Pagi jam 06.30 Yusof dah sampai rumah aku "warm the bell" - Military Time. Bravo Zulu Bro. Sebelum flag off Sof dah bunyi loceng ice cream dia. . . aku dok relak depan umah. Hujan renyai2 ON Bro moh kita. Mula kayuh jam 6.40 belum pun sampai 5 minit tayar belakang basikal Yusof dah bocor ha ha ha awal2 lagi dah breakdown.

Sepanjang ride kami tak banyak cakap cuma banyak spin and spin . . . kadang2 teloq rasa kebas fasal basah hujan renyai2, "dia rasa tak selesa" dgn cuaca sejuk. Selalunya kalau masih terasa kebas itu petanda baik - "super aktif" ha ha ha ! Tak perlu nak tongkat ali . . .kayuh ajer !

Sepanjang ride Yusof dok "cucuk" ajer belakang aku . . . aku nak 'tarik' pun tak terdaya. Sekali sekali tuu "jump' juga terutama semasa naik bukit. 12 km climb dr simpang menghala ke Baling menyakitkan. . . nampak jer dekat signboard BALING 10 km tapi climb tak abeh2 lagii. . .! Begitulah mahal nyer 'breakfast' kat Baling ni. Tapi kawe tak serik ! kawe datang lagi !

Aku letih nak g tidor . . .recover balik energy. T/hari aku cuma makan buah kurma tak tahu berapa biji aku bedal (main sumbat jer) Buah betik besar sebelah habeh gak. . .air tea 'o' limau yg Mek aku buat Jug besar pun habeh d belasah . . . burpppp ! nak tidor bangun baru makan nasi ! Tak selera nak makan lagi, fasal terlalu kenyang "breakfast kat Baling" adehhhhh !

Moral : Dengan Everage speed 25 km, tak banyak perubahan. Kayuhan aku masih lemah. Rasa tak layak untuk pergi ride Satun > Pak Bara dgn TRM . . . mmmm nak g tidor dulu !

Hidup Beskal !

SP MTB Jamboree 2008 - Check Of List For Every Basher !

Ladies & gentlemen (just to share), check & preparation list & pre-ride checklist.

Must ensure ur' bike is in good & safe working condition. Wear helmet & gloves at all times. No Helmet, No Ride. In addition to these, I also recommend that you wear some form of cycling glasses to stop mud getting in your eyes. As the ride will last several hours, strongly advise you to bring fluids (water, energy drinks etc) to carry on the bike & something to eat b4 reaching 'feeding point'. You will also need to bring a spare inner tube & repair kit.

You need a specific purpose bicycle.

Hardtail MTBFull Suspension MTB

Tire selection : the right set of tire.

• Fork and shock pressure : Check for the right PSI and pump it the nite before. Do some trial cycling to get the right pressure.

• Braking Power : Check your brake pad. If you think adding some mineral oil or DOT 4 please do so. Its gonna be slippery this coming august. No brake means you might end up on the ground.

• Drivetrain : Go for a service if necessary. Shifting is important. We don't want any chain hopping while shifting ...... avoid mechanical breakdown !.
  

Helmet is always a MUST.

make sure the size fits your head.

MTB / Studded Shoe

Attention! Try to avoid flat sole shoe with no grip.

Suitable Attire

Some prefer cycling jerseys, some others might have some other preferrence. Whatever it is make sure your ride is not affected by it.

b. Cycling shorts. / padded shorts.

(No picture available )

c. Gloves

(No picture available)

5. Hydration Pack.

We don't want anybody to pass out due to dehydration or starvation.

It can also place mini first aid kit, repairing tools, energy bars, camera, and etc.

6. Basic First Aid kits

- this is a must !

Repairing Tools

some Allen keys, spanner, cutter, and etc.

It is a Jamboree not a Race !

- remember not to forget all the thing listed. Jamboree is not about who reaches the finish line first. It is about meeting new friends, sharing new experiences, and etc.

The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.

Cycling Shoes & Pedal System

Cycling shoes are special shoes designed to attach to the bikes pedals via a clip-in system. Attaching shoes to the pedals improves the efficiency of the pedal stroke, by allowing the cyclist to pull on the upstroke, as efficiently as they push on the downstroke, resulting in a constant application of force through the entire 360 degree pedal rotation.
