Rain, Rain and Rain….. even on the Sunday morning, thought that the Sedim ride will be cancelled… Surprisingly, sharp at 6.45am, our Bullet Tan and Ah Hin(King of Tokun) reached White house with full enthustias. So, rain or shine.
Followed up by Speedy Moy, Edmond, Rocket Chin & PC Tang (ride from their home), Yeap, BH Lau & his friend (national badminton player), CK Tan, KK Tang and finally HK Lau and Rocco come over from PG….SiPeTeng also just woke up and thought the trip will be cancelled, who know all the junior are fully equipped and waiting for him to lead… Only Alberto’s team, Gan and Wooi’s team are given excuse to chicken out…...
Yesp, everyone are getting excited and get ready even it was again raining….. We divided into 2 groups as planned with 55km and 38km route to Sedim…. Ride started at about 8.00am with 55km route…. While junior’s team start about 30 min after as waiting for SiPeTeng to brush up….
We all ride steady with avg of 30-35km/h up to Labu Besar leading by PC Tang….., stopped by in almost every main junction to quickly check and ensure everyone are coming…. After Labu Besar, Ah Hin is leading the team till km24 where Bullet Tan and Rocket Chin starting take over with avg speed of 35-40km/h….. Speedy Moy, Rocco, HK, Edmond, PC and Barrack are excited and follow up closely behind them…. Stopped by again in main junction of Kampung Baru Kejai at km-28 waiting for the rest to arrive, as usual Yeap is riding slowly due to water flow on the road and don’t want himself and his unique diamondback to get dirt… Disadvantage to The king (Hin) as there is no hill slope on the way, and he is slightly behind first batch that arrived lead by Bullet/Rocket/Speedy……
Time for Ah Hin to revenge as there was some hill slope (100 - 200m hill slope) after the Bukit Hijau junction to Sedim town…… this time, Rocco, Hin, Rocket and Speedy Moy are leading all the way… Speedy Moy was initially behind, but catching up with avg speed of 40-45km/h… damp fast…. HK, Barrack and PC ride steady behind…. Bullet’s GTS having problem on the break, so keep him slightly behind (time for him to change bike lah)…. But still faster than Edmond (lazy guy for uphill) and Yeap (worry himself get dirt). Finally we arrived in Sg Sedim at about 9.45am…. having couple of pictures and taking about 20 min break, then we started to ride back using the shortest route with ~30km back to KHTP.
Where the Junior team???? Yeap, they finally decided to turn back before reaching the Labu Besar as one of them (BH) is having leg cramp…….
On the way back, we stopped by in Karangan for Chay Moi, however it was too early for the Chay Moi to get read, so end up with enjoyed fry rice, fish and etc…. After the meal, start heading back home, strong wind and rain again when approaching KHTP…… we all finally arrived safely at about 12pm…. Overall the ride is fun, riding from heavy rain, till no rain and back to rain and strong wind again….WE ALL ENJOY IT… Looking forward for upcoming Crank’y events…. Cheers, Crank’y Boleh!!!

Sunday Ride Aug 9th----Penang Round Island Report
I woke up at 4am today. Felt so excited about the Penang round island today. Mr Barrack successfully got 20 riders for today.
The weather was nice since 4am …but darn….. heavy rain at 6:30am…. Too late for Mr Barrack to patah balik, he was in the middle of penang bridge…. We decided to meet at Pisa, get some dim sum and wait for other riders… By 7:15am, most of the riders reached pisa except albert’s gang… rain was still heavy… we took some dim sum and tried our luck to wait stop raining. By 8am, rain stop with god blessing Bullet Tan. He felt so eager and excited to cycle. I knew today it’s goin to be fast and furious…
It proven my assumption was true.. Bullet Tan once again leading… and I took a tougher route from EQ hotel and hoping it could slow down our Bullet Tan a bit… but I thought wrong strategy, it stressed the rest of the rider and me instead…. We was riding >30km/hr before we meet our Roco at tanjung bungah…
We found out that we have 1 new potential…. Ah moy….nop… should be speedy moy, new name ;) he was able to follow Roco and Bullet closely… I think soon or later will threaten their leading position…. So my assumption was 100% correct for cranky…. The bigger size of your body, the faster rider you are…. All big buggers were in the leading position…
We all ride steady along Batu ferringi until…. Ah gan’s tire punctured… we stopped at opposite Rasa Sayang hotel and we actually demonstrated Manager’s culture.. one person fixed the tire… the other riders gave a lot of instruction and did talking at the side…. Ha…. I was enjoying the sea view along batu ferringi so much and Roco met another “tiny” accident near the cornering… I thought he was looking at some hot chick near the beach and I missed all the “good view”…. But in fact it turns out his tire punctured as well… but he managed to control his bike well at corner… 0 injury… We continue to cycle after fixing Robo’s bike and got amused by Edmondo.. we were helping him to find good spot to “pang sai”… haha…. But I thought he was too shy to do that near the river…
After our laksa break at balik pulau, we took the new route to tun sardon… and this new route turn out to be very tough….!@#$$%....
We took couple of picture at tun sardon…. Are you able to notice who was missing from the picture… Bullet Tan… he was too fast and missed all the picture… so key learning for Bullet Tan next time, please go slower than camera man… ;)
