Aku dan Tandop diajak untuk buat trekking dan ambil gambar bagi Jomboree Kulim yang akan berlangsung pada 8 Mac 2009.

Aku pi Kulim dengan Tandop dari Alor Setar. Bertolak hari sabtu 10 malam. Terus ke rumah Mizi. TQ for Maggi goreng for supper.

Besok pagi, Ahad berkumpul depan Kulim Business Centre untuk start ride. Me, , Mizi, Razi, Mokthar, Tandop and Kulim Riders tried the actual trek for the first time. Pak Abu ikut pakai motor untuk tunjuk jalan yang dia sendiri pun ingat-ingat lupa.

Trek banyak up and down. Kalau tengok elevation graf, naik turun yang paling banyak compare dengan yang aku plot trek2 yang sebelumnya. Boleh layan downhill tapi kena watch out uneven terrain. Laluan tak panas cuma a few km yang last. Yang menarik ialah terpaksa cross 2 sungai. Tempat check point boleh mandi air terjun.

The first 10km on road to break away. Then all of road except 5km towards the end.

99% rideable. Beginners definitely have to short cut. Intermediate can finish in 4+ hours.

Details:

Distance: 56km (15 on road, 41 offroad)
Time Started: 7.54am
Time Taken: 7h 17m (banyak mencari2 trek)
Date: 25 Jan 2009
Total Ascent: 922m
Total Descent: 920m
Calories: 2840

A few unconfirmed facts (rumours)

Starting point. A lot of parking space. Camp area. Toilet and water.

The first cimbing

Melalui dusun orang. Penganjur dah minta izin ke belum?

Check point after long downhill. Boleh mandi kalau nak.

Weekend was so hectic. A lot of activities. Only to realise that I have a few chinese friends to wish Happy CNY.

So, happy CNY to:
Lim Soon Heng – School
Chan Sai Kuen – School
Lee Sying Yaw – Liverpool Poly
Foo Chun Wah – School
MTB riders who know me.
Friends in Lowyat, PhotoMalaysia, Lelong.
Anyone who sold and bought things form me on the net.
and all chinese visitors

This is the lens I send to Canon Service Centre for cleaning. A lot of dust and fungus at rear mirror . The lens is old and I’m not its original owner. Bought second hand 2 years ago. I called canon and they quoted me RM70-RM100 for that service.

I checked with my friend (full- time photographer) and he said It is cheap. I courier to them and after 4 days I got it back, dustless and fungusless. The mirror like new. And it is free.

Any other service centre can beat that?

This out-of this-world standard of service is unthinkable. I hate Canon for making me not even glance at Nikon my friends are using.

This standard of service me me wonder. I talked to my regular Camera Shop and it astonished them too. They were charged for everything.

Maybe it was the CNY spirit.

The pictures below – before the service. You can see the dust and fungus.

No words just gps and elevation at this moment for  Kulim Hi-Tech MTB Jamboree trail test.

The elevation

Some pictures of the trek. Bear in mind that I have to chase Ravi and taking pictures at the same time. So I cannot take pictures as much as I like.

Organiser still looking for solution for this type of blockage

The infamous climb. A must for riders.

Logging area

Jamboree should be organised here. Climbing and downhill to the max! More to explore. Lengthen the route and everyone will come.
