1st day raya haji, the initial plan was to go to sungai sedim.. just 2 riders. cause the rest was.. friggin bz.
But late last nite before, 2 riders suddenly called up and say theyre available, so, the plan to sedim was shelved, cuz, the other 2 riders is unable to go so far and so late..
Hence, we decided to go Pokok Sena hill riding again..
Started at 7.30 meeting in Simpang kuala for breakfast.. had to wait for one riders.. who have to take late breakfast, then have to poo poo in the middle of the way to our destination.. ended up we started our ride at 9+.
Anyway, here's the pics..
3 riders up front.. me bz being the cameraman again..
The usual suspects, Guan the 4k biker.
This dude dint came with us on our last trip here.. so, we dint expect what was going to come for him later on...anyway he's riding a GT Richochet 2001/02 model, nice bike but a bit on the wrong size on him 18"
Lovely weather ahead in the valley.
More nice weather.. only thing missing is the mist.
Oops.. bike breakdown on the starting line..
Hao's Fuji had a FD problem when it couldnt downshift to the middle ring... a little help from Guan 4k there and the problem is solved. Anyway, can u believe it, the last time we were here.. his FUJI Nevada 4.0 is brand spanking new.. now, the front fork is having problems, the rear sprocket is having a huge problem, feels like the sprocket is coming loose from the rear hub or the other way around.. anyway, credit on the dude for being able to cycle with these problems on the bike.
Nice downhill track?
Here you'll see FUJI coming down.. too bad I couldn't get a decent fast/blur shot.
Here's me.. coming down.. but.. everythings blur..
See this pic? Whole lot of problems.. we only managed to go up 2 hills because of this dude here.. first one, halfway through, he complained about wanting to pitam. So, we had to go down.. second hill attempt, which is on the above pics, he's got stomach ache problems.. had to poo in the trees behind him.. luckily I have tissues in my pouch. So, ended up.. after the 2 attempts of going uphill, we stopped and just explored the valley.. which was quite fun.
Me bike... resting.
Now resting with a mate.
Aksi aksi, Mr. Guan 4k
See this pic? the background? after.. exploring the valley for awhile.. we almost got lost in another mini pocket valley cause we could see the main valley anymore. So, on our way back, me, guan4k and fuji guy decided to try out our racing skills.. "LOOPS" haha.. its was really fun.. a 1 almost 2km loop around a hill.. not muchh climbing.. a lot of steep down hill.. and back.. so.. off we went....
First dude to test the loop, Mr. Fuji timed at 8 minutes plus
Second rider, Guan 4k crossing the line at 6minute plus
Last rider, me, about 1 or 2 seconds behind Guan 4k..
Learned one thing about this.. do not rest too long, as after a prolong period of waiting for Fuji and Guan 4k to finish their loops, somehow.. all my energy was spent.. or went to sleep. with it.. just couldn't climb... at all.. when its my turn to go..
And here's the dude who kept our time.. with his SE handphone stopwatch.. hehe.. he was "spent" up in the hills anyway..
