Saturday Apr 25 Ride outcome

Normal round island ride but abnormally huge turn out. 14 riders including 1 roadie and 2 triathlete turn out for the ride. Many first timers including Michelle, Arlene (from Phil), and 4 riders from Butterworth and Kulim(http://crankymtbriders.blogspot.com/) came over in the wet morning to join the ride. It was a relatively smooth ride to Teluk Bahang before the bunch split into 2 groups with the faster one having a longer ride and also opportunity to climb Bkt Genting using offroad path. Definitely look forward towards future ride together.

What a ride to end Apr 2009

Yesterday is supposed to be enjoyful ride to Tanjung Dawai turnout to be a nightmare of punctures with total 6 recorded stoppages. Due to the huge delay (4 punctures on total on the way there) the group decided to end up in Kuala Muda and another group decided to return to Kulim only to suffer another 2 more punctures on the way back. Total distance covered was only 111km but all returned safely at about 2pm.
MKH suggest that we check our tires regularly and have it check before May 1, 200km ride as a courtesy to fellow riders since it is going to be relatively long ride.

Labour Day - May 1st Road Ride

We will celebrate Labor Day with a Century plus ride (Actual Distance around 200km). Will start from Kulim at 7AM sharp. Route : Kulim Bkt Selambau-Sik -Gulau Baling- Kulim. Mostly rolling terrain with 2 major climbs. Pls be punctual as this is a long trip, again take note that starting time is 7AM sharp not the usual 7.30am from Jabatan Hutan. This will be a controlled/constant speed ride ie ~30kmh all the way with no abrupt accelerations. For those who have not attempted 200km, this will be your chance.
