'Ketua Rombongan' ramly SP @ LT @ KGBTeruk aku kali ini kena 'hamun' dgn kawan2 he he he !
Sengaja aku tak buat ride details mengenai laluan ini . . . takut nanti tak ada siapa yg nak ikut pulak. Route nii memang laa 'best giler' . . . dari SP ke Gerik Ajer dah 103km . . . lepas tuu standby lagi utk 'kerah tenaga' 30km+ 'panjat' ke Banding pulak . . . he he he melecek telor !
p/s thanks to Shaharin KOTRT, sebelum ini telah pun advice aku utk "ikut route jln lama SP > Baling > Klian Intan > Gerik > Banding . . . "kalu u ikut h/way Baling Gerik teruk sikit LT" . . . tapi sahaja aku ingin cuba 'backtrack' laluan sukar ini . . . maaf lah pada kekawan semua . . . tapi best kan route nii ?
. . . roslan mobil aka diesel power . . .He really focus on riding & hammer the hilly route 'bit by bit' to accomplish d' mission ! Goal/Finishing . . . is No. 1 now ! Not many riders having this kinds of riding mentality, cyclemania or outstanding riding attitude . . . and this Big Guy wz 110kg proved, he can do it !
Pedaling in pains "to finish the ride' . . . no joke, Banjaran Titiwangsa 'highly demand ur' enthusiasm . . . .' and he 'demonstrate' well ! Upon reaching Belum Rainforest Resort, Banding Island. . . he deserved 'the pride'. Full of satisfactions . . . completed the ride (approx) 11 hrs including "4 hrs stopping time". Excited & proud to have met 'own personal challenge', though 'wounded' on d' way back from Grik to SP . . .

Sepanjang ride SP > Gerik > Banding dok 'meratus' (merungut) tak abeh2 . . . tapi bila ride balik Banding > SP moral dah naik balik . . . menemani zaidi dari Gerik Ke SP . . . kalau aku tinggalkan , saheh 'nangis & menyumpah' aku berbakul-bakul !
Kat Kupang kami kena hujan lebat terpaksa berhenti kat Kg Padang Kupang . . . hampir 1 jam+. . . hujan reda sedikit kami henjut juga dlm hujan hingga ke kuala ketil . . . eeeee sejuk telor beb !
mdNohLaguna
Kasihan ada, lucu pun ada . . . . at last 'tumbang' jugak. Tidak mampu teruskan kayuhan dari Gerik Ke SP . . . ngeri tengok lereng Banjaran Titiwangsa sepanjang Gerik ke SP. Dua tiga kali merayu utk naik kereta tapi kami tak layan dia . . . . ha ha ha !
MdNohLaguna 'wounded on d' way back Gerik to SP" First time endurance ride . . . . seem 'unhappy' wz the hilly route. Nearly give up (2 times) on d' way Baling to Gerik and from Gerik to Banding. Grumbles all the way . . . 'gila kayuh macam ni" .
We keep on pushing (torture) him to maximum . . ., its not the Bike . . . ! Blame the manufacturer . . ha ha ha ! Apology !
Take it EZi . . . maaf kerana 'mendesak' anda untuk turut serta dlm kayuhan ini. Tahniah juga kerana mampu bertahan dan sampai ke Banding lewat petang (walau pun dlm keadaan 'sengsara' . . . ampunnnnn !
Mungkin perlu 'setting' basikal i.e. saddle, handle bar . . . bla bla bla ! Apa2 pun Md Noh, jgn ler serik utk kayuh lagi . . .

He was "badly injured . . . " Pertama kali juga buat endurance . . . hanya mampu bertahan SP > Baling > Gerik sejauh 103km sahaja. . . mengalami kesakitan 'melampau' pada bahagian lutut. Sampai jer kat R & R Batu 2 Gerik, MatLaguna sudah hilang selera makan. . . dan menahan sakit.
Selepas 'paksa' makan MatLaguna baring sekejap z z z z z selama 1 jam (2 jam rehat). Bangun dari tidor, dia sudah tidak mampu meneruskan kayuhan/mendaki 35km ke Banding . . . ! Tak apa Bro, cuba lagi lain kali.

tahniah bro..kerana complete the ride.Salute sama brader.. boleh jadi role model ni.. jauh giler.. cycle.. duration brapa lama bro..? and brapa kali stop..
Riezal yg pernah kita jumpa dan ride dekat trek lori balak di Jitra tu ker ? Ok Riezal, kami mula kayuh dr Cinta Sayang SP jam 7.35 am dan last rider sampai di Banding jam 7.00 mlm . . 12 jam including stopping berkali2 utk memberi peluang pd rakan2 'recover their energy'. Ada rider yg menahan kesakitan cramps dr Baling ke gerik tapi masih tekad meneruskan kayuhan hingga ke Banding. . . Di R & R Gerik seperti pics yg paparkan . . terpaksa biarkan rakan2 melelapkan mata hampir 1 jam 15 mins. Kat situ saja stopping 2 jam 15 mins. Keseluruhan stopping time i rasa lebih drpd 4 jam. No problem, asalkan semua riders & kawan2 mahu meneruskan cabaran mendaki & completed d ride . . . Their Pride is my pride too . . . jika semua riders sama level, i rasa boleh completed less than that. . . Overall if was a fun ride !
Seronoknya kalau dapat join trip yang macam ni. So is that any idea ke nak buat trip macam ni lagi.
