Penang Jamboree Ride 2006

first of all i have to apologise for not displaying the jamboree event/ride pics. had no choice cause the camera was way to big to fit into my hydration bag. dun worry i'll try to blog my way about the event ere.

went to penang with my 2 mates which kindly enough to give me morale support and encouragement (ahem!). although they did not participate the event but hopefully enough to poison their mind next time to join me. muahahaha! anyway stop at tapah town and did lunch over there. food was great and cheeeeaaaapppppp!!!

shang yee pin

this definitely eel (wong sin)

rather not to say this

kai lan?

ahhua after some hrs sleeping in the car

ahlam yamseng!

err..it suppose to be a MTB event

the trip to penang frm kl took me about 7 hours, took a detour to sg.siput to look for my grandma who was sick. reach to penang around 2000hrs and head straight to youth park for the jamboree registration. after all that head down to tanjung bungah hotel and check-in around 2115hrs. went to gurney drive to "makan-makan" all kind of stuff. just to fill my stomach for the ride on sunday.

McDon...McTuckey?!

fried stuff

cost me RM9

the jamboree ride 2006 started around 0800hrs (sunday) at the youth park. as usual the starting line was jam pack with riders. so as usual stay back at the line and wait for everyone to flag off first. met a pcc rider there james bak and his wife christina was in the jamboree ride as well. had been a while did not contact them already. anyway back to the jamboree event, people started in high spirit riding from the youth park to "kek lok si". all tarmac ride about 8-10km. stage 1-2 was all uphill and downhill and uphill and downhill (phew!). but i do like the downhill at those stages and it was awesome. it was exhausting too and they (organiser) did not make it easy for us.

one of the hill for MTB trail

stage 3-4 was almost the same, uphill and downhill lots of mud at some places. so many tree roots and big rocks which makes even harder for the ride. did slip and fell down when i was trying to climb my way up the tree roots with my bike. don't know what hit me but i think it must be the exhausting part that struck me at that point and lost my balance. a knock on my right knee did a wake call, boy it hurts. luckly nothing damage took me a couple of mins to re-organise myself.

on the way to stage 5 coming down from the "switchback" trail was totally awesome! imagine ya going downhill at 30-35 km/h and nothing could stop you from coming down. all i got are my tired hands pressing the brakes. did spend around good 15-20mins there before heading towards the tarmac via route to the youth park for stage no 5. another monstrous hill to climb at the last checkpoint. but it was worth it and you couldn't imagine how it feels when you got your sticker no 5 "YES! I SURVIVED!"..woohoo!!

the KOTRT did a great job of organising such a big event and handle it pretty well. Kudos to them and appreciate their hard work to make this a successful event.

see you next year!
