Jamboree > NTMTBA10

Nibong Tebal Mountain Bike Adventure 2010

NTMTBA10 was my first Jamboree since involve of MTB world. With main objective to gain as much experience as well as a benchmark to rank myself. I don’t expect much, even if I could complete the trail is a victory.  To get any medal and being in first 700 slightly a chance and far away from top 100 of gold medallists. All these thing being in my head all the way from Klang to Nibong Tebal. How it’s gonna be ?!! Huh!!!


Enjoy ride, be safe

Saturday July 31

The bag has ready since last nite. Pack with minimal clothing plus toiletries and some medic supplies, in case of emergency. The Fuji was ready since last week. After full service and crank set change due to bibic failure. The bike was take out for test ride and training to Alam Budiman Trail and Kajang > Sungai Tangsi Offroad. The test passed with somewhat satisfied and just need minimal adjustment of braking system. The rear brake still not at 100% reliability. It doesn’t fully grip the disc and stop the tyre. Need a reinforcement of front brake to control the speed and manoeuvre.

Around 12 pm all riders has ready at Lan’s Bike Shop. Wak Rosni, Bro Wahid, Bro Usop and I were going with Bro Farid’s Pergio. It is a comfort and huge van. All bikes were arranged at the back. The Veterans were on board with all the bags. Farid was a pilot and me as a sleeping co pilot at the cockpit.

Let’s rock and roll.

We’ve arrived at Nibong Tebal at 6 pm. Check in to the homestay then we went to USM for goodies collection and attendant confirmation. 1634 was my plat number with 4 check point stickers to collect along the trail tomorrow. Later we went back to the town for ration supply and having light dinner. We headed to the house to rest and get ready for the NTMTBA10. Yeahhh!!!

Double stories house with 4 rooms and 3 baths
