REPEAT REUNION RIDE AT FRIM ON 7/7/2012

Led by bro Zack aka Demak to entertain our fellow riders from Kemaman. This ride is just a warm up ride prior to Jamboree JW for the next day Sunday at Gombak. A total of 6 riders including me came from Kemaman and the other 3 rider were my old buddy riders - Jawa, Zack and Jayen. Zack is known lately used to do solo ride at FRIM and my intention was to accompany his routine ride with MTB cyclists from Kemaman. The timing just perfect to introduce the trail in FRIM and elsewhere in Klang Valley whenever they have chance outstation to KL. Ride started at 9am with Rover trail, followed with Steroid Hill and a big climb at Helipad. Our guest riders seen happy with the trail especially the surrounding, trees canopy and even upon seeing “joggers”. PCP would be the next venue for those riders from Kemaman and they are actually would like to be called team H66(Heavy 66) or berat nanang in T’ganu dialect

Left to right: Yong, Jawa, Pok Ding, Bulat, Jayen, me, rudi, zack and pok kechek.

JASIN IS REAL JAMBOREE

Over 2,000 riders took part for the 2nd year event held in IPD Jasin. Myself and few others drove 400km from Kemaman to have a 42km rideable trail and certainly among the best event organized so far. Sufficient of direction signs, paper trails, water station and even “LIKE” fb sign along the trail. Traffic control was absolutely awesome from the start line; early riders were separated from barrier until at the end, good idea using their own car as a barrier. No chances of late rider to slot in between riders. Police traffics were available at most entry or exit on the course to control traffic to ensure safety of riders crossing road. Not to forget Bukit Langsat, a big climb for this jamboree, pushing your MTB is the best idea here before your lung busted and a long descent after getting our 1st CP sticker. Well done, keep it up good work organizer. A combined event between public and police force proved to be a success.
