Bestnya Kalau Tak Payah Kerja Hari Ni

How's that for the title of today's entry? I wish I could just sit at any cafe with free WIFI and blogging away the whole day. The Dome at KLCC would be the best place. Good place, good view and ehem..... lots of beautiful chicks. Kah kah kahh.....wishful thinking. Quick replies to some of the comments in the earlier entries. Why 08080808 (4x 08?) Wan asked why I wrote four times of '08' instead of three. It's simply because there were eight of us altogether. Four male and four female riders/cyclists. Did we cycle back to KL? How did we get back to KL? CikRampai and AHNI asked this question. NO. We didn't cycle back. The target was to cycle to Kota Bharu. We were ecstatic to reach destination. The journey back may not be as fun anymore!. We took a flight back to KL via Airasia. Tickets were booked months ahead. The bikes (all 8 of them) were dismantled and packed into our support van and the van left for KL on the same evening we reached Kota Bharu. Seronok t...

I'm Back

I'm back, alive and in one piece! Thanks to fellow bloggers for your kind prayers and encouragements. Apologies I could NOT reply to the comments as yet. Of course I have many many more entries on the amazing ride that are lingering in my head but at the moment, I need to catch up with the works that I left at the office. So thank you again guys (I mean those five or six of you).

08080808 The Amazing Ride The Final Leg

We safely arrived at pengkalan chepa at noontime yesterday. The ride from Tanah Merah to pengkalan chepa was more relaxed and fun. May be because everybody knew that we only have to cover about 50 odd kilometers. Yes, after having been cycling for more than one hundred kilometers every day for the last three days, to cover for 50km was a big relieve. We all had roti canai for breakfast before we pushed off to Pasir Mas. It's a flat route with sufficient road shoulder all the way to Pasir Mas. I was given the honour to lead since we were entering my hometown. Stopped at a coffee shop owned by Nasir's cousin not far from the roundabout to the lemal bridge to Kota Bharu. Crossed the bridge and took the old salor road instead of the highway. By then the sun was on top of our heads and most of us were dehydrated and had to top up our water bottles. You would be surprised to see how most of us could gulp the whole 600ml drink in one go.

08080808 The Amazing Ride The Final Leg

Today is the final leg of our amazing ride. Some of us have been talking that we were already so lucky to have made it here so far. Good happy news today someone in our team celebrated his 58th birthday! Abang kamat is the oldest of the group. We are heading to Pasir Mas and will 'geretok lemal' en route to Kota Bharu and to Pengkalan Chepa.
