Day 1 (31/12/09)
The ride was began at 0730 hours sharp at Auto-City, Juru. Before that, registration of the rider is a must in order to get the number plate and checked in for day 1 ride which cover the route from Juru-Kulim-Bkt. Merah-Bagan Serai and ruturned to Juru.
At beginning, everything seems to be fine. The ride was not that fast on the front group (apporixmately 38km/hr). Well, may be the ride was still long way to go, I guess. However, I wasn't that lucky on that day. Still having punctured on my rear wheel after 15km ride due to hitting on the railway rail. Having a spare tube, I try to fix the wheel. It was not quite far away, sweeper car was not that far behind. It is so shameful to me that I have to repair my wheel in the car (4 by 4 ATV). I was told that they will not let me go down to ride until the next stop where it will be in Mahang I think so. This really turned me down.
After 2 km in the sweeper car, there were three riders who left behind. He wanted to take all those three but couldn't make it due limited space in the car. Furthermore, the sweeper lorry which supposed to follow him was not there. In my little heart, this is a chance for me to roll my bike on the road again. I offered myself to go to ride again. Pheww.. He allowed me to do so.. Lucky me..
Now my work is to catch the peloton in front me. I knew they are very far away now. Riding at 35 km/hr isn't that easy for me.. My bike is not really suited to do time trialling (the bike isn't suited for me anyway). But what to do, still need to catch them. Following the direction given on the junctions, I managed to overtake rider one by one.
Riding in a fast lane for about 1 and 20 minutes I came to Petronas in Mahang I guess so. There the journey made a pit stop. Drinking water supply and bananas are in a lump. I was quite shock to this due to the recent Taiping Jamboree didn't spend so much for this. This was a great ride.
Then the journey continue to Bukit Merah.
Reached Bukit Merah at almost 1100 hour, the journey was not bad. Great scenery to enjoy upon reaching the place. Same as previous stop, bananas, drinking water, and Suntonic drink were supplied. Journey was then heading back to Juru using Bagan Serai road.
On the way back, we stop again at Petronas to have drinks and food. At about 1330, we reached Juru.
Day 2 (01/01/10)
On the second day of the ride, the journey was heading from Juru – Penang Bridge – Relau – Teluk Bahang – Batu Ferringgi and lastly end at Youth Park.
Same as previous day, the ride begin at 0730 sharp. Up to the bridge, head wind was quite strong. However riding in the pace, it was not a problem at all. It was very excited for me. I was there about a month ago during my participating for PBIM Full Marathon run. The ride was stop at Relau peak.
The ride was just nice. Having downhill after the peak, riding uphill at Teluk Bahang, my luck was bad again. This time, my front wheel punctured. More than that, tyre and inner tube were get snake bite. Damn, this is really bad. No spare tube this time. Real bad luck. I can't do anything just that have to wait for sweeper car another time.
Not quite long waiting, there was rider, Ah Beng if I am not mistaken, come to an aid. He gave me a spare tube. More than that, he fixed the tyre for me. I was damn lucky enough to meet this guy man.. Really thanks to this guy...
Upon reaching Youth Park, there was stop at Ayer Hitam Dam. I didn't take long time to rest at the place. Moreover, route Youth Park is climbing route. Futhermore, I can not ride fast due to broken tyre that incurred.
Finally, in Youth Park. After claiming the goodies and having lunch over there, I have to ride back to Juru with few MTB friends that we always met in Jmaboree.
Overall, this event was superb. Food, drinks they supplied are far more than enough. Hope to get this kind of ride again in the next time around.
