What could go wrong, have gone wrong. Lets start with the injuries, i have scratches and cut from falls from face to toe. I had a tumble in Loop 1 which causes my Spectacles to cut my cheek, I had a major crack in my crown jewels (read nuts) trying to bunny hop in early loop2. I had a major tumble in Loop 2 which causes me to have a bruised ribs, which will take me of biking for a month. I had to walk back nearly 4 kilometer with pain because I could no longer slouch over the handle bar. Thanks to those that help me with my bike nearing Loop2.
Ironically, the day before in FRIM, i found that the bike handled extremely well with the new FOX shocks and I was chuckling to myself watching Adeline trying to handle the simple FRIM trails. Now she has the last laugh having to wait 25 minutes for me at Checkpoint 2. I think I had it coming though and my biggest failure was not listening to Bernard's advice in changing the rear tires as my rear was slipping uncontrollably in the single track.
Anyways, the day started well with a congregation of more then 800 riders. This should have made into the Malaysian World Records Book though.
And the customary "Mari Tolak Basikal" and jam into the first hill climb, a single track.
Its no surprise that they call this hill climb the "Bitch Hill", don't ask me why?
I am hanging up my bike for the month and rest. Won't be biking nor excercising for this month though.

Yap it was a tough ride. I got the 3rd sticker and went for the chicken loop. But the chicken loop also was tough especially when your body running low on fuel. Pure torture for the body and bike!
Mac, don't stop riding for a long time, your body probably became fitter so just take advantage of that and leap to new level of fitness.
take care dude, and get well soon..
maran: Have to stop temporary because the pain on my left ribs is quite unbearable, nursing it now.

bro, i was lucky enuff to get all the stickers without the scratches and leech bytes. i wonder where i got that fuel to go on and on, from 1 loop to another and hit CP4 at 3:00pm. probably the bragging right is the motivational factor..
thank you for getting me into this sport.
rider#682:hehehe i fell flat on my face on stage4 right after the dh at the river. my frnt wheel sunk into the soft mud and Luckily it was soft mud my face was not scratched tho except for a taste of the mud.
I managed to finished at 230pm but no luck on the lucky draw tho :-(
Dino: Dont mention it, as long as u enjoy and b healthy
Rider #682: Well, at least u made it back in good time, 2:30 finishing all loops is fast.
