Sunday Ride Jan 17th----Bukit Lima Kongsi+CP1

12 riders total participated on the ride. The 1st route was same as last week. So, nothing new. Everyone went through smoothly after last week 1st ride. Mark was brilliantly cycled through the single track uphill at 110kg. He was the top performer of the day. After bukit kongsi, we went on to tackle the CP1(NT Jamboree trail) follow by the usual morning b/f at the malay store.

After b/f. The group was divided as the fast faster started to breakaway but finally everyone reached OZE safely ~1140am

It was not a good day for Tua Chiak, he had flated tyre 3 times for the ride. Barrack had chain broken as well. But, with Chief mechainic on site, no problem at all. Thanks Alberto.

Sunday Ride---10th Jan

Beautiful sunday morning. 7.00am We have 10 crank'y ready for exploration ride 3 Cks+ CK's brother, Alberto, Teo, Barrack, Tua Chiak, Bullet and Yeap. but we can't move as we still mising Wei Min. He was late. We were kind this time.(crank'y, pls be on time). Around 7.10am, we were leaving the way to Lima Kongsi. The speed was steady at 20+kmh and one weird thing happend where we have 2 riders detour and didn't make a right hand turn to Lima Kongsi. 2 riders go straight toward Tasek. We managed to bring back Ck's brother but another CK, too bad. He was on his own as he rided to far and we can't get him back.(riders, pls occasionally look behind to ensure u are with the group). We met with Halim and we go ahead with our exploration ride.

The trail was not far from Halim's house. we entered the trail right beside the school. It was not smooth as we were looking around for the correct route. After some trial, we managed to locate the LP club paper mark and with that, we managed to ride through the trail and came up a small industrial estate at relau.

The trail is single track and some area is pretty steep. So, it was challening but ridable. Downhill was not bad too. Only some portion u may need to carry but majority were good.

We finished the trail ~10am and headed for b/fast and fast ride back to OZE.

Sunday Ride 3rd Jan---Pengkalan Hulu

高乌3日讯)
今日我们决定来个轻松的路程。应Cranky高乌区部主任阿康的邀请,一大清早6.30am, Crankies 一行十五人-Albert,Halim,Teoh,Wei,Shing,Keong,Lim,Wooi,Shyan,Keat,CK,Steven,Yeap,还有还有,这次我们来了两个少年Crankies- Jacky & Ghee Kheng,带着兴奋与期待的心情,浩浩荡荡的从新邦安拔与居林出发。

经过一个小时半的车程, 大家终于到达了高乌, 喜见阿康,阿良, little John 和今天的领队- En.Yusri 已等候多时。 转眼间, 大家也都把脚车装好了,还等什么? 出发啰!

经过高乌的街道, 我们进入小山丘, 沿着山路,迎面而来的是一片开发中的园地,接着是一片片青葱的橡胶园和油棕园。此时天气阴凉多云, 我们还担心会下雨呢...





大家在兴奋的心情下,呼着新鲜无比的空气朝着康庄且完好的小泥路来到了最高峰, 景色一望无际,一群人一边车大炮一边等待着我们的队花。 当大家都准备好时, 我们开始享受一波又一波的下斜岭,犹如Jamboree般,真刺激! 沿途给我们加油的, 还有胶工与开芭工人.







大约十时, 我们来到此行第二休息点,打昔村(暹人与华人居多), 阿康款待大家100号,谢谢谢谢.


之后我们以十五分钟的路程来到Gua Gendang,一个开放给大众作团队设立的世外桃园。此处有一座千年水帘洞,洞深800公尺,En.Yusri 说此洞保留完整与原始面貌,空气清凉,各类形状的钟乳石遍佈石洞中。既然未经加工的保留原始面貌,探险者必须涉水与攀爬,及须佩带照明灯方可。所以Crankies 们望洞兴叹,只能过其洞而不入,下回吧...







此刻,大家的五脏庙开始咕噜咕噜叫,好了,我们就往最后一站起航吧!轻松的经过一些马来甘榜与园丘,再经过西马第二大军营,我们终于来到我们的终点 - 高乌观音庙。今日是高乌观音庙年度哪督公酬神日,一阵阵的咖哩香味已扑鼻而来,实在是振奋人心!抵达时,酬神中,约三十分钟的休息与期待后,餐宴终于开始了,在村民热情的招待下,香喷喷的咖哩羊肉与鸡肉配上热腾腾的白米饭...哗..简直是完美搭配,人间美食,Crankies们都狼吞虎咽,添了又再添,吃得比哪督公还多,哇....赞!多谢哪督公.... 总理说此行甚愉,应纳入常年活动,将会把它带入内阁会议探讨,并寻求通过。







此程全长二十六公里,路程轻松愉快,凉风徐徐,阳光温和,实为完美。难得可贵的是“大只”没有破风!

Penang Fellowship Ride 1st Jan

It is history by itself. For the 1st time ever, cyclist were allowed to cycle through Penang bridge. Even better is we have huge support from crank'y riders on new year day.It was the attention from the media and camera crews with the striking jersey and the coverage of members. From youth to veteran, from featherweight to super heavyweight.

The ride was good and fun. It was around 76km with 2 major stop. The ride started on time and with good coordination from the organiser. The marhsall did a good job on coordinating the ride. Kudos.

Below are some pics taken during the ride.
