Enjoyful joint MKH-UCI northern ride

About 50 riders turned up for for the northern ride. About 10 riders from Ipoh(UCI) and one from Cameron turned up for the memorable event. All support and plan went smoothly and every one arrived safely as group after 158km of mixed terrain conditions...including kampong road !!! Without great friendly cooperation from all riders and the many support people, not to mention 4 support cars and 2 support motorcycles, the event would be difficult to manage given the nature of ride. MKH organizing committee would like thank all involved during, before and after the event. Hilite of the day : Our lead vehicle support was incredible - he stopped all vehicles at intersections to make way for riders....Unlimited supply of drinks and bananas...Out of town visitors was never alone through the whole ride.. Mike, our only "Mat Salleh" was the champion puller for the event, never short of energy...and so on. Low light, one small puncture just before Kg Masjid....Pity that P2K (KL) riders could join us for the fun ride....maybe next time.
