ECC wins on goodies this year so far. This value for money goodies brought back by Comel does not disappoint me.
But this beauty on the bike make me wish I was there.

Aku just realised that aku semakin sunburn selepas balik dari Hadyai KPLR. Lepas kayuh hari pertama sejauh lebih 140km, matahari membakar tengkuk aku sehingga mengelupas. Color aku memang dah naturally sunburn, sekarang ni sunburn X2.
Selalunya kalau main golf, ada yang pakai lotion untuk sun block. Time kayuh aku tak nampak sorang pun yang pakai sebarang lotion.
Ada tak siapa-siapa yang pakai lotion time kayuh?

This is my first time riding around the Penang Island. I was so excited and so prepared to complete within 5 hours limit.
Overall, the ride was easy and fast. The 2 peaks were conquered easily. The view is breathtaking.
For RM50 – Nice sport T-shirt and good quality jersey and lunch.
2 water stations. 1 of the station at Sungai Rusa supplied diluted-warm-energy-drink (mixed with water) in paper cup.
No lucky draw but got some show on stage (not my taste). So after finish, collect packed lunch and packed everything and go. Reached house at 12.40pm. Better lunch at home – Ikan terubuk bakar.
No picture taken today. Kelam kabut. They said there were 5 pro photographer available to take pictures at strategic places (but none found at that place)
Summary distance: 79.30km
Total time: 3 hours 19minutes
Calories: 3402
Total Ascent: 484mClick image for bigger picture

All the sudden, a lot of blogspot sites showing this error message – bX-59cppwg
It is a major setback since one of my project developed using blogspot. We have no control when this kind of things happened.
What if our site just disappear one day?
Time to get your own domain and hosting!

Baru-baru ini aku ada terima jemputan jamuan raya di taman aku. Masa jemputan adalah lepas asar.
Aku tak dapat menghadirkan diri sebab kayuhan KPLR ke Hadyai.
Jadi, isteri aku pun pergi bersama anak-anak selepas asar tersebut. Begitu juga dengan penduduk taman yang lain.
Makanan OK dan banyak tapi yang peliknya kambing golek (2 ekor), satey, dan lain-lain makanan bakar tak siap lagi.
Selepas tu baru kami tahu yang special tu untuk panggilan pada pukul 7.30 malam.
Masa malam baru nampak banyak kereta2 yang besar2 muncul dan kebanyakkannya bukan Islam. Yang menghairankan, kaum bukan islam di taman juga dipanggil waktu malam.
Persoalannya, haprak sangatkah penduduk-penduduk Islam taman aku sehingga makanan yang dihidangkanpun yang 2nd class punya? Besarkah sangat bangsa-bangsa asing yang dijemput tu? Tak layak sangatkah kami untuk bergaul dan menikmati makanan yang sama dengan orang lain?
Nasib baik aku tak pi. Kalau tidak sure aku kata depan-depan!
Kita kena sentiasa ingat yang rezeki adalah kurniaan Allah SWT. Kita juga kena ingat limpahan rezeki yang banyak juga merupakan ujian dari Allah SWT supaya kita bijak menguruskannya dan tidak lupa mengingatiNya.

Bukan sekadar pecah lemak tapi bakar lemak.
Brief Report on Day 1.
Start pada pukul 7.30 pagi. Tapi semua riders tak kalut macam jamboree biasa sebab kali ni tak dak hadiah. Jadi organiser penat panggil peserta masa nak flag off.
25km pertama ok. Bila start climbing lepas kaki bukit, terus tewas. Lepas Wang Kelian, proses pembakaran lemak bermula.
Jalan ok tapi kepansan yang tak tertahan. Asyik berhenti saja. 4.30 baru sampai hotel.
Anyway TQ organiser. RM50 – value for money event

Organiser bergelut panggil peserta untuk flag off.
Berkumpul di simpang depan Sekolah Putra
Pak Cik kanan sekali tu boleh climbing ka?
Unscheduled pit stop at Kaki Bukit. Free 100+ and roti for riders supplied by Bicycle Shop (Tak tau nama)
Climbing selepas Kaki Bukit menuju ke Wang Kelian banyak menewaskan peserta.
Border. Riders with border pass and passport encountered no problem. Group passport – kena masuk in a group.
Wang Kelian masih sunyi di pagi hari
Self-Pit-Stop yang ke berapa pun tak tau. Banyak sangat.
Malam di depan hotel Florida sebelum keluar cari makan. Tapi ada yang cari adik.

Terlebih dahulu aku ingin mengucapkan terimakasih kepada LonTruth dan Wan Blitz kerana membantu membawa jersey Kedah Jamboree ke BM Mountainbike Carnival untuk collection pada 11 Oct 2009. Terimakasih juga kerana tunggu hingga habis majlis di dalam khemah utama.
Yang sedihnya hanya Zul Marvelous saja yang datang collect untuk 3 orang dari geng dia. Yang lain ada juga yang nak collect tapi mungkin tak jadi datang BM atau pun terlampau letih selepas kayuh. Sekarang tinggal 10 jersey yang belum diambil. Tolong tengok list, mungkin anda boleh tolong deliver.
Ada soalan kenapa tak pos saja jersey tu?
Di sebabkan Kedah Jamboree dikelolakan ‘From Riders to Riders’, kita tidak mengenakan bayaran tambahan kepada late entry. Di samping itu ianya sepatutnya ditutup selepas 500 penyertaan, tetapi atas rayuan kita menerima penyertaan tambahan.
Next collection – Kayuhan Pecah Lemak Raya – 17 Oct 09

Initially, I wanted to cancel this ride because I was not feeling very well. But on second thought, I should not miss all the excitement and fun and chances of meeting new and old friends.
Traveled with Nasir Motorcross on 6 am. Our goodies were taken care of by Wan Blitz.
The Mengkuang Dam was breathtaking. The ride was fun and enjoyable. The climbing was not as tough as Nibung Tebal. Enough signage provided to guide riders.
A few things that organiser should improve:
1. Should provide 100+ or other energy drinks
2. Short of supply of water at cp4
3. More marshals towards the end and less at the beginning especially during the dangerous single trek at the end.
4. Lastly, cut the T-Shirt and reduce the fee to RM50 next time!Some facts from my garmin:
Distance: 48km
Start time: 7.56am | Finish time: 1pm
Time taken: 5hrs
Total ascent/descent: 645 meter
Calories: 2339
Placing: 393 (Did not push hard this time)Click gps image for bigger picture. We just going around and around
Other than then first 2 climbs, the rest not really tough.
Starting point.
If someone else took my picture, sure blur one!
