical.. ramei lagi riders kita akan tolak dari try lalui.. termasuk teman.. sebab...jarang jumpa.. itu aje...cabaran dari segi mental & endurance sebenarnya dah byk jugak...ada yng ngarut sampei tak boleh kayuh pun ada. uphill downhill...semua tu ok sebenarnya.. tapi bila dah kumpul sampei 1000 org nak kayuh macam tu.. hehe... jadi bodoh semua nunggu..... maafkan saya"
Q:" hmm..interesting pendapat. saya rase ramei riders yang dah lama berkecimpung didalam arena ni mungkin bersependapat dgn encik?"
BJ:" entahle. gamaknye le. kalu tak same pun takpe.. itu pasai Allah bagi nama saya A nama hang B. Kalu same semua.. boringle..."
Q:" bagaimana pula dgn kayuhan hari ahad?.. road bike tadikan? macamana boleh terjebak?"
BJ:" ahahah.. dah nama kayuhan classic. & telah diracun member infineon . sorang tu dah nak berhenti.. so rasa boleh le join nak try distance limit. tapi...dah biasa kayuh tgn bukak. ni kayuh tgn kemut... so dada teman pun kemut.. tak berapa berkenan le..
cadang nak let go bianchi ni... ada geng fixie nak beli buat fixie.. lantekle kome'..
Q:" ok ok.. masa dah nakk tammat le encik.. terima kasihle sebab sudi kongsikan pengalaman penat encik yg saya rasa byk yg menysahkan diri sendiri ni.. utk sesuatu kepuasan yg hanya didunia sahaja.;... ...eh.&%&*#%.... eh... kenapa ni.. adoooiii la... sob sob..
BJ:" kan dah kena.. gatai mulut tu... dah pi balik..."

2011-03-14T22:06:00.000+08:00

Low spec vs high spec :

Acheh vs Sendai

1. Economy
2, Knowledge of Natural disaster ( Tsunami,earthquake & bla bla)
3. Standard of living
4. Literacy rate
5. GDP

the list goes on.....

Where is our home town?????
What would the statistic be like????

hmm... no one can escape this...

Im joining the trot with people around the world about the disaster in Japan. Good thought & gesture of help one can only offer to ease those pain. Only the creator alone can help us.

May Allah be with you all.

my extreme hills 50 KM cut short to 30K... but the machine was not turn on during the last part ha ha ha

2011-03-13T23:46:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum....

Had 5 people today & guest of honour from Penang Island klik Herren Sufian Idris...
MTB freak, after the ride with us, went to Teluk Batik & participated in the Teluk Batik Maiden Jam.
He he he.. strong man with will of steel...Kuda besi kau.. heheh salute

Actually not today, it was yesterday.. 12/3/2011

Planned a week to go for the craziest elevation & elevation sequence i had ever known... again to me. to others it might be nothing...

1/5 2009 Kulim including the original first set of hills. ( some people experienced this during 2009 test Track session).
Then continue with 2011 PSTB track. 1/2 of it including their techi & slimmy DH section. Accidentally found their new fun route with power rolling section...it will jammed up the crowd during the day. most beginner & event intermediate will not dare trying...

ANyway, the attempt to continue with Kulim bukit Botak ( 7km up & 7km down) was not materialized as the day was getting hotter & hmm.. we were getting weaker & weaker..... har har har..

Our guess had to leave us for his teluk batik jam preparation & pre program, we then continued with the other half of 2011 PSTB track. the punishing one.. oh my god........
i guess the kids ( Shafiq & Jefri) might had cursed me for this. It was really the end of our energy & i had non left when i reached the top. then we decided to take fast down to the normal reverse 3m. Somehow the fast DH managed to bring a smile to our face. small work together session to cross a gap & a river. ( short cut to skip another climbing).... we finally out of the offroad by 1400++.... then we had our separate way...

So total about 30-35km ++ were covered. For me,, i had to call off the sunday ride due to exhausted.
I cant believed it... heheh anyway... those kids pun pengsan & didnt turn up for sunday ride... i did turned up at 7/11 but with my truck ...

hahahhaha anyway.. ill dare myself to complete my target soon.

1/5 Kulim track + 1/1 bukit botak & 3/4 2011 PSTB track. That will give me 3 medium high hilss with steep climbing, Small hills rolling section, Long climbing ( 7km) with several steep parts in between, another rolling section & 1 medium distance with steep climbing... small section of flat to recover in between. this part will protect us from the sun .. dont worry .. byk besar itu pokok kelapa sawit.... Then out from behind Infineon.. on road to Padang CIna & end up after first solar bukit rimau offroad & last not too high & long climbing section....

cita cita tinggi.. hehehe

Enjoy

2011 Jeli Kayuh Sokmo ( MTB)

2011-03-01T22:31:00.000+08:00

Phewwwwwwww
ASsalammualaikum.

Went to JEli with GA gang. ( Great adventure Sabah Man Cendoi)
Lepak homestay with Another GA badboy: Tandope & Alor setar/changlun group.

i like the event.
I hate the late start...
I like abe Aji yang join the race

I hate the road part in the event
I like the "full of concentration DH section"
I hate the ignorance riders yg tak paham.. "dah tolak dok kiri kasi orng nak kayuh disebelah kanan"
i Like the mixture of the track... Kg org ASli, school children supporters & many more...
I hate the last part of the track where a diversion in the DH where most people missed out & came infront.. hahaha...

Anyway...
all are excellent.

what i hate the most was the restaurant we went for dinner the night before. Somewhere in between Jeli to kebun bunga....

order dah ambik
air dah hanto
local peopl came amik order dpt semua
then amik order lagi sekali kat kami... kata terlupa
makanan sampei.. sikit, tak ada rasa, sejuk.. ( nasi sme leper dgn pinggan)
then 1 fren tak dapek langsung
tunggu hampir dua jam...
itu yang sgt kecewa.. & jeli failed due to that. first impression ...haha.. tapi who cares... kitaorang punya pendapat je...

Enjoy the trail.

2011 Banjaran Bintang changed to 2011 Kota warisan Mit Orangje

2011-01-14T07:30:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum & salam sejahtera.
Tagged along with Geng Jahat Oren colour to Kota Warisan somewhere near Dengkil.
Summoned Azmir to join & yes he did joined without hesitation. Good old buddy.

About 10 to 13 people gathered & we started the day with a small speech & a doa. ( thanks for welcoming mi & my fren) it was a nice gesture..

Meeting point: Pasar Awam Dengkil
Turn up: 10-13
Ride starts at: Around 0800
Ride ends at: 1430

It began with Tarmac & entering Ladang kelapa sawit.
It was a fine day with less sun light.Alhamdullilah, it stayed like that almost the whole journey.
If not, we might suffer more for the second half of the track.

I did a summersault act in one of the small descend at the beginning. I dont know, once going down with a little force to reduce the speed, my handle bar got twisted outward & i dont know how ,then, phewwwww....360 tertunggeng ke depan.. har har har..luckily nothing much happen & it was at slow speed.

Re tighten the handle bar & move on. I had a small phobia after that .. had to check here n there if the handle bar was tighten tight enough to handle the force during DH. I had sent my bike for servis earlier on & maybe & maybe it was not tighten properly..

Thanks to the back markers for helping out during the time.

Then, another near disaster event also came in. During one of the DH, my rear wheel skidded & almost managed to put me down. I remembered the feeling.. it was not good & kecut perut & all.. luckily..it managed to return to the stable position .pheww.... close call..

The track was nice. with various challenges. & at 1 of the part, we tried 2 or 3 times to conquer the peak. non of us pass. I tried twice & yes.. ill come again. It is about 200m up to 25-35 degree incline.. on loose gravel, grass & non flatted surface. & near gaung on your left hand side.

Ha ha.. stop at the local Cendul stop for some light snack. but not too light for some people.
Then the second part began. The offroad session was fun. it is really an off road. the offroad with hard a road left. With a bit of stumbled, everyone managed to got to the peak.. it was a nice view & yeaahhh..

Several act in front of the camera & then we climbed for the last peak before going down.

Heiiii Yeah,,, the downhill section was fun.... but required a bit of technical & control if wanna go smooth.. & the last part was the best.. but i stopped..heheh I had this phobia of stopping at a DH section. once i stop ill have problem to restart.. so for this case,,, i sorong my bike a little then only rode at the safer area... heheheh poor me.

Journey to the car on tarmac was ok. rolling section.

It was a fun half a day trip with bike & i m certainly will come back to conquer the steep hill. haha

Thanks to GengKayuhBeb.. You guys are awesome. My fren & i felt welcome all the way & were included in the group without any prejudice. That shows how versatile this biking group is..

Well done & keep up the good frenship among all the MTB hardcore Malaysia...( we will get there one day... Hardcore in trailing....) har har har .. insyaAllah

Kulim 2009 MTB Exploration Original track revisited report.....

2011-01-03T14:29:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum.

The report.

Total turn up : 13
Riders after first hill: 11
Riders after the last hill: 10

Starts: 0845
End : 1230

Number of prominent hill: 3

It was a classic. It remind me of the time i had firstly joined & killin myself on those hills.. the first hill with a cement single trail ascending was not the one i fancied & was not able to climb with a bike. Hiking was the mean of it.

The track is still the same. but this time, the turned up team was a regular riders .So, maybe no problem to them. Even some of the marks are still visible.

This hill managed to chicken out 2 of the turned up.Total off road with loose gravel & non flat slippery mud in the first 300m of the climb.

The 2nd hill offers another technical ascend. with wild grass, non flat surface full of water runaway..., loose gravel, slippery mud & daaahhhhh arrggghhhhh. It was hard for us stay on the bike..heheh at least us...

The long donwhill was there .hmm.. the compound has turned up very hard. I mean rock hard... so no smooth ,fast & sweeping downhill.. takut mah...heheheh

Then the last hill. We got lost. after seraching here & there,, we managed to find but almost at 3/4 distance from the original distance.It was.. hard as the first time i rode on it.. with slippery surface & steep angle. mud & mud everywhere.. huwaaaaaa.. it was tough & yeah for us again..By this time, all were tired. I told them even more scary fact. It is just the first check point.... What???????
The new kids on the block ( 15 years old gang) were really shocked? they had done 2010 Kayuh Lasak & finished all the checkpoint by 1400.from their face, they cant believed that for this trail, we just cover CP1. hahahah.. total off road & wild surface. that is the different.

We were stopped by the guard to enter the 2nd part of the trail.

"New management", tanpa urusan .. tak boleh masuk...

Huwaa.... most of us were frustrated but thankful... heheh you know who you are,,,

Then we had to head to Tmn Bukit Mahkota & do 2009 Polytechnic Kulim Mini jamboree first part in reverse. The loose gravel downhill turn up to be loose gravel steep up hill.... huwaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
But it was the last climb... so no choice...........

had our refreshment & recuperating meal at Sg Ular & head to whatever our own target destination.

En Yusoff was the sponsor of the day. It was his birthday. heheh... Selamat hari tua old buddy...

Enjoy..

2010 KL..
A week late report.nobody ask for it har har har...
Didnt register under Recovery Malaysia as... was using a fast portal through ALor star Street bike channel. Thanks to Man & the Alor setar's Stars.....

My sayin of kayuh lasak....
1. double last year's punishing....
2. double last year's thrills...
3. double the like from me....

Totally abused my bike during descending... especially the mud slide area.....
But the scare of fallin came from time to time.. had made me applied the metal rubbing... hmmm Ti in my hand....worked well & the mark is a good mark... some point.. i even stopped due to scare...
nonetheless .. nothing can ignore the adrenaline rush fun,,,,

Still bad in the straight flat road... i only can go max 25km/h...
climbin... yeah,,, ok,,, but long way to improve..... but this year,,, i did 90% biked on the Sg Pinang .
climb... yeahooo...but pushin riders were faster than me.. hahahahaha..
last year... 100% pushing...

started 0745 & my finishin clocked at 1410..

Had my first puncture in an event... Cempedak single trail ascend... no space to stop.. so .. had to push some distance b4 i found a place to fix the rear wheel.... then.. the puncture on me began....

love the technical descend...single trail... long single trail.. muddy single trail..i had made last minute call to mix the tire thread... it was worth it....& climbin was the best i can by moving upward siputly & managin my air intake..but with more people on a small tar climbing... Before CP2.. made it difficult to move siputly but to stop and pushed.

Overall........ i liked the event & enjoyed every single part of it.. har har har..what to say... for people who had missed the chance to join.. try harder next year,,,

Enjoy the pics & the live videos.. had put on,,,,

certainly will repeat the track with frens...anytime.. just have to find the right riders...
(The hardcore one) = no complain.... no give up & cravin for more challenges ... eventhough you are not ready for it...har har har...

-The bond between bikerz ( who had joined) is growing stronger.
-The food was nice for both days. ( Thanks to abg Din;s Family & Rusdi)
-We had many type of sponsor ,
--fund for volunteers food,( including, dozens of mineral waters, homemade ikan haruan kering,sandwiches & other food),
-- comfortable place to stay & rest in between work, ( Mr Din's homestay at titi Gajah ,Rusdi's house & Abe Din's House )
--we were equipped with water jet pumps (a neighbour of mine lent his unit, 1 of the participant unselfishly bought 1 for the cause & another unit owned by one of the participant)

It was a fun event .Everyone seems to enjoy . Many flaws can be observed from our side but that was it. Our part to the situation. We wish we could have done more & insyaAllah that wish will come true in the future.

About RM300++ were spent to buy cleaning& working tools, they are under my keeping. To all the fund contributors, please be informed. i wish to keep the units for future program. if ada penentangan & perbincangan, sila utarakan. you can call me 0122163222 . Of course kebenaran from all of you di perlukan.

Food for volunteers, i memang dah dapat kebenaran utk itu.

A fren suggested to me to donate the units to any surau .. but i think i want to absorb the units to Kulim' Help to do team props. The units can be used for any similar events in the future.

Please let me know. Obviously from time to time ill use some of the units myself for my own purpose. Anything... let us discuss & please suggest .You all are the pemegang saham. your wish is my command.

GAS D3. Climbing to Laban Rata from Mersilau Gate

2010-11-09T00:34:00.001+08:00

hmmm another delay.. just for the sake of updating.
& staggering because malasing & saje nak bagi suspend.. syok sendiri hehehe

The map
The link to everytrail

Nice breakfast at MErsilau Cafe. Actually we were too early to the place.heheh saja bikin panaih.

After sessi bergambo & stuff... maka sessi taklimat & stretchin & byk lagi

Hmm the climb was fun. the pace was totally off. about 3 group. front ,middle & damn slow siput.
The front part also disintegrated at the last part. i bet the last kilometer was a killer.. Bila nak habih ni.??
The view was nice, A lot better than Timpohon.. believe me.. We had waterfall, titi gantung... top of the hill view & almost like on Mars ( with orange background)

I was tryin my limit by carrying my own stuff... it was ok & but off balance a bit when going down. ( Mersilau has up & down texture. not like Timpohon. Total ascend....

Finally we all ( the front runners ) reached the junction.hmmm that was it..the real torture began.
Those porter are not human. i saw female bertudung porter also.. carrying items which weighted >30kg. Running porter going down....
Met & chatted with locals ( Porters & visitors)
Some slow porters admitted that they use to climb 8 times in a month. (utk part time) Gallen. hmmm but locals were friendly.

The front runners:

Jett Linn ,Dong,Haji Adi,Wan,Dayani,Fendi

Middle earth:

Sumi,Rapper ( Aida),Tengkurak,Abe Din Merton & bla bla.

Slow siput:

Hai NIk... & Jo. Thanks to BroZAm & BroMan for supporting.

The earlierst was around 1430 & the last reached by 1800. Alhamdullilah. Pucat muko si Nik masa sampei...

It was fun. Very cold. & many people mengeluarkan kata kata lucah when were forced to climb to Gunting Lagadan Dormitory after reaching Laban rata. Only extra 150m. but damn.. it took us almost 20 min.

Tip:

1. Shorter route, choose Timpohon .

2. Great view & really great view choose Mersilau

3.Mersilau Nature resort offers nice food & cozy dormitory

4.Use porters if you can.It is really punishing to carry your own item. but up to you..

5.Packed lunch provided by the resort is the best lunch you can ever had up there ( during climbing). Bring some your own . Actually it is not enough for some people.

6.Camera is a must. very nice view

7.Train for the climbing.Not just stamina, Mental plays the major & vital role.

Enjoy

GAS Overall Summary & brief info.. ( penulis dah malaih) har har har

2010-11-02T23:52:00.002+08:00

Assalammualaikum..

Enjoy summary & statistic..

8 days & 7 nights not so secret recipe......

Then this is the summary of main event. Biking & hiking.

& the little for fun statistic.. ( dah tak ada kerja lain)

Total mileage (Biking & hiking)

Total mileage for Biking

Total mileage for Hiking

Sum of time taken for both activities

Sum of time taken for biking

Time taken for hiking

daily elevation Profile (Both activities)

Daily downhill profile ( both activities)

What sort of mood you are looking for ??

Day 1: almost equal amount of elevation & downhill, Meaning flat road. So, im not good at straight line flat road speed. hate it. hate to push myself.Nothing to proof or achieve for me .

Day 2: Big elevation meaning big & long climbing. Head down.Something we look forward to. ( for mental ,stamina & bla bla training. You ill go slowly & steadily. Little place to recover .Mainly torturing & damn.. bila nak habis ni..

Day 3: Hiking day. Of course just climbing. but a little flat & some downhill if Using Mersilau route. If timpohon, expect no mercy. mostly total climbing. I was not smilling at all for the last 1KM.

Day 4: To summit & all the way down through timpohon gate. Big downhil. Yes.. 3 km uphill & 8 km going down. Torturing & wished i had brought along my fullsus bike.

Day 5:More downhill compare to climbing. Meaning. rolling route.Yeah.. enjoy a bit but ha ha ha .. hill come & go... The view is just nice..

Day 6: More downhill of course. infact fun & scary downhill . The climbing is to the highest peak of the journey, but you know it is the last climb ( heavy one).. so just go for it.. har har.har..

My vote for the toughest day is: 2nd day

My best day : The last ride ( day 6)

Enjoy.

It is fun to merapu statistically. Hehehe at least i had fun doing it.. that matters the most........

GAS ( Great Adventure Sabah) Day 2

2010-10-20T22:03:00.003+08:00

Let the topography stories begin.....

0730 Depart from Hotel to Tamparuli Police station .Breakfast was ok.
0800 ++ Arrived & Prepared the bike. Alhamdullilah . Storage was intact.
Pictures with Tamparulli head Police officer, A little stretching session & doa.. & then shooted off.

The U tube movie: Bikes out of store...

The day was getting longer & longer...............longer.... longer.................longer..

First 3 km was a breather... almost flat ... but once we past through 1 roundabout.... the torturing part began... climbing all the way to Kg Kelawat for almost 20Km++.. Very little & short downhill.

Our speed were slowed by the topography. Mine was fluctuated around 5-10km/h.
The mind game was on. Oh my god Allah,,,, what have i put myself into....the view was nice but hardly can enjoy since i was concentrated to pedal constantly to keep my heart beat at a normal & constant rate. Due to that i was aiming to only stopped at the peak. At least the nearest peak.

Ranau 63KM ( mark on the stone by the road). No sign for Nabalu or Kinabalu Park .Sigh... we kept goin & movin....

Ranau 62KM argh,,,

Ranau 61KM hmmmm already almost 20 min...

Anjing kaco....

Ranau 58KM
Ranau 50Km
anjing kasi acan... hmmm hampeh...

Ranau 43KM.... huwaaaaa... no peak yet... oh god

Found this weird lookin stall.. " writen Sinalau Bakas" I Asked the stall keeper, ini puncak ka?? ( i saw the road was going down up front).. the stall keeper said ya. ya, .. & then i decided to stop.

hmmm what was this" Sinalau Bakas" Then the stall keeper told me. heheheh babi hutan salai... hmmm nice...
But already decided to stop there.. i just kept my distance hehehe... & it was very nice of the Sabahan to write " Tak halal" simply had a chat with me & informed me to stay away from the smoke . Asap salai daging babi.. That what I called mutual respect.

Got to know them & interviewed them a bit .Later our support car arrived & soon the rest of the team stopped at the same location.

U tube movie 2

U tube movie 3

After refueling , we started the journey again. Hei.. quite long downhil & hmmmm... climbed again. We were stopped by this white Anjing gila by the road. Actually anjing anjing ini memang suko ngacau kami.. hampir all the house we passed had anjing. Muslim or non muslim... .. i guess they keep the anjing to guard their house... Several anjing will attack you .. run from far away & barked very loud near you.for my case.. i kept calm & recited Bismillah & ... alhamdullilah ... the dogs pulled away. It i was panickin g & start to pedal faster, i guess they will chased.

We stopped again at this nice location of the Kinabalu peak & the magnificent valley underneath it.

Then... something came out..a girdle.... what on earth... 1 of GAses used girdle??har har har.. macam macam ... maybe it help in someway,, i dont know.. but it look a bit kinky... bad boy... hahahhahahahaha

Journey continued for another painful climbing.. Nabalu was not that far anymore...Suddenly a van passed by & i heard voices of screaming team.... it was AYTR team. We were already near a row of shops selling art craft & stuff....

Another climb.... we were getting there ....
Yeah.. Nabalu finally was conquered by us... By 1400, we arrived the town & parked behind the town main building over the Mount kinabalu mountain view.. phewww.......

We had our lunch there & several chatting & picture taking session with GASes & AYTR.

Not so bad news came out. by this time, 4 GASes already gave up.( 1 was way earlier )

The journey restarted.

Utube video near almost Pekan Nabalu
Another utube at nabalu
The legs were getting soared & expanded. The geared was no longer maintain .In fact in regular basis, the lightest gear was chosen.I need to keep goin & not to stop in the middle of climbing. Stop at the peak. That was my motivation. So after a while, we stopped again at the beginning of a short downhill.Another session of pictures taking of some really amazing views.. Subhanallah.. We saw the cloud was moving very fast around Mount Kinabalu....Another time we were passed by AYTR van. They stopped earlier on for their lunch.

Facebook album from Man the PEople's bank. ( kami semua camera tak baguih hehe)

Finally climbing until Bundu Tuhan & Kinabalu Park entrance. I was trying to take picture with my Iphone & suddenly it dropped on the road . Luckily only the outer cover of my external battery crack. But still can be used.. har har.. berderau darah aku jugak...

Arrived & bundu tuhan & continued for amother 3km to Kinabalu Park entrance.
by 1615++ we arrived at Kinabalu Park entrance. It was our target for today. Actually earlier on, we target to stop at Kundasang. Meaning another 7 km downhill from Kinabalu park. But we had decided to park our bike at Puncak Borneo Motel at Bundu tuhan to make our life easier later once we get down from Mount Kinabalu through Timpohon Gate.
Alhamdullilah..

utube kat kinabalu park entrance. final destination for biking

Several call were made & we had to go back to bundu tuhan.Our support van had a puncture.( Tandop's fault)..A nice Sabahan lent us his hardware for tire changing due to we had not enough parts for the fixing.. after everything settle , we discovered that the parts was stored at a special location. heheeh memang tak pernah guna van punya kaki....

Alhamdullilah.. Problem fixed & we were not losing as much time as we feared we would.

bidio utube acara tuko taya

Went to Puncak borneo to park the bike. Had to rent a room for storage after all negotiation failed to get free store. hehehe Met Their friendly workers.. ( waiters, Sania, Sanjana & Anzlena) huhuhu

We performed our jamak & QASAR prayer there & headed down to Kundasang where the 3 chickens were waiting for us.
Bought new tire & yes, problem fixed.

Bidio of Puncak BOrneo

Headed up to Mersilau Eco Resort for our staying that night.
It was a steep climb to the resort. Earlier we were thinking of biking to the resort. It will take us maybe 2 hours to reach with that kind of hill.. Alhamdullilah we decided not too.

Reached the resort by 1845, registered & were treated with free DIY hot drinks... Then to our dormitory.

We found out that to go to our dormitory, we need to climb a very steep ascend. We decided to go & take our dinner first .

It was the best dinner . Buffet style catered by Sutera Harbour team.. hmmm So the food was very nice. & The waitress too. ahahahaha

Later AYTR team joined us for dinner but we were to tired to stay longer & infact we were already full with foods. heheh

Later that night, after we all settled down in our dorm & getting ready for the next day climbing to laban rata, i went down to meet AYTR group by the cafe & joined them at their dormitory for socializing AYTR style...

of course when AYTR got together,, many stupid things came out. not to forget the weird photo session.

In the dorm we had a chat & teka teki session. Azrul favourite ikan kepala dua riddle.
We were also served with Biji Nangka Rebus by uncle Din.. hmm yummy,,, but mampuile.. aku kentut malam ni.. hehehe . First time tril for JEtt lin & of course something funny came out..

" kenapa lidah saya ada rasa macam ada satu layer" ( with her funny voice) everybody was laughing their head off.

& Nik M with her intelligence riddle.
How to determine the odd in term of weightfor ball of 8 using weighing unit ( timbang/neraca tuas /yang sewaktu dgnnya) in 2 steps...

hahaah done deal
Then Sarah played her table jokes & games,
1.listen carefully
2.Coin arrangement
3.Black magic

Jettlin got the pattern first. all the time.

but for black magic... there were several fluke attempt by Uncle Din & the clan...
har har har... they thought they got it.. in someway they thought it was through.. but it went the other way around.. & it was so funny to see their expression ... but in the end... it was wrong...

argh.. we had a good laugh that night..
by 0000, we called it off & had some rest for tomorrow big day.

TipS;
1. Hei.for mount Kinabalu climbers, register & stay at Mersilau Eco resort. Very cheap & nice dinner & breakfast.. RM 55 for climbere. The dorm is also ok.
2. Whoerever plan to go to kinabalu park for a drive, do tapau your lunch earlier on to secure halal food & good food. It is very hard to get halal food up there.
3. For bikers.. if you plan to bike & ride from tamparulli to Kinabalu park, please wear long sleeve or the tutup aurat punya kain or lotion if you dont want to get a sunburn on your hand skin... like me.. i hate those longs sleeve & lotion but i had to suffer the consequences.... We were moving very slow & the sunlight had longer time to burn my skin heheehhee

4. for bikers .. go slow & steady & do not stop. once you stop, you will stop more & get really tired.
5. Powerbar , bar & gel or any energy food are a must for bikers to continue having supply of energy to complete the route.
6. DOnt bike.. ride on the van instead.
7. You need good camera. view of mount kinabalu from this route is amazing . Watch out for cloud... The cloud will reveal the peak anytime they like & very little time.MOst of the time , it is covered by the cloud.
8.IF you thinking of riding.. train... get enough training & set & train your mental also... you will need them...

Adios

GAS ( Great Adventure Sabah) Day 1 Part II

2010-10-19T20:24:00.002+08:00

Continue..

Assalammualaikum...
macamana nak start huh? aku tinggai tang mana write up tu?
hantam sajalah..
habis parking bike at Tamparuli Police station, we were heading back to KK.
We stopped at this MJ restoran for some lunch. Had to do U turn just for the place. No plan.

Wan had nasi ayam. Testi= tak sedap
The rest had nasi goreng isi ikan. Testi = OK
I had Nasi goreng lalap. Testi= dapat paling lambat.Tanya waitress tu.. What is LALAP? her answers was: "lalap is lalap lah.." ngampeh.. Then tak direkomen .. at least kedai ni.

Drinks, most of us dranks the PowerBar Recovery mixture. We ordered a tumbler full of ice & another tumbler with only water. Then we dug in & made our own recipe.Hmm.. kind of nice. ( SPonsored mah.. mahai barang tu hehehe)

In the car, those guys were talkin about the female Kungfu Master..Jett Lin.....
im now lookin for the conversation we had in the car... hmm... where are though??????????
Time has not yet arrive.... if you know what i mean.... hehehe guys will always be guys....

Back to KK & went straight to Tang Dynasty.
Room were reserved & I was given the opportunity to be with MR GA Tommy page.

Dengaq lagu sart from him...

hmmm.. metro metro... har har har

By 1400 hundred, my AYTR geng called me up.. Of course my wife was the one... went down with them for lunch & met the rest of the AYTR who were registered for this program.. hmm. my GASes will drop thei jaw. soon...hehehe

After short lunch & catchin up with those old buddies, ( most of them i knew & had the opportunity to become their Facis on their PKTR days..)

What should we do? Mr TEngkurak popped out the question... Hei Gaya Island. let go to Gayana Resort. After several phone calls.. we then decided to go to the place. It costed us RM 60 each for both way. ( boat transfer only & a visit to their marine preservation center.)

Hmmmm but it was worth it.. nice resort,
got to see funny stuff,
-Rock n roll fish,
-met mr Kiki, Mr Carpet ,Patrick& bla bla.
-able to meet & petting patrick & the geng... h,, what a day & hei.. not bad...
-lovely plae for honeymoon but of course mr XXXXX... expensive...
-i had a recovery swimming. it was goood one after warm up ride..

Then back to the hotel for dinner.

0830 all gathered in the small hall
10 GASes + 13 AYTR

GASes already realized.... jeng jeng jeng & dah tak duduk senyap hehehe

We had nice dinner ,
Roasted lamb ,Salmon curry & those regular stuff in the served dinner.

Then we had a little ice breaking session with AYTR. Everybody must introduced themselves briefly. Then, it started with all the jokes & laugh & any sort hahahah.
It was so much fun n the relationship web started from there.

BY 2300 most of us had gone to their respective room & cool off. I got another surprise. Extra room gave by the CM. Which mean, i got to stay with my wife for a night . HAr har HaR....

TIps:
1. Yeah , please go to Tamparulli. Nothing special but the scene of the bridge was interesting. It ll get more interesting if locals walk by . We were there at 1200++ & most locals just came back from church nearby & had to cross the river to the main side of the town. So, we met them at the bridge & yes... There were many interesting people .. hehhe
2. Mengkabong , Firsherman village
Another interesting place with unic view.
a village near a muara. houses with sort of swarm surrounding. ( 1 part) . The other part, floating house by the water , & also like government house / Sabah state project house nearby. But, nothing much to see & we could not get to the floating one as it need boat transfer & stuff.
3.Jesselton point water front/jetty
We were there around 4 o clock & yes the place was crowded with people of all sort & races. Rasa macam kat Europe masa summer. human traffic with holiday mood. ( beach style) the sunlight was just nice to trigger my mind of the places. Many shops around for foods, souvenir & bla bla. The walk thru to the jetty really will excites you & make you smile.
4. Gayana Resort, Pulau Gaya
Costed us RM 60 but hei.. worth to go & visit their Marine life center. Small exhibition center there but you will experience many new things. The open aquarium of Starfish kinds, sea cucumber & more.... you can pet them & hold them.Really something out of my mind to be able to hold strange starfish & carpet sea cucumber. Giant sea shell is another thing & the famous rock fish. rock on n camouflage.
5. Travel by taxi.
Have to state clearly to the taxi driver. We ask for Jesselton point. & the taxi took us to Center point.
Clearly & said to him more than once. But dont know what happen...
6. There are shopping complex in the same building with Tang DYnasty hotel. We were having lunch there at level 3 i guess. Several stall served some nice rumpai laut & my wife & like it. It looked like an agar agar. Very nice.

GAS ( Great Adventure Sabah) Day 1

2010-10-19T07:31:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum.

BY now can you tell who had joined the trip? ( please refer the IC picas)

It was a blend of various age.Not much of a different background overall. But, it took one to understand one really , to understand how's one work. I mean functioning . Ha ha.. so .. that was the challenge...

A group of loonies from PKTR program kids had joined the adventure more a less.
They are now AYTR. hahahahh... Apo ke jadah nya tu?
I am one of the AYTR members. Since the beginning, I personally invited AYTR to tag along with this GAS trip. Skip the biking part, just join the climbing sensation. And after several social meeting, & behind the scene planning, it was made real by Allah through TengKu Harith's hardwork & etc.

Ha hA Ha. & it was also a very last minute confirmation from AYTR to join us GASES.
We managed to flow out small amount from sponsors to sponsor out GASES as well as AYTR members.

But what made it special?
From bikers point of view...
1.We planned a simple & budget homestay stay but the first 3/4 nights were awesome.
-Full,partly & out of nowhere sponsored accomodation
-comfy, reasonable price & interesting location . (From joined contact. This proved that partnership is the way to go)
-Unexpected 3/4/5 stars hotel treat by Sabah's CM with personal VIP dinner.( Served dinner for 24 of us. 10 GASES plus 14 AYTR.
- Had great dinner.. 3 days in the row makang Kambing... we need it as to counter the low temperature for Mount Kinabalu session.
- Good company from AYTR( including my wife & stuff.
- & many more.

So let starts the say...
Sing it babeh..

Since AYTR had pump in some facilities, so ,we had to do a little de tour of the original route to Sek Men Sains Sabah for some Kementerian Kesihatan alike program. So, we did an aerobic session with the kids. Earlier on, we were told to lead but once we were there, the kids already had their dancing leaders waiting for us only.

20 mins ride from Seapark Hotel to the school. Guided by GPS, we were just in time.
Warm welcoming gesture by the kids & honestly i did feel really welcome & from there, im counting the days to see what interesting things will come next.. hahaha

A few Ice breaking session & aerobic to Sumazau custom( very interesting), then we had our breakfast there. The hostel atmosphere came back to our mind. Macam ni le makanan asrama.. syahdu nye...10,15,20,30, years back of experiences ( to cater the various ages)

We left the school for the next destination while AYTR had to continue with the kids with some Health Presentation By AYTR Health minister.

Then, yes the riding began. about 50 kilos to Mengkabong fisherman village & final destination was Tamparuli. Riders action was on the way. Macam macam ragam.The support car roll played by our one & only Tommy Page was awesome. We stopped for drinks, toilet, pictures,passengers & bla bla. & the day was getting interesting & more interesting as the time goes by & the kilometers built in. At least me, we were counting views, Sabahan girls..& what on earth these Sabahan transfering on the road. ( Kuda, lumbu, seladang, & y the road was congested & all the wonders?? & the serious one,,,,,, y cantiknya awek awek sabah ni... heheheh

Finally we stopped at TAmparuli bridge. Again the day was getting thicker & thicker with new input & sights. Pictures were taken, with various style & models. Local were approached to have small chat & info seeking.The hanging bridge were climbed & abused. Hands were waved to various locals who started to notice our geng Utara existence. Smiles were changed & withdrew without prejudice.
& it was time to go & then, we managed to get a storage place to park our bike.Tamparulli 's Police station. Y & y? because we were a guess of Sabah CM & our accmodation for that night was in Tang Dinasty Hotel In KK where surprisingly our dinner was arranged accordingly. No one know this until we get to KK. I mean the VIP dinner. A special guess room for all 24 guess including AYTR. 2 person per room..... Part 2 to be continued....

So the packing begin at Day-1.
Start packing at 2100
70% done packing at 0400
Major achievement : Had to sew my old army cargo pant .need it for the summit climbing.
I had to reuse whatever I had fro this program to reduce cost as the supply is running low this time around.( after raya)

Then early Day 0: it was raining & yeah.. i called off my involvement for the Bukit Hijau Ride. But Amin came to my house 1/2 hour later for the ride. hmm.. had no choice but to join them.
The ride started at 0830 from KTC & reached Bukit Hijau by 1045. Reached KTC around 1230.

Mix weather ride & great discovery of the new sedap roti canai stall on the way.

Went for Infineon geng Open house & then final packing the bike.

Grab Kulim's GAS team by 1545 & reached PIA by 1700.
My bike's box weighted 18 kilos & my baggage was 20 kilos.hahaha

Reached KKIA by 0000 on Day 1.Settled down at Seapark condomotel at Tanjung Aru.
Unpacked & re assembled the bike.
Start to sleep at 0400.

what a day.

Things I reused: ( thought of buying new but with little financial consideration)
1. I almost throw away this Kenda intermediate tires from the bike i trade earlier on.Planned to buy brand new Maxxis crosmark.it end up great to have them on. No cost incurred.
2. Had to search my winter glove I had stored somewhere & end up messing my house to already a mess house . heheeh. Need them for summit climbing.Cheap Kebun glove was in the mind earlier.Again 0 cost.
3.Torn Army cargo pant.( at the secret part). Had to sew to secure the area for summit climbing. The only long pants with me for the trip.It took me 2 hours to do cross stitch (my way le eheheh).Thought of getting new pants but this one work well for those 4 hours session. 0 cost.

4. Used my old almost breakdown sports running shoes ( Asic) for summit climbing.Was reading many reviews to check on the trail & weather condition for the summit. After enough info, decided to sacrifice this shoes there.Yes, after descending from the peak, The shoes was abandoned at Gunting Lagadan shelter.(70% failure ).Yes, reduced my overall weight to travel down.

Things I had to buy:
1. 2nd unit of Iphone external battery. Mophie pack. RM 318. I need this for tracking purposes. extra 2 made coverage possible for the long day activities.
2.Bikers underwear. ( the one with padding). My love towards 3/4 army cargo pants for riding suits with this combination. 2 units costed me RM140. ( One Stop Cycle)
3.Bike rear carrier pouch.RM 50.

to be continued...Day 1

Assalammualaikum.

Hmm.. spending meaningful with my wife again in East coast.

This Redang Islang.. agaiinnn
the same resort.. aaaggaiiiinn..

Y the same place?? hahah,, for me it is the best beach, the best sea water. ( a friend describe the colour of the nearby sea is as " blue listerine liquid". clear , blue & mesmerized.

That is it.
just that. even though the Redang Mutiara Management is far from good, the place is just wonderful to be there. aaaggaaaiiin..

With geng from KL.. about 35 of us.. were there.
This time i took the bus ride... so less tiring & a bit scary when experiencing the rough ride with those drivers. ( back & forth). they went aggressive at the corner climbing up banjaran Titiwangsa & down . they drove as they were driving a rally car.. damn...
alhamdullilah nothing happen.

Actually it wasnt that bad. just that i was at the back of the bus.. so i felt a bit off.

Hahah.. fun time with the lad. It was maybe one of the highlight for the year. another one is coming in Oct insyaAllah.. Come GA...

Once we went out from the island, we went shopping at Payang. The team decided to eat some durian. I stayed longer on my own after the main group left me there to KL. Later late afternoon, i found out that KT was hosting a "Pertanian day " near the jetty or dataran Shahbandar. There was a fruits stall for eat as much as you can local fruits. ( Dokong, Durian , rambutan, manggis & many more.) Each to pay RM 5.00. hahahah what a day.

Enjoy the pic.

Saturday
Penang Hill Hiking with 5 other loonies.

Using Moon Gate as the starting point, We managed to hike up the Hill for almost 4 hours.
Hahaha Yess,. ( King julian style)

It was tiring but fun.This is my first preparing step for the day.
Went down with Pick up, then heading to Kassim Mustafa for Lunchinner. (equivalent to brunch)
It was fun & definitely will do more as my wife is preparing herself for 4000m ascend.

Watch out for more outdoor events. All will insyaAllah base on biking & climbing.

Sunday.
My mate Hamka the man is leaving Kulim for good. Got a job in Muar. He was dying to climb Kulim Bukit Botak hill.SO we had planned 1 activity for him.
8 of us were there to reconquer the hill & enjoyed the long fun downhill as the big reward.2nd timer from Inokom geng had showed good climbin improvement. We no longer had to wait for them. with a short breather, there were there already. If we planned for the 3rd time, they will get ahead ... who knows..

It was fun day & very nice trip.
Last time we reached the top at 1230-1300,
this time, we reached Cendol stall by 1215.

Anyway, alhadullilah, the journey was a safe one to all & we enjoyed the day.

2010-06-08T00:33:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum..

hmmm...
Ipoh Jamboree?
yeah. im supposed to update what happen in Ipoh. actually about my trip.

At the very last minute, Infineon gang abandoned the ship,,
He he he.. they registered, booked a homestay, planned the trip but againt Allah knows well.
I went with Celestica team ( Faizal & Rizman)
Finally 4 of us were there to share the homestay. ( My client from JB Mr Halim yang beli my Mvic Cross ride) joined us for the day.

We went to Ipoh that saturday afternoon.Reached there by 1600 & retrieved out plate number by 1800.
Then off to Kinta City for Window shoppin & stuff. Hehe awek Ipoh conversation .
Had Burger King for our dinner & walkabout the Ipoh town before we called it a day around 2330.

The next day, we went early & for the first time in my bikin life, i was there up front. hahah.. just want to feel how it is. Pretty funny i must say. Im so not pushing & very not strong to stay infront.
but .. hei.. sapo nak kesah heeheh

Finished the event by 1151 with number 269.Alhamdullilah. Some how I pushed in the begining & cramped my leg by halfway... hahah.. lucky enough to skip the traffic & it was pretty working strategy... but heheh im not fit enough to push like that..

But it was fun.Met my bro in law's nephew, had the best foods setup & was happy with overall event.
Very challenging track with great difficulties offered. Will definitely come back to enjoy the ride with a smaller scale...

This week(4th June ) went back to Ipoh for relative's wedding. Went biking in Ipoh town with my wife for breakfast. We stayed at Excelsior.Then went to KL after the wedding for my nephew 's birthday party in Shah Alam.

Went Biking at Lukut with My lad Azmir. It was fun & easy riding day. Azmir is a very good host. Only the 2 of us were biking. heheh..

Then today, now ( 7th June 2010 at 0015) writing this report in my room. Arrived Kulim at 2235.

So, it is a lovely family weekend.

Thanks to Allah for the nikmah given.

Alhamdulilah.

Another biking weekend. But aha.. repeating.

Assalammualaikum & salam sejahtera.
Question?
1. Y repeat the same thing twice & it was just yesterday?
Answers?
1. Dah booked by frens & depa request nak naik bukit botak tu.( hari sabtu group exploring,hari ahad group family day)
1.2 Aku kena carik fitness nak naik gunung kinabalu dgn geng GA. Hari ahad tu depa pi Gunung Jerai. tak buleh join sebab dah janji ngan geng jahat ni. Sorry GA.
1.3 Any way, bukit botak offers good training ground. climbing for almost 10 km & down the hill with that amount also using other route. seriously . only 1 percent climbing. so bayangkan le penat penat naik bukit dari bawah tempat breakfast.Climbed all the way. berhenti, tolak, berhenti, ngomel & all ,then terus donwhill tanpa henti sampai bawah & flat road to my house or kedai cendol.. tak ke best..
1.4 Sabtu , aku ngan amin nak conquer & carik jalan ke sg kob dari atas tu. Kami sampei tiang letrik paling tinggi kat situ. jln teruk , so 50% angkut basikal & buat aksi ngeri meniti lurah air. Sampai atas, & nak continue , jumpe geng tnb & depa kata dah tak ada jln. tapi depa tunjuk jln nak ke batu putih dari situ. huhuhu next trip. Ooi dah tak larat dah masa tu.. kalu ikut amin & aku.. teruih jugak. tapi gamaknya tak semayang zohor le kalu teruskan.. nasib baik tak teruskan hehehe.sampei romah pukui 1530++. So sabtu hari explore, ahad hari training hehhee.

Suggested to all explorer out there. try this route.. you will enjoy & your limit will be tested.
InsyaAllah.

Exploring weekend

2010-04-27T05:20:00.011+08:00

Assalammualaikum.

Another tiring weekend.
I called this weekend "The Eploring One"

Saturday 24th April 2010,
2nd attempt to the Kulim High Tech Visible Bukit Botak Mission.
Alhamdulillah. Dapek sampei to the peak that we were dream off.

6 People..
Din Poly, Pak Kot, Usop kalahkan ketua mafia, Man Poly,Adik Din En Ali & aku .
Started at 830 after simple breakfast at Pak long.Then meeting the main group at Kulim gang official meeting stall.

Hehe earlier on, decided to meet at Dinaz at 630. It was just a gimmick to see how the explorer would react. I myself knew it was impossible for us to gather at the wee hour like that.But , few people will definitely will do just that.

It took us 1.5 hours to get up there. This time, we when straight . Alhamdulillah no sesat. A team consist of two group of fitness.( actually body weight). The 2nd level of fitness with body weight of >70kg group was really slow & stopped a lot. Not to mention the name.

Finally, with a little push here & there, we were on top of our dream.

It was so much fun & actually we were surprised how easy it is to be up there. Just the mind game & the visible climbing made it harder for us to continue . hmmm..

we were there anyway. My jiran decided not to come up again as he already decided that he had achieved his personal dream. ( Neighborhood dream of bikin) hahahha
Haha.. wait next few weeks,, i'll invite him for the 3rd trip up to the highest peak there.. hahhahh

overal, everything was good. I had several dramatic fall due to shoe clippin.. hehe.. stopped, took off right shoe, but then lean to the left.. kesimpulannya... "body ready to take the impact " .. twice actually.. so my body got minor scratch due to that. hahah

The climbing part was fun.. nice view, really really test your mind.
Downhill was awesome but the surface could be the problem. laluan air everywhere, 45 degree & stuff.. phew.. lereng bukit some more... lotih den...But alhamdullilah.. nothing happen to us.

Met Org tua tua group ( abang Rosli & PGA gang) during aftermath drink session.
We called a day at 1200.

He he . then Din, His bro & myself.. went to SEDIM for freshen up & pekena NASI Ayam Periuk Besar for mini celebration after completing this small dream of jiran jiran bikers..hahahahahahaah it was fun.

Sunday 25th & Monday 26th April 2010.
Land of opportunity.

i went to this 3 in 1 trip. ( 4x4,Campping & biking) if i liked fishing, it would be 4 in 1 trip.

Jlo & myself as the pilot for 2 pick up trucks.
The team consist of 8 ( in the trucks ) 4 with motobikes.

The infineongites gather at Pak long for breakfast & then picking up participants along the way. Major stop was at Petronas Tmn Mutiara. Heading to Selama to pick up more stuff & main foods.

We were invited to join ORG Kampung trip to this abandoned mini hydro station for fishing & camping. 1 of the org kampung is our colleague in IFKM.

around 1100, we started rollin up to the destination. Then the 4x4 kickin. it was a bit challenging for us with little experience. but Alhamdullilah , no major unwanted event. Steep ascend with "killer laluan air". The jalan balak was not maintained anymore as there are no more balaking process i supposed.

Tumbled here & there, we arrived at the destination. We parked the trucks by the road & had to hike for 5 mins to the river bank. it was fun... i used my bike with full camping load to go downhill. single trail.. but of course.. bery the slow...

a group of motocross riders we there to do their stuff but got stucked with a common barrier.. laluan air yg bosar.. they were struggling to cross the gap... but the team work among them beat up the challenges. then there came the org kampun with only normal EX5. 2 of them. They just waited patiently for this motocross gang to complete their stuff. Not even a small worryin expression was out from both of them.
Once the group done crossing with so much effort, these two then went to cross the gap with ease.. oh My god..it shows, experiences & guts set the level of the game. it was pretty embarrassing for the High tech with full equipments group to see these clowns attacking the barrier without even a drop of sweat. haha.. i had the even recorded on..

The camping area is a abandoned mini hydro project. Roof intact fully & partial destroyed wall. good enough for us to camp inside.10m to the water resources & nice water fall) continues supply of water was established using buluh & plastic pipe. ( sourced from the waterfall).

Then the days was just begun to all of us to do our own activities. There were fisherman,bikers & tourist in the house. we had paid the org kampung RM 25 for the food management. We had 2 cooks & 3 & later more fishermen & registered 5 bikers. But later only 3 active bikers were recorded.

The main attraction is Ikan Tengas. jeng jeng jeng.
The org kampung were the one that really managed to fish those .. Jala & stuff.

we had nice foods & great time there. we were well taken care of by the org kampung.

We had Ikan keli goreng & tomyam for first day lunch.
hen by afternoon, many ikan tengas were catched.
At night, we had Ayam panggang, Ikan tengas masak lemak cili api... hohoohhhohohhohoh
the the best meal we ever had.
The next morning, nasi goreng & whatever we had left from yesterday. Then the last meal was nasi with ikan tengas goreng.. another superb fresh food.

those org kampung & the nelayan were the crazy one. they fish anytime they like. at 1300,1600,2100,0200, & bla bla.. ribut ke, petirke, malam ke, gelap ke, dlm hutan ke,, depa nak pi.. depa pi. then that night.. many more of their frens came .. bawak motosikat malam malam through that route...( steep climbing with many lubang lubang tu.) hahaha.. gilos.. memang org kampun tak ada hati punya geng...

We riders had good fun as well.
3 of us (the rest of the registerd bikers were either sibuk tido or fishin) took a nice stroll to the end where i did went with KHT group last time. we rode uphill & with off road roller coster like terrain for almost 6km. passing through this nice waterfall & a damn.It was fun to ride those terrain. We started at 1715 & reached the destination by 1830. then it took only 40% of the time to go back where we were. On the way home most of the time is donwhill. ha ha. so a little suffering during "go in" & then a reward on the way home.( the base camp)

Hah ha

Then we took another ride the next morning. This time, we went down first.meaning an advanced reward & then a little torturing to the base camp.. heheh but it was too short as 1of the riders tak berapa berani nak pigi jauh lagi ( takut nak climbing panjang ) hmmm.. but it was the day.. anyway. fun time & nice fresh air in the morning up the mountain....the sun is still down & the sounds of insects really brighten the day.

Went back to the base camp by 1100 & we did our final berendam time.. huhuh

then lunch.

Then by 1400 we were headin home.. Another challenges... 4x4 descend.. it was raining the day before.. so it will be a bot tricky.. yes it was..
it was slippery & minor excursion with little slide there & there during those descend. luckily we managed to get the trucks on the right course & safely descend with no unwanted event. ALhamdulillah.

It was the best exploring trip. 3/4 in 1 for 2days 1 night.
We reached Kulim by 1530.

Then i went to send some fresh ikan tengas to Kepala Batas & dragged all the passenger in my truck along.. hahha

Nice teh tarik session at Kiosk Bertam before we called it a day by 1830. Alhamdulillah we didnt missed the Asar prayer.

Good trip & recommended to all outdoors lovers & explorer.
& if you live in Kulim.. it was very cheap trip.. heheh

Total cost was RM35.( RM 10 for fuel each)

Adios..

Ahad ( 11th)

Join kayuhan bendang.
1. the most boring ride i ever joined..
y boring......it is flat ride... flat flat flat .... & i hate tarmac & flat... the strategy is .. peddal hard ... that is it.. i hate that.. jalan guna batas bendang.. i love the pasir surface & tanah liat.. hmmm but the view is nice... very nice journey in term of views... love it... but i wont do it again. too flat... almost fall as sleep..

but at the end of the day.. it was a fun ride..i had fun for some reason. meeting frens & get to know more people...

started at 0730 & im done by 1000.
i used my favourite GT with 2.35 tire setup. just to get more friction on the road. for training purposes... what am i training for?? hehehe
so all the way i was using 25th to 27th gear. big 1 up front..... 29th & 28th were too heavy for me with that big fat tires... hehehe. From the every trail info.. my average is 19 km/s .. way too low for a flat ride.. no wonder those people.. were already taking pictures among the others & took my picture also when i arrived. that shows... they were way ahead & had arrived super early. hehehhehe

recovery geng had a problem.. 1 of us had an accident.. a Waja with plate no KBD 9338 hit the guy & smashed his front window. The guy is now in Seberang Jaya Hospital.. i dunno the condition. I went to sent his & his wife bikes to Kepala batas hosp, we end up helpin the wife to do a poliec report.. we were then told to go to kepala batas police station ( traffic) one there. the officer told ud to wait outside after we mentioned our problem.. y.. then we saw that grey waja with smashed windscreen.. & the plate number... hahahahahah the cuplrit is here.... what a day...personally met the driver & had a small discussion with him.. hehe the organizer were there ( a few of them).. hehe they mau taruk itu budak... sebab .. kalu ikut ceritanya.. dia tak berhenti bila marshal tahan & end up langgor rider.... tapi keadaan tidak berapa tegang sgt le masa tu.. alhamdullilah kalu tidak.. pecah sana sini lagi..

teman lari tarus.. malaih nak masuk campur.. the wfe did the police report then we went off.

a bit scary come to think of it. it can happen to any of us rider......... do not trust the crowd.. i mean other parties.. the safety is in your hand first ( of course with a pray to Allah because as a muslim, we know all come from him).. marshal are there or not, when we cross the road.. we make sure all are clear ourselves... y... if something like this happen to us...we put the trust on the marshal. but other road users do not care & still movin.. we then end up kena langgar & Allah knows what is going to be the story....

So , moral of the story... Take safety with your hand ... Pray before the ride for the only one protection. manage our safety.. & trust no one. Help others & enjoy the ride with a good consciousness.

then in the afternoon, we went to visit a family in Penang under "Kulim help to do team"

This was a social visit for "teach to fish " program.
Please refer here for more info on this. Join us if you care.

enjoy...

So, i plan to maintain 2 bikes. A hardtail & a fullsus ( for free ride)
Setup the bike with 2.3 tires. wwowowowow.. i can go downhill like i never gone before.. it was fun.

We went to mount Erskine,( Published already), BUkit rimau reverse & it was awesome down the hill. I felt slow... but it went fast.

Yesterday , i went half of the Mini Jam Poly, wow.. the downhill but i suffered climbin. Damn. big tires & heavier machine + fitness gone... almost chocked up the hill... seriously need to stay fit.
Once after jamboree, rest for 2 weeks... restin is ok.. but the eating part kills me...

So,, all the trainin,, ill used my Heavy fullsus..( soon to be equipped with Weirwolf 2.55 tires) ye yaa.. i just got it from ebay. extra 1 pair left.. anyone????? but not cheap my fren... not cheap.
