nexus pcc ride 2007

it was exciting, fun, tiring (of course) and more exhaustion! haha.. well to be honest the whole ride was great. getting your butt up at 0430hrs preparing the stuff you wanna to bring . not that i didn't prepare anything the day before even though i should, but i was in kuala lipis that saturday nite so was kinda rushing back to pj.

its me! :D

the turn out was quite huge..not sure what time was then before it started the event but i reckon it was about 0800hrs. alot of people was at the starting point as usual and the official was given out instructions. some familiar faces i'd seen at the starting point. alot of the bikers are quite excited and ready to go! once they flag us off, it was a quite exciting atmosphere around us. the pcc officials did a fantastic job by stopping the traffics before we enter the offroad track!

some guys pumping up already

traffic jam ahead!

the first loop was quite smooth besides the traffic jam (bring back memories frm last year pcc) heading towards the 1st uphill. at the peak there is a smooth downhill heading towards a small stream. but that's where i had my 1st puncture. couldn't test my downhill skill (dammed!). eventually took me 5 mins to fixed my puncture.

25mins later (still jam)

well, i had my second puncture at loop 2. now it's the back tyre that puncture. i got a puncture before the loop 2 insane climb! bad luck for me i'd been thinking. what else can go wrong la! one of the hill in loop 2 was a killer! didn't expect that...who does?! manage to power up 3/4 of the way up and the rest of the way had to push...pushhh..but at the end result you get a good eagle eye view of the scenery. and heck, you still see people from below the hill are pushing up. good luck!

my last pic at the peak of loop 2 hill..insane climb!

well, managed to collect 3 stickers which i had completed 3/4 loops. which is not a bad record for myself. for those who did 4 loops , i salute you! for me i had to take the chicken route at loop 3 and it was crazy (15-18km for chicken route?). was dead tiring and have to ride that long journey back! uugghhh..and also there's a bit of technical single track as well. I thought i was going to take the highway back all the way on tarmac! hahaha...but even that i do really enjoy it.

anyway this year ride was the smoothest ride i ever had compared to last year. most of the trail are ride able and technical difficulties are on par with my skill (tak malu!). i'm not complaining! and for the pcc members they did a marvelous job handling this wonderful event of the year! thanks guys!
