B4 The Ride

From Manjung Cycling Club @ MCT

Papa Danish, "Kak Ros" and the gang from Penang

Kali ke -3 kayuhan laluan ke Banjaran Titiwangsa dan kali ke -4 ke Banding. Setiap tahun sejak balik ke Sg Petani August 2007 . . . laluan Kupang Gerik Highway, Banding, Banjaran Titiwangsa, Felda Nenering dan Betong, Thailand jadi 'favourite route'. Disini juga terdapat 160km+ 'killer loop'. . . dua kali ride route ini, dua kali aku 'kong' he he he !

Kayuhan 'Last Kopek B4 Ramadhan II' jarak 136km adalah xtvt tahun ke-2. Kayuhan bermula dari R & R Perak, Gerik.

First stage - 20km+ 'rolling' . . . dan climbs bermula selepas 20km. Jarak 66km+ climbing ini sekadar 'biasa sahaja' bagi 'good rider' . . . utk beginner memang 'menyakitkan'. Aims adalah utk mengajak rakan2 'beginners' merasa 'nikmat' berbasikal/mendaki Banjaran Banding & Titiwangsa. . . 'nikmat & kepuasan' mendaki yg tidak boleh dibeli dgn wang ringgit he he he.

Sepanjang kayuhan ke Puncak Banjaran Banding dan Titiwangsa aku cuma berhenti sekali utk buang 'air kecil' di Jeti Merin Banding. Meneruskan kayuhan terus ke Puncak Titiwangsa. Climbs yg tak henti-henti . . . and the last 10km ke puncak memang 'kaw-kaw'.

Pengalaman yg lepas banyak membantu kayuhan kali ini. Relaxed dan buat kayuhan mengikut 'effort pace' yg kita mampu . . . tak perlu 'henjut' tak tentu hala. Adakala mampu laju dan adakala kelajuan menurun mengikut 'terrain'. Bertenaga kayuhan kali ini kerana mendapat rentak kayuhan yg baik hingga ke puncak. Selesa dan mudah 'tackle long climbs'.

Pencapain peribad terbaik 'mendaki' tanpa henti hingga ke puncak. Air dua botol mampu bertahan hingga ke puncak. Tahun lepas dgn cuaca panas 'berbotol=botol' aku 'langgah' he he he ! Mungkin dgn sedikit latihan membantu pendakian kali ini. Memang 'enjoy' ..... :-)

Kalau tak ada minat atau 'passion' memang 'meluat' dgn 'long climbs' tak habis-habis . . . terutama kayuhan balik dari Banding-Gerik. . . . 10km climbs pertama selepas Petronas Banding - Gerik ramai 'yg tersungkur'. . . dan ada yg bergayut pada lori kerana 'letih' mendaki he he he ! (insiden ini di rakam dr jarak jauh . . . . sure you will feel sorry for yourself). Antara rakan2 yg turut serta . . .:

4 wheel and 2 wheel move ur body & soul

Tarikh : 26th - 29th May 2011


Lokasi : Pos Kemar, Hulu Perak Malaysia


Peserta : JUPEN, Kedah


Kolaborasi : 4x4 Utara Off Road Club

Route : Kulim - K/Kangsar - Sg Siput - Felda Lasah - Perkampungan Felda Perlop - Perkampungan orang Asli Pos Piah - Pos Kemar, Hulu Perak Malaysia

Baru seminggu baik dari 'demam' dah bersama rakan2 4x4 Utara Off Road Club utk explorasi ke Pos Kemar, Hulu Perak . Hampir 50 peserta dgn 15 buah kenderaan 4x4 meredah belantara ke destinasi. Satu pengalaman baru apabila jam 3.30 pagi masih bergerak di dalam hutan belantara yg becak.

Biasanya ~ there will be no movement after dark. Dengan 'panca indera' yg terhad, banyak pengalaman baru yg diperolehi, banyak 'outdoor' skills yg boleh apply ketika membuat pergerakan pada waktu malam, banyak 'deria' yg perlu sensitif dgn 'suasana alam' yg gelap gelita . . . 'kecilnya manusia' bila berada di rimba yg luas ini. Disini lah, 'man, machine, body and soul' work together to survive.

Bunyi deruman enjin 4x4 pastinya mengganggu 'penghuni hutan belantara' . . . but, we have no choice. Terpaksa bergerak mencari destinasi yg 'tersasar'. Semuanya memberi impak & pengajaran serta pengalaman yg cukup mahal utk di kenang dan kongsi bersama.

Lokasi dan situasi baru yang berbeza . . . sentiasa menguji 'skills' yg kita miliki.

Gambar di atas adalah antara rakan peserta yg turut serta . . . kumpulan yg cukup CERIA. Sebelum perjalanan hinggalah di akhir program ini dijalan gurau senda mereka benar2 menghilang 'stress' dan rasa letih. So far, aku bagi 5 Bintang kpd Timb. Pengarah JUPEN Kedah, Penolong Pengarah JUPEN Kedah, peserta2 JUPEN Kedah dan rakan 4x4 Utara Off Road Club members yg menyertai explorasi ini. You all are very gentlemen, very professional and the most important things u can accept 'challenges' and enjoy d xtvt. Kudos !

The 'boss' enjoy his breakfast wz his 'special glass' . . .

2nd Boss ~ assisting his teammates open coconut wz his 'by bare hand' . . . .

While others @ teammates 'make fire' from steel & stone in Survival Skills. Look easy & 'kacang jer nii' . . . but, it's not easy and 'kacang jer nii' if u never try.
Morale: Knowledge, Skill and Patience . . . . :-)


~ It's not a journey . . . it's the challenge ~
Route : Pos Piah to Pos Kemar Hulu Perak, approx 56km 'pure offroad'.
Fun, motivated program, great experience, test ur driving skills where
'man, machine, body & soul' merge to 'survive' :-)

UPCOMING RIDE
Jelajah Langkawi
Date : 24/25th Jun 2011
See you There

Quote : "If you find the paces of group rides are either too fast or too slow for you, then volunteer to lead a ride at the pace you enjoy. You're sure to find a group of cyclists who would love to join you. . ."

Ride with Safety and Courtesy :

• Watch For Traffic Coming From The Rear - Since those in front cannot see traffic approaching from the rear, it is the responsibility of the riders in back to inform the others by saying "Car back". This warns leading riders to maintain position and the potential of a passing car. Use discretion on the car back warning: on busy roads with continuous passing traffic, the call out of car back tends to lose it’s significance. Use the warning "Car up" on narrow road to warn following riders of approaching traffic.

• Leave A Gap for Cars - When riding up hills or on narrow roads where you are impeding faster traffic, leave a gap for cars between every three or four bicycles. This way motorist can take advantage of shorter passing intervals and eventually move piecemeal around the entire group.

• Wait At Turns - If the group becomes at all separated, even by a few dozen meters, someone should wait at the turn until the next rider arrives at the intersection, and so on until all riders have made the turn.

• Move Off the Road When You Stop - Whether you are stopping because of mechanical problems or to regroup with your companions, move well off the road so you don't interfere with traffic. It is usually best for the lead rider to pull forward in the stopping area and for other riders to pull in behind the rider in front of them. As a courtesy, during regroups the last cyclist in controls when the group will restart.

• Riding Two Abreast - Ride single file or double file as appropriate to the roadway and traffic conditions and where allowed by law. Even where riding double is legal, set a good example and be an ambassador for cycling. Courtesy dictates that you single up when cars are trying to pass you if the lane is wide enough for them to safely do so. . . . Unquote"

"if u want others to respect you, you've to respect others first . . ."
