Jamboree > Kayuhan Kuale Bandar DiRaja 2010

Saturday October 30 

It’s been a long break since fasting month and a month of raya after that, then later continue with another month of kenduri-kendara of my relatives and friends .. The Tahoe completely left inside the back room .. The cat eye turn to sleep mode since when, I don’t know .. There were couple times I’m out for warming up to Klang and Port Klang .. But that was far away than so call training when Jamboree Kuale is around the corner ..

Few days before the jamboree I bought the bike to Lan’s Bike Shop to do some minor adjustments .. The cassette was out during Nibong Tebal Jamboree and one of the wheels was slice badly. Both cases need immediate attention if I wanna ride in peace of mind state ..

On the early plan, there were supposed to be 4 of Rotor X usual suspects. Wak Rosni, Bro Wahid, Bro Farid and me. At the end Bro Farid had to cancel his participation due to some personal matters .. And left 3 of us wondering how we gonna go to Kuala Kangsar. Bro Farid was the person who arrange transportation .. So, I’ve to carry out this logistic part ..

Thanks to Bro Akhter, sponsoring our transportation 1.8 Nabira, Chevrolet.

As promised I’ve pick up Bro Wahid at 2pm and Wak Rosni after that. The KayuhBeb Geng had invited us to join their convoy to Kuala Kangsar via PLUS Highway. But I have better idea and route to follow, the costal road from Klang to Teluk Intan. So the journey begin.

Passing by Malay College Kuala Kangsar


First 10km is on road all the way to Kati. I took this opportunity to warming up and get use to the gears and bike. Group by group had cut over me along the way. I'll keep maintaining the speed and state of my ride. No.1 is not mine and them. What is more important to me is to climb steady, downhill smoothly and ride to finish line safe and sound.

Dry out after almost 20km offroad. No sign of water station

CP2 is just after long downhill. Thanks God 

Only empty bottle left over. What da heck ?!! 

After this point I'm split from Wak Rosni as both my legs had been attack with cramp due to dehydration .. I'm slowing down, try to balance from the deed and need and limit of both legs .. I don't want to be stranded alone in the middle of nowhere waiting for rescue to pick me out. I wanna climb all the hills, jump all the ramps and enjoy every downhills the trail has serves. I know that I'm mentally prepared and my competition spirit at the highest level. Even though I was lack of training sessions for this jamboree but inside me,  I believed, I could push my body to the limit if not beyond. 

The moment of 'Crampiang'!!! 

Riverview Homestay, neat and tidy


Story telling and laughing session


The incredible epic journey

The journey back was another story of berpoye-poye. Drive lazily to Klang via PLUS. We were in and out the local town along the way. Stop at Tapah for prayer and dinner. We headed to Sungkai via Federation Route. Since every one of us has suffered the muscle pain and cramp, we decided to stop at Hulu Tamu for natural hot bath. It is good for detoxing hence relaxing the mind. At least it would prevent the cramp tonight while we sleep and ease the muscle pain next morning. The 3 hours drive supposed had drag to 6 hours. We finally arrived Klang at 2 am early in the morning.  

After all, we have enjoy every moment we had this 2 days.

Enjoy ride, be safe.
