TEDUNG/COBRA

Year end 2011 and new year 2012

2011-12-30T03:42:00.000-08:00

Hello guys! It's quite awhile I disappeared from cycling world.
It's almost 2 years , I think so.. And I've gain back my weight, same as before I started to know this sport. Damn!
Most of the time, I've been wandering, why in the world I stop cycling? Haha...

In two more days, we ll be celebrating new year. And for this year, I ll make a comeback.
I missed my old days with my friends, competing in jamboree and other mtb activities. Haha...
I ve scheduled my training for 2012, and get prepare for the upcoming jamboree and race next year.
I'm hoping to see all of my friends in the upcoming event, especially in UTARA area... :D

So, now, what I've to do is to keep fit. And training as hard as I can.
. Seriously, I've lost my fitness. I tried cycle about 15km, and I'm finished! Haha..pity me!

anyway, to those who know me, wish me luck in my " 2012 comeback",...
And for those who dont have any idea who the he'll I am?... let's be friends... Hehehe...

Regards

Raining season??? we are MUD lover..!! lets RIDE!!

2011-03-20T08:36:00.000-07:00

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia... the view from my apartment.. heavy rain, cannot even see the tall building... it has been almost one hour of heavy rain.. so.. its time for me to pack my stuff and have fun at Putrajaya Challenge Park..hoping, there will be a lot of MUDDDdddd... LumpuQ noo

helll yeahh...... mud is everywhere.....!!! very difficult to control bike.. have to maintain the traction...

this is only the beginning...ive just enter one loop hole.. my bike is full of mud after i ve completed one loop... even my face is covered with mud

here,,at the top of PCP.. no mud... full of rocks..and its not raining anymore...

ok enough with the low quality pictures...

Some tips for riding in raining season/muddy track

1) getting the right clothes...

i ve bring along my waterproof jacket and my sunglass... for me sunglas is very important, cause when you fell down.. you dont want the mud to mess with ur eyes, dont you??

2)mosquitoes / nyamuk!!

pls,.. bring along ur insect repellent... cause,i almost being eaten by the crazy-blood-thirsty mosquito... so, be prepared, surely there will be war between u and the blood sucker!

3) keep ur mouth shut....

or else, u eat the mud!.. and it taste good.. seriously!

4)traction...

this is important..! i fell down 3 times.. cause my bike slide and drift... so, u know the trail are slippery.. when u going dowh hill, instead of grabbing ur brakes and the wheel stop turning, try to tap ur brake, so that ur wheel is spinning but, slowly, and u dont lost ur traction...

(tarik-lepas-tarik-lepas) ... haa cool??

5) slow down...

it is different experience riding in dry trail and muddy trail... dont over do ur self...

6)Have Fun!!!

most of all,, have fun my friends..!!! dont afraid to get dirty..!!

when u ride in muddy trail.., automatically, ur skills improved .. such as handling, braking, choosing line, body movement.. and etc... if you can ride in slippery trail.... im sure, u can even FLY on the dry trail!!

The end

just to refresh our memory---->

Kulim Night Ride - the muddiest jamboree ever.. :)

Merisik specialized bikes

Stumjumper 2011 with brain tech

Lots of 2011 bikes,frames and accessories ....
Fall in love with the new specialized trail bike " stump jumper 2011"...
With brain technology that automatically control the rear suspension of the bike.. How cool was that??
Just ride and let the brain do his job...

Annuar Manan The king of Ganzhou

Specialized road bike is also very affordable.. Can get the entry level at rm 3000.... And you can use the same brand as annuar manan... Hehe....

I also fell in love with the downhill bike "the bighit"... Mmg dah lama nak main DH nie... But the price is too high.... Anyway, I found the price is also affordable for the bighit bike.... If I ve the extra money, for sure I'll buy it and start my DH activity....

Big Hit III

Emm.... Maybe it's time to change from TREK to other brand for my second bike.... And I definitely will choose SPECIALIZED..for now...

Putrajaya Challenge Park... im lovin' it..

2011-01-11T09:48:00.000-08:00

CAMELBACK bottle.. same age as my TREK... reached one year already..

here.. you can see the putrajaya road... and PICC..

well-maintain trail

9/1/11

PcP

What i like most at PCP is the trail that push your ability and strength to finish the short loop , yet very tiring..

i admire the technical part of the trail.. such as sharp switchback, short sharp climb, and the adrenaline part, the technical downhill; i called it "psychological loop"...

the psychological loop play with your nerve and mind.. the downhill is tricky.. yet it is rideable.. and most of the part, you can cycle down,BUT... it depend on your psychological thinking... if you believe you can, you certainly can follow the downhill part... it depend on you!!...

the trail is very short.. but dont underestimate it... beleive me.. u will get exhausted once you finish all the loop... thats only... i think 6 KM...

i havent ride yet at kiara or frim... and i cant compare them.. but from the viewpoint of my colleague, Haji (shah-alam) and Zim(shah-alam) (we ve met at PCP).. Kiara is more technicall then PCP... guess i ve to find it out by myself soon or later...

im waiting for my KEDAHian friends to come down here and ride at pcp together.. insyaAllah...

Mountain Bike Hash 19 Dis at Semenyih

2010-12-19T06:33:00.001-08:00

went to semenyih to join mountain bike hash for the second time...

the weather was great...!

the track is okay..

good for riders who have lost their fitness...

anyway.. ive gain more confident to use clipless pedal..!!

eventough i fell .. but i feel very confident to use it even in offroad..

how can?

yerrpp!! the secret is this... we lost our confident to use clipless pedal bcoz it is hard to unclip it when theres an emergency..

thus, to minimize these factor, to make it easier to unclip... ive put some grease at the pedal..

and.. waalaaaa....!!! easy to unclip.. more confident...!!

it works for me.. and maybe it works for you too!

dont give up touse clipless pedal..! hehe

Tedung mtb ke semenyih

tgk tu,.. walaupun aku jatuh ..tp kaki masih xuncclip...hahaha bergaya habis siialll

2010-12-19T00:31:00.000-08:00

Kuala Lumpur hash at Lenggeng

offroad with clipless pedal..
i fell down, hard enough till my tire punctured...
like i said.. i dont know why im not very comfortable using the clipless pedal...
still trying to get use to it..

anyway.. the offroad is slippery.. cause of heavy rain..
after ride for hours.. suddenly i notice that, im going in the same direction.. doing a loop.. im lost...

but then, i ve found the main road.. and cycle to the place where i park my car hahaha.. shit man

anyway... enjoy the pictures...

tayar pancit..jatuh sebab lupa unclip kasut

kaki tercucuk ape ntah waktu jatuh... nasib baik sikit je...

tedung mtb with other rider

Lelaki hensem jatuh...

2010-12-07T02:11:00.000-08:00

Gambar ini tiada kaitan dgn sebrang cerita/tulisan post ini.. harap maklum

tajuk post tu:lelaki hensem?? jgn marah.. hidup kene ceria sikit..

bak kata musuh batman, "why so serious??"

aku mengalami sindrom jatuh basikal ala2 badut...

masuk offroad je jatuh..

downhill jatuh... yg paling teruk skali.. climb hill pun jatuh...

hahahahaa..

banyak da parut2 yg mengghairahkan kat badan aku nie...

byk dah darah pahlawan yg menitis ke bumi..

huuuhhh... shit man... is it because of my pedal?? yeahh.. !

still very hard to unclip it ... xsempat nak bukak.. jatuh...

Maybe i ve to put some lubricant... biaQ licin sket noo....

or ..worst case... i go back to flat pedal...

what a waste of investment... sigh!

Extreme Sport Foundation

2010-11-24T06:33:00.000-08:00

Regarding the above matter, im in the process to set up a society for extreme sport, focus on donation to the orphan or people in need. there are lots of foundation/charity overseas, but not in MAlaysia. as an initiative to this matter, a foundation will be set up.

this society will sell Mountain bike stuff and accessories, pictures at Jamboree or races and lots of other investment to generate money for donateion purposes. the money will be donated 100% to the focus group (orphan/people in need)

This society make no profit at all..; (in this world)... we are seacrhing for suitable extreme sport people to be the member.. of course VOLUNTEER...

this matter is still in progress as it takes time to register under Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan MAlaysia..

right now, the society will consist of all extreme sport, such as wall climbing, mountain bike,road bike, ATV, downhill and ect... however, for the first year, we will focus on MTB , as this sport is exploding nowadays.

any update- coming soon...
feel free to support this charity work.!

Improve Cadence... ? clipless pedal

2010-09-25T03:12:00.001-07:00

its been raining since this afternoon.. ive been waiting to ride my MTB..
huuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.....
i even went to PCP.. hope the rain will stop.. but not my luck.. cannot fight nature...

im eager to ride.. not because im fat... haha.. because i ve a new stuff on my bike.. new for me.. lots of you guys have been wearing it since ages.. since i ve no money to buy it, have to wait until now. hahaha

bought at din cycle klang... i tried it infront of the shop.. and suddenly, ive fell down like nangka buruk... forget to unclip it... then, ride within klang town... about 30 minutes... obviously, i can feel the different between the clip and flat pedal... but need to practice more...

lots of choices for the clipless pedal... xpedo, shimano, and etc. ive survey at KL and other shops.. but i think the most affordable one is shimano XT compare to others.

and the shoe,..even at KL,the stock of MTB shoe, is limited... can find SIDI, northwave, specialized, time.. but very limited stock, style, size and price... if you are willing to send your money, you can try SIDI.. but its not for me.. to expensive and i dont need the "carbon thing" for a shoe.

how to improve pedalling???

without the clipless pedal,we only push the pedal in Phase A and B... but with the clipless pedal, we push the pedal in phase A and b... once the pedal reached the bottom of its travel, we slightly lift up the pedal, for the phase C and D... hence theere is a significant amount of power transfer and improve pedalling EFFECIENCY

quote from bikeradar:

Good pedallers have been shown to also pull backwards and very slightly upwards at the back-half of the pedal stroke. From this, two essentials to pedalling become apparent. Firstly, you really need clipless pedals to get effective back and upward pulling (especially uphill out of the saddle), and secondly and most importantly you need to be sitting in the right place to pedal “like a pro”.

Acong Vs PCP

2010-09-21T04:29:00.000-07:00

its been awhile, i havent go to PCP. as im busy working and sleeping at weekend. however, the same routine change today, as i woke up aerly, and pack all my weapon and machine, went straight to the batle field..

as i reached the ground zero at 10:30. prepare my gears, and dash forword to the batle ground.

seems, lots of soldiers had already arrived before me. some of them have already retreat.

the silent did not last long, as im already start to penetrate the batle field. the war has already started. war with whom? between me and Putrajaya Chalengge Park.

it seems, my diet at the base camp is totally wrong. i ve been served with lemang and ketupat last week, due to the Hari Raya Celebration. it makes my body weak, and mentally weak too.!

i try to focus on the war, push myself againts the obstacle, and yes, ive conquer some of the obstacle, and win the war.

reach at the ground zero about 1200. some of the soldier has alreeady reward themselve with 100plus. and now, its my turn to be rewarded..

at ground zero, i met with pujmac team, Bro Asry and the gangs, and some of my other friend.. talking about MTB stuffs, as always....

its good to be back in the MTB Community... retreat from ground zero at 0100..

re-opening of Tedung MTB

2010-09-17T01:28:00.000-07:00

about 1 month, my blog has been closed, today, it is officially open again.

it takes about i months to appeal to the blogger unit to release my blog. as i think i has been closed due to the pornographic comment by the John Doe...

After a hard and diffucult process, finally my appeal has been review..
Funny!, by the time the help unit told me , that my blog has been closed not because of the comments or spam, it has been closed because i did not log into my gmail account for more than 3 months..
haa!! i forgot that i have 2 email account, and i rarely log into the email account link to this blog.. .

so stupid.. and so nyanyuk!!
haha.. but i am more than happy, after my blog has been activated again....
just a simple step, log into my gmail account,, and there you go...

in this new post,it is not too late for me to wish Selamat Hari raya to all my firends.. and keep on mountain biking...

my new project is to climb Genting Highland... so feel free to keep in touch with me..

Regards

and now.. im staying at Kuala Lumpur...

but ..think about the safety.. KL= bad driver..
the cost of public transport to my office is about.... :

parking lrt : rm 300
Lrt pergi balik: 340

total for a day: 640.. shit! @#$!%
in a week: rm 32.00
monthly: 128..

if i can ride my bike.. fuuhh... ill save alot.. and can buy a ful-sus.. hehe

anyway.. the good thing is.. the environment at my office is very good! okay. at second floor.. there a gym and shower room... so.. i can ride at morning.. and have a shower at second floor before i start working.. so.. great rite? but still thinking of the "bad drive" at KL.. huurmm.
the distance is about 11km from my home.. so its a reasonanble distance to cycle to work.. considering ,,.they provide a shower room for the staff..

so.. enuff bout that.., lets talk about MTBing!
last week.. i ve penetrate PCP hehe.. im shock! the trail was very natural.. very technical.. and the specific word to describe is "WOW!" ...

first time went there.. and its very challenggin.. sadly, i cant finish the trail.. cause i ve to go to some other place... next week.. im going to finish it.. .. the trail divided into 4 dicipline--

gree: easy
Blue:moderate
Red: pro
black: downhill

ok.. gtg... ill write later.. have some work to do... ape lagi?? tgk bola la. portugal Vs n.korea!!! going for korea!!!!

Welcome Back to Kuala Terengganu (good and bad)

2010-05-24T04:38:00.000-07:00

after i ved domicile at Kedah for 7 years.. now it is time for me to go back to my hometown..Kuala terengganu. the place that is surrounded by sea. every where , we can see water, beaches, coconut tress and others beautiful scenery,not to mention, lots of beautiful girls... :p

actually my hometown is at KEMAMAN..

and my grandmas house is at K.TERENGGANU...

between the two places.. the distance is about 100++km ..and a twho hours drive.. so it is quite far..

from kedah, i ve took the GERIK road... so i arrive at my grnadmas house first... i stayed there for 3 days.. and i cycled everyday...

GOOD NEWS!!

surprisingly... lots of MTB riders there... i just cycled a long the white sandy beaches.. and then.. ive bump into anothers MTB riders... just like that...! cool eh?

so.. the next day,,.. i search for MTB shop around terenggganu.. and i found one old..small.. and not so many stuff thre.. but okay to get some spare parts... i bought arm warmer and spare tube.. according to the boss there.. at terengganu.. there are around 70 MTB riders... and there went offroad at friday morning... im shocked!.. so many people here.... but of course.. like other places to.. not all can cycle at one time.. that only the total number of riders here..

sadly.. i only stayed at k.terengganu for 3 days.. and i did not get the opportunity to cycled with the group at friday.. cause ill be back to KEMAMAN on that day...

anyway..for the 3 days i stayed there... ive climb the BUKIT BESAR... cross the DUYONG BRIDGE... and cycle along the beaches such as BATU BUROK, KUALA IBAI, and DUYONG..

bukit besar is quite high!! i can say that, it is a big brother of TNC hill at Kedah.. maybe trible the high of TNC hill...

you can see the picture.. very beautifull.. for those of you that did not come to terengganu yet... rugi laa.... very beautiful scenery. just like at Australia-United kingdom..i mean.. the beaches.. :p

there.. you can see.. BUKIT BESAR...! ive climb to the top!

this is the view from bukit besar.. i ve not reach the top of the hill yet!

this is the place where the sign of " Allah Peliharalah Terengganu" situated.. at night.. the light is turn on... and you can see the sign from far!

okay.. this is the top of Bukit Besar.. from my tiredness... i ve estimated that bukit besat is triple of fourth times the height of TNC hill..

okay.. this is pantai BATU BUROK... so beautiful!!! right?

there you can see lots of people wth their family... caution! it is not safe to swim here.. strong current..and very deeeeeppppp.....

and that my hunny bunny bike at the beatiful sandy beaches..!

and there you go! beautiful mosque... surrounded by sea... that is masjid kristal... at night .. the mosque will be glowing... cause of its construction material---> crystal

my TREK with the beautiful mosque and 7 other replica of mosques around the world

BAD NEWS

okay..

thats the beautiful story of KUALA TERENAGGNU

after staying there for 3days.. i continue my journey to my hometown.. KEMAMAN.. for 2hours drive.. you can reach there...

this is the sad story of my hometown-> there is no hill..no mountain.. no steep terrain... no offroad trail...only FLAT ROAD.. with lots of LORRIES and CARS.... No Mountain bike riders here... no place to cycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kemaman is a very small town.. that is surrounded by sea... of course.. there are small hills back then.. but all of it have been "tarah" to make house and building.. so now.. i dont know where to cycle... and i cant even cycle at the road.. lots of lorry and cars....

maybe ill might stayed at my grandma house.. at least there, i can cimb bukit besar evry day... instead of staying at kemaman.. with n place to cycle...

but,.. tomorrow ill search again for a suitable place to ride... maybe today.. it is not my lucky day.. maybe tomorrow.. who knows... hopefully....

tajuk posting nie..buat aku gelak hehehe..

sebenarnya, suka dalam duka....

masa dah semakin singkat...

aku pun dah xlama kat bahagian utara nie...

hari demi hari.. gambaran "Kedah Dalam Kenangan" semakin kuat muncul...

sayang nak tinggalkan negeri yg aku dah bermastautin selama 7 tahun nie.. tp malangnye..aku masih xpandai cakap kedah.. perkataan yg aku boleh sebut::

ayaQ,baguih noo..lapaQ.. baguih dok ada... tu jee.. hehehe

campur perkataan maki hamun sikit2.... hihi

masa mmg dah semakin suntuk... last2 nie..rase mcm nak kayuh kat semua trek yg ada kat kedah nie.. tp... aku tau ..xsempat dah...

main mountain bike kat negeri kedah n area utara nie mmg syok habis la.. byk member2 baik n trek yg mengghairah kan... trek semua nye semula jadi.. bukan buatan org...

jamboree kulim nie..jamboree last la utk aku menetap kat kedah nie...

and harapan TOURING ke Kelantan bersama rakan2 sempat di laksanakan sebelum aku berangkat meninggalkan kedah nie...... tu la kayuhan Last kopek ku......

peace.... :(

Genting Highland vs Gunung Jerai

2010-04-19T23:24:00.000-07:00

gunung Jerai

Genting highland

about a month ago, ill climb up Gunung Jerai with bro pudin, n gerek baru team..

very tiring...

and from the topo mp, we can see that genting highland is double or triple the journey of Gunung Jerai...

so.. i have to prepare my mental n physical..

ill schedule my training session according to the world class standard hahaha

my target for training session is to climb up gunung jerai everyday..for 2-3 weeks..

than , i ll know wether im fit or not for genting highland

.....

Yes i love myself. and i feel ALIVE!

Genting Highland (Research part 1)

2010-04-18T23:13:00.001-07:00

some of the detail:

Height start: 557 m

Height top: 1650 m

Last week ive been to KL..

and i ve went up to Genting Highland.. using car of course..

so.. it is an excited trip going up there..

using Myvi 1.3... use the lowest gear... still hard to climb up..

so can u imagine if we climb up using our own HUMAN POWER?? yeahh...!!!

Gila kentang right??

i ve done a few research on the web... read some of the journal, experience, etc... people who have climbed genting highland..

it is a very super duber triple fuckiinnn tough route! but when u reach up there..... i think u ll be smiling for a month :p

okay.. some of the riders climb GH for 3-7 hours...

for me.. maybe i need more than that..

so... i ll plan properly this trip.. and get some of my friends to drive up there.. in case that i underestimate the route.. or anything happen..

this trip of course will be execute after Kulim Night Ride :p

need more mental and phisical preparation...

ill scedule my training at Gunung Jerai first.. then UP UP You Go Genting!.

the main problem here is... is it okay to climb using a Mountain Bike?

as the riders who climb up before us a Roadie.... that the main problem i ve to solve.. need to ask some of the profesional riders for their opinions and suggestion... but i wont buy a roadie yet :p

will conduct a detail research .....

chow!

Ride Up North 10

2010-03-14T19:01:00.000-07:00

Ride Up North

pic taken from hawk.mtb

some of the comments:

trail:
XC race trail. very nice... some of the downhill track a bit dangerous.. must be extra careful. no extreme climbing..but some of the hill are difficult to climb--bukit botak. combination of climb,loose rock, and hot weather.
all of the trail is a combination of mud,loose rock,sand n dust...

checkpoint:
good work! 5 checkpoints. and i didn't have to step down from my bike... how cool is that?? means that they all do they work very well... cekap laa..

water stations:
lots of water station and bananas... some of the marshall peel the bananas for us,.. just take it and sumbat dlm mulut.. waa... feels like we are professional rider right! thanks for that RUN10!

friendliness:
of course la run10 staff are friendly.. no doubt!! semua member2 hehehe..

time:
very sharp.. 730am sharp flag off.. sampai aku xsempat.... ish... i really dont know whether the time for flag off is sharp or a bit early...

overall:
the run10 is considered as successful event.. congratulation for run10 committees... worth it to participate in this event.. i even cannot critique this event... all going smooth and silky!!. the medal is great.. the food is great.. the trail is fucking great..

advice for future jamboree event:
other jamboree organizer can learn from run10.. how they organized it.. how they treat riders..
the most important thing is... how they suit the track according to the weather, time, riders capabilities and numbers of riders. these can avoid jammed when entering the offroad..

THE END

Run10 dah hampir...aku plak injured

2010-03-11T00:43:00.001-08:00

setelah sekian lama aku tunggu Run10 nie.. lagi 2 hari je tinggal..

aku plak injured kaki...

alahai...tulang tumit aku nie sakit ..nak kayuh boleh la sket2..tp kalau nak jalan..mmg merana laa..

menda nie berlaku sebab aku gatal2 pi main rugby plak 2 hari lepas... lepas kan gian..

dah dekat 2 tahun tinggal rugby... tibe2 ada tournament.. nak join laa...

akibatnyer.. injured lama berulang..

aku tgh fikir nak tarik diri la dari kayuhan Run10 nie..

bengang2!!...

harap2 sempat la sembuh so that i can join u guys at run10!

sugh!

Mendaki Gunung Jerai-penderaan fizikal,mental dan seksual

2010-02-28T01:36:00.000-08:00

Pendakian Gunung Jerai

Gunung Jerai Kedah
Distance:
*) 11km to museum
*) 13 km to chalet
*)14km to telaga sheikh

kami pergi dan balik... safe and sound!

ok.. at 900am ..we start climbing gunung jerai..
the highest mount at Kedah..(some says second highest,who cares?)

at the beginning... all went well...
after 3o minutes cycling... aiyaa.. so tired.. dont have energy anymore.. but we stil move on..

according to bro pudin, we reached at museum, and take about 1 hours and 40 minutes...
after that..we rest and then..start climbing again..to reached the third highest spot (the chalet)...even though it is only 2km distance.. but... if feels like forever ..

ok.. reach at 1200km aras laut.. (at the chalet). the fresh air makes us feel relax and we enjoy every second up there... the air is very cold..like Cameron highland.

im too hungry . and cannot cycle anymore.. i ordered burger and drink ice tea... after finish eating.. bro pudin and i start climb again ..now, we are heading to telaga sheikh... too tired to cycle.. mental is going weaker.. but we fight it... at last we reach telaga sheikh.. second highest spot..

after that..start climbing again to the highest peak of gunung jerai. pencawang telekom...
and alhamdulillah.. we reached pencawang telekom safe n sound! yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Gunung Jerai--> Ditawan!!!!!!!! conquered to the highest peak!

Shut Up and Learn!! Pre-ride check (Lesson 1)

2010-02-10T06:01:00.000-08:00

Shut up and learn!

assalamualaikum and hello again!

\m/ keep on metal-ing and mtb-ing!

for this section (shut up and learn),

i want to share some mechanical skills for mountain biking... im preparing 7 lessons such as :

1) pre ride

2)drivetrain

3) shifting

4) Brakes

5)Wheels

6)suspension

7) control

for today lesson- pre - ride check!

what the hell is pre ride check?? ok before u ride, u check ur bike first... to ensure safety and avoin problem when u ride...

the problem is.. what to check??? haaaa......... now shut up and learn!

1) brakes

roll on bike and give the levers a good squeeze.. make sure ur brake works properly

2)Quick release skewers

how to know that ur QR is tight enough?

easy, .. if u can undo the QR with ur index finger, they are not tight enough..

picture below use wrong finger hehehe

3)Headset

grab bar and lift the front wheel off the ground. and turn the bar side to side... to check if if the headset is loose or too tight

4)gears

hop on ur bike... shift every gear.. make sure it is smooth.. no skipping...

5)spoke tension

give each pair of spoke a quick squeeze.. poor spoke tension means a weaker wheel..

6)tyre pressure..

so there u are... everything is checksed! now get on ur bike .. shut up and ride!

peace!

amir cannot join.. nikmat also cancel at last minutes..

so my brother trek and i went to Danok..

our motives are to sight seeing, eat daging bakar. and just look around.. observe..

lots of thing you can observe at danok..

culture,race, food, environment, people,... u decide...

culture--> girls wear sexy dress... almost accompanied by man all the time... can ride motorcycle as many as possible... bad driver.... everywhere u can see signboard to rent room... anyway, prostitution is one of their economic driven factor..

race--> lots of people from different country... why?? lots of reasons

food--> cannot differentiate the halal and non halal. but u eat at makcik that wears tudung... but before this, makcik wears tudung offer me room for rm20 ajerr... for what?? lots of reasons... daging bakar is good.. hehe tom yam also good...

environment--> city not well organised... u can see people drove dangerously.. even an elephant at the city?? oh god!

people--> friendly enough.. but just be careful,, they might get angry and shout " Teiii Teeii!"

anyway.. its a good place for observation..

i like to observe people,place, race, culture.....

it makes u alive! trust me!

chow!

Amir merenung jauh nun di sana.. bawah tu ada sungai.. ada anak dara mandi

Farhan n heri.. enjoy the ride??

amir buat senaman ibu mengandung bersama Giant

best ke fullsus nie?? amir ushar pelik je.. cam xpuas hati...

letih climb..DH reward menunggu

amir pancit dah ke??

cam pucat je muka tuu

Heri tunjuk Good! haa..

Farhan pecut.. amir cakap dia nak balik awal.. xtau laa hehe

amir dgn aksi sarkas MTB.... nie latihan gaya imbangan badan, teknik nie sesuai guna waktu tuntun basikal...

Akulah Raja Mountain Bike untuk kategori Tuntun

hehehe

(Jgn Mara Bro.. gurau jerr.... ha ha)

Riders : Acong,Amir a.k.a Lazer ,M ,Heri , Farhan

Time:6pm

distance:20km

Track: Squeeze Money (Wang Perah)

Not much to say..

everybody seems fit enough to finish this track more or less than 1 hour!

we start it from reverse side...

so we have to climb the "not to steep but long" hill..

before this ..i went there with amir in a reverse way, so..we have a good downhill...

up to 54kmph..

wow.. but today, we climb that hill..

everyone seems fine..and had not much problem.

except for M that face a puncture tire when DH...

for me..the track is ok for leisure..

not that tiring... so anyone can come and join us anytime..

no need to be fit.. but if u r fit.. u can enjoy the ride..of course!

and the climb is also not that steep..but long.. like "bukit psyco" at Guar Napai track

so.. control your speed..try to control your cadence...

when u cycle at constant speed, your tire will spin nicely and will not slide away because of the loose rock..

the DH.. wow.! adrenaline rush out..

long.. and loose rock..

make us alert and aware....

dont follow your friends speed..

know your limit...

so...this will ba routine ride for us! insyaAllah..

wana join us?? feel free to come and have fun!

dont malu..

i managed to climb TNC hill 5 times...

hahaha.. before this, i can only climb up 2 or 3 times..

the weather motivated me... not so hot...

if every day i can climb TNC Hill 5 times...

.. but.. its to tiring... maybe i can try..

Squeez Money Track Offroad

2010-01-09T19:21:00.000-08:00

its been a while i did not update the blog..
as usual.. new year came.. and we all busy setting and scheduling our work..
same with me..
even tough i ride in the evening or morning.. but i did not manage to post the story..

this morning amir and i want to go offroad at Squeez Money track..
ha ha..
thats the stupid translation... means that--------> wang perah!

Squeez money=wang perah

okay.. the distance is 23.5km. max 47 onlly.. the downhill is very nice...!
start at 740-1010pm..
nice track..nice weather..
the track is good for training.. can make you a bit tired when climb up the hill..
theres a lot of different climbing offroad and road..
we tend to use lots of energy when climbing the offroad track compare to road..

have fun riding!

Taiping Jamboree... ish ish ish...

2009-12-27T22:23:00.000-08:00

(the pictures above is taken from http://adiharriman.com -> profesional photographer!)

26-27 dec
Taiping jamboree
Redflag riders

we went there under Redflag Team.. start our journey at 4pm and arrive there at 7 pm..
went to the kompleks rakan muda to take the jersey..but the xl size wasnt ready yet.. they post the jersey.its ok for me thou.. i dont really care bout the jersey..but some of the riders get very angry... but they said.. it wasnt their fault.. the jersey shop encounter some problem and the order cannot meet the due date..

at night we went to "Mak Teh Mee Udang" for dinner.. This place is famous for the "Mee Udang Laut and Kolam".. lots of people go there.. full house!

we are so excited.. and i want to order 2.. but alhamdullillah i only order 1.. and after tasting the food.. Fulamaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkk... udang dekat 15 ekor..rase mmg la "TAK SEDAP LANGSUNG!!".. .. i dont know why this place is so famous..! thats the first and the last time i go and eat there.. sorry Mak Teh.. ur recipe sucks

next day.. in ther morning.. at630 am .. tandope, ahtong ,azam and me..went to the the hotel to join other redflag team to start cycling to kompleks rakan muda.. the starting point..
the flag off was delayed due to the YB that didnt came. lots of rider shouted ... and after all the shouting and scolding.. they release the flag.. ha ha ha.. funny thou!

ok.. first stage was ok for me.. but after went to the off road track..there was a heavy traffic..we we all stuck.. it was a single trail. we have to queue and push our bike.. traffic jam.. firsly,i thought there was a rider that tired to cycle and caused the jammed.. but it was wrong.. there was a small stream and we have to carried or bike to cross it.. i stuck in the queue for at lease 45 minutes...

after that..we get the first check point sticker... and it was late..causeed of the traffic jam.. heading to the next offroad... it was very hot..and we keep seacrhing for the refill station.. ask the marshall.. and they also dont know... alamak... aper citer nie bro.. we have cycle for 25 km and still no refill station...

there was a chinese family that was good enough to offer their mineral water.. xkan la masuk jamboree ambik air kat rumah penduduk taman kat taiping tuu.. ape laaa....

next stage was worst!!!.. heading to the CP2... offroad... lot of rides.. jammed.. pack!! and xboleh kayuh.. only tolakk..!! the rail was not suitable for riding..only hiking!! how can we ride at the trail that the slope is 80%?? .. very slipery... !! at least .give us the trail that we can cycle... this is very bad..im stuck in the midle of the wood...
because of the trail was sooo stupid.. even einstein shocked! i got a new skill in mountain biking...

"duduk mengcangkung.. pegang basikal dalam keadaan sisi... turun trail tu dgn bontot secara menggelongsor.. "

ha ha ha ha ha

that was the trail in taiping.. we cannot ride.. and we try to do stupd skill to SAVE our life! it was dangerous and not worth it.. pay rm50 for entry fees..and end up lying in the hospital bed!
common..give us a MTB tail..not hiking or wild boar trail...

after i manage to get out from the stupid and dangerous off road tail.. i talk nicely to the marshall at CP2.. ask them weather they have try to ride the trail with bicyce.. they answered

" kami pun xtau latrail tu bahaya.. kami jaga kat cp2 nie je... org lain yg uruskan pasal test ride trail tu... kami xtau.. kami jaga cp je"

ok fine enough.. they didnt test the trail first.. i cant go through the next stage..and i went back to the rakan muda kompleks.. xsanggup nak seksa diri.. pg trail yg unsuitable for mountain bking..

i only manage to get 2 chekpoints.. but there are some tough rider can finish all the checkpoint.. congrat!!

anyway.. there are lots of improvement to be made.. some of the riders want to "boikot" taiping jamboree.. for me.. it is not the way.. if we keep on do like this.. the MTB sport in Malaysia will be ruin and xmaju lahh...

so .pengajur taiping.. please learn from your mistakes.. maybe the comments from the riders is very harsh.but at least take it and improve it for the coming years... people make mistakes.. the most important thing is to improve and correct it!

aku rase pujian xlayak nak bagi laa....!!!

rating: 1/2 Stars out of 10!

nak kutuk byk2 pun..dah ramai bloggers yg kutuk...lu fikir la sendiri...

time: 745am-10am

Distance: 22++ km

pagi2 hari dah keluar ke menghala ke jitra.. nak join geng gerek baru and d'pallas utk teroka offroad ladang jati..

disebabkan aku nie xtau jalan.. jd zn gerek baru tunggu aku kt simpang bukit wang..nasib baik.. mmg aku terkejut la.. nak pi kat skolah tu jauh masuk ke dalam..aku ingat ke ldg jati nie dekat2 bandar ajerr...rupanyer..jauh lagi ke dalam.. ok

sampai2 sana..dah ramai org da.. ada la dekat 7-8 org cam tu.. rajin2 riders jitra nie.. Bro Pudin ( ) bg tau kat aku yg nak naik ldg jati nie kene byk air.byk climb.. aduh..biar btol.. he he..

..mula2 ingat trail ldg jati nie mcm roller coster jer. jd xbreakfast la.. bila sampai.. tgk semua nyer climb hill.. aiiyaa... penyakit lama datang la "Sebu Perut" ish2.. bila sebu perut.. mental pun kacau bilau la.. tp teruskan jugak...

xbwk kamera sbb pagi2 hari kelam kabut nak kemas brg.. terlepas la scene yg mmg aku nak tangkap..kecewa btol.. waktu syok2 kayuh nie..jumpa 3 org siam tgh salai babi hutan.. hehe.. picture yg rare.. tp xda kamera.. xda la bukti.. nak suruh org lain tangkap picture, nampak aku freak pulak hehe

so kayuh la.. aku nie rider last la..sbb penat climb offroad..mcm nie la nanti nak kayuh kat ulu pauh, kata bro pudin..

so habis kayuh dlm kul 10.. aku dgn perut yg amat lapa.. makan 1 nasi lemak bungkus+ 1 nasi lemak pinggan + 2 Teh tarik--> nampak betapa lapar nyer aku hehe

pastu.. aku ikut la pulak riders2 nie pg umah Syam Gary fisher (rasenyer btol).. anak nyer bersunat..so ada mjlis la sikit..makan lagi..!!

Route: ladang tebu
Time 845
Rides: 20 riders + Ghost rider (Amir) he he
Distance: 30km++
Note: picture and video have been re-sized (kecil sikit..mudah nak upload.)

Surprisingly, lots of riders came tonight to join the ride with NXT team. about 20 riders came from different part of Kedah.. i really need the name list.. :p

we gathered at politeknik. and some briefing bout the ride is given by Chan NXT. after reciting the Doa, we start our ride.

before going offroad, we have to climb first.
Wan blitz kata " Chan tipu..kate xda climb"
hhehe..only small climb.. relex la wan blitz

after the DH reward, we turn right to the offroad track. after a while, we realize that we took a diferent track.. and thank god, we found the road again and search the right offroad track.. and we found it...

Chan NXT go first and after speeding for awhile, he fell..because of the thick sand..
but everything was ok!

we had several re-group to make sure that all riders is in the group..
the sweeper (bertukar-ganti) done a goodjob he he he

we have several difficulties. such as tayar basikal lon pancit, and then rantai baskel putus.. dah sambung.. then putus lagi.. (double putus!)
he try to fixed it and everything was okay!

however, we cant climb the "Tebu Hill".. cause its very dark and the track is sandy and rocky.. for the sake of everyone safety, we decided not to climb the hill... emmm sedih . but its ok..we can arrange to climb the hill again

then dah lewat.. kita pun berpatah balik..sedap2 aku kat depan.. sudenly.. ada lubang besar.. then dgn gaya "slow motion" (veyron and chan tengok aku jatuh slow2 hehe).. gedabab aku jatuh.. nasib baik xda pe..cuma peha kanan je bengkak nie.. rehat la 2 hari..

its to late to stop..and teruskan kayuhan.. we have to take the road track.. some of us even speeding for 40km/p to get back to the finishing field..

everythind was ok.. and Alhamdullillah..kita semua selamat and have fun..
the most important is: safety! ride hard, ride fast and ride safe...
and have fucking fun!!

Date: 5&6 Disember 09
Flag off: 8.30 am
Arrive: 3.15pm
Distance: 39.9km

this event showed how unfit i am.. my training wasn't enough to qualify for this event..
this is truly LASAK!! my "mental" is not strong to climb up the hill... ive to push my bike.. the hills is very high compared to other hills that ive climb... aiya.. i called it "Never-ending Hill"

imagine how unfit i am.. start cycle at 830am ..and i arrive at finish line at 3.15 pm.. 6 hours plus !!!!!... gila ape... kayuh 6 jam+++..!!..
eventhough i manage reach the finish line.. but im really dissapointed with my performance...

anyway, the trail is very tough!.. the uphill is the craziest ever..!! my mind keep telling me to give up. but i manage to fight it!.. there are 4 hills to climb.. and all of the hills just like killing me..

the downhill is very technical.. there are lots of switchback.. and singletrack trail is very long and narrow... ive no compaaint about the downhill! mmg best sgt downhill technical kat track nie..!! ive to brake until my arm feels tired.. the downhill is very far..brake pun dah berasap! im worried that the brake fail me.. but alhamdullillah.. brake ok.. aku pun ok!

prepared my bike for the event. my plate nomber 0072!

tunggu flag off.. lepak dgn team kayuh beb---
berkenalan dgn acong jugak dr kayuhbeb! hehe

lon and blitz.. tunggu flag off.. xsabar2 tu

ramai nyer kat padang
aku dgn trek..dah ready utk berlasak-lasak!

first hills.. semua dah tolak.. penat sgt..aku pun terikut dia org skali.. ishh!sempat posing jap..

mmg cerun la. aku kecewa sbb xfit..xleh nak kayuh.. :(yeah!! aku stilll betrenaga. kat belakang tu cerun.. dah nampak kabus2 sikit kan..nasib aku baik.. ada kabel car lalu waktu aku kayuh.. kalau zoom picture tu elok2..ramai

org dalam kabel car tu lambai2 kat aku,, hehe bagi semangat kot

nie laluan kabel car..aku seorang je waktu nie.. xtau la mana budak2 lain.. tinggi tu..

sedang2 aku posing2.. rakan seperjuangan aku panggil aku.. laaa tandope rupanyer!! he
he ..

nie kat hill mana aku pun dah lupa.. byk sgt hill yg panjang2..

climb yg never-ending!!.. aku xtau bila penyeksaan nie nak berakhir!!
tp aku tetap teruskan..waktu nie dah tinggi tahap "moksha".. tgk kabus2 tuuposing utk tangkap picture + ambik nafas.. bukit tinggi.tekanan pun lain..
kat bawah tu ada rider yg tgh usaha nak climb..
nampak tu,,kabus ribut.. waktu skg kul 12 thari..tp ada kabus.. makna nye tinggi la bukit nie..

ramai yg berehat.. aku pun join sekali la..tgk kat belakang tu,tebal sgt kabus.. aku nak bernafas pun susah.cam mana nak kayuh..
air presure kat atas bukit lain..

nie dah kira puncak la.. aku pun ambik kesempatan cari buah pisang kat kebun tu nak makan.. hahaha.. kira halal laaku dengan rider lain.. aku xtau nama sape.. tp semangat kesukanan... boleh join skali xperr..
lepas dr sini.. mmg aku dah xlarat sgt.. aku ingat bukit dah tinggal sikit.. rupanyer jauh lagi perjalana.. so aku dah xtangkap picture.. aku concentrate nak finish kan jamboree nie je..

and.. pukul 315pm.... what a relief!!!... aku dah sampai ke finish line..

muka yg kepenatan teramat sgt
0072.. 6 checkpoints! finish.. alhamdulillah.. aku dan rakan2 lain selamat
yahooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! xsangka sape tamat dpt finisher medal yg sgt berbaloii!!!
mmg cantik sgt medal nie... berbaloi2 usaha aku 6 jam
medal, goodies! syukur.aku berjaya tamat!

800pm.jamuan makan malam.. buffet..makan la byk2..sampai kembung perut pun xper!

esok hari.. waktu nak balik. aku sempat main basikal kat batu feringgi... cantik tol pantai nie..!!

nak balik ke kedah semula dah.. aku ambik fery utk balik.. biar basikal ku mabuk laut!

happy nyer ..aku balik umah disambut oleh rakan mountain bike aku! hehe

comments: overall event nie yg paling lasak yg pernah aku masuk.. sebab aku masuk baru 2 jamboree je.. aku mmg xcukup training sgt2.. mental lemah.. start dr harinie.. aku mmg nak training climnb hill.. tu la kelemahan yg amat ketara utk aku... kelemahan yg menyebabkan aku terpaksa mengharungi 6jam perjalanan yg lembap....

so start from now.. lets climb the hills! we can do it!

chow!

azizul as always, very relax. he enjoy the nature very much(maybe!). maybe the guar napai route is not that tough for him hehe.. ok...next time we ll go to Gunung Jerai.

semua tgh tunggu RD tukar tiub.. td tunggu dia sampai lambat.. hehe

lepas kluar kat napoh..singgah breakfast dulu.. rushdone kuat btoi makan..roti canai+telur separuh masak.. letih tukat tiub tadi kot hehe

what can you learn when you are not riding outdoor?

2009-11-24T04:35:00.000-08:00

there are still lots of techniques to practice
as i am a fanaticism... i do practice a lot.. and i do it indoor and outdoor..

especially now,
when you want to go out and ride, suddenly, the rain start pouring down.

what i did is.. i practice "TRACK STAND"
try to balance your weight and your position when your bike is in static condition.

you can search the step by step guidance in youtube.com..
i know ..all the "otais2" out there do this like "kacang!! petik jari ajer" ..
haha. but for me.. very difficult..
anyway practice make perfect.. you also can do it!

NextEvent : Kayuh Lasak 5 & 6 Disember

Pendang jamboree...!!!!!! gila lumpur byk nak mampuih!! hahaha

2009-11-21T00:41:00.001-08:00

maybe you heard lots of complaints for this jamboree/race
for me, the track is rough due to the heavy rain..
and i almost surrender when my bike have problem to change the gear..
the problem stated when the mud splash into the crack, gear, and brakes..
and jammed the system.
but Alhamdullilah, even though i cant change the gear, but i managed to finish the race.

mineral water, 100 plus, bananas is provided..
the marshals are friendly (always smile at me) . at the check point, they have tried to do their best to put the sticker on the riders' plate. good job.

however, there are also the bad side stories of pendang jamboree.
firstly, the last obstacle, we have to carried out bike and go up the stairs..
in my opinion, i cant complaint if this is an "iron man" competition.. but for mountain biking,
it is unsuitable...

second, the food.. haha.. i love good food..
maybe i dont like "gulai ikan masin"..
in my mind, i was thinking about eating chicken and not fish..
but it is ok, no big deal, as i have lost my appetite due to the tiredness

thirdly, i categorized this event as a "race" ..not jamboree...
the participant raced from the beginning till the end..
trying to get medals under 100..
so i cant even enjoy the nature..
i ve to cycle fast enough.. and cant stop..
shit. i hate the feeling of pushing myself to the limit...
but, feels great when u finish the race...!

for me, they have tried their best to organize the event.
and ive meets lots of new friends there..
thats enough for me- at this time

Source: http://hawkmtb.com/
Senyum je... xsangka aku bleh habis race/jamboree nie

ai redflag nie mmg power la..

kayuh malam 16 nov

2009-11-16T19:03:00.000-08:00

thanks to rushdone that very determined to ride at night..
he SMS me at 7.30pm to ride. but i ve some work to settle ...
and after ive finish my work at 10 pm.. its already late..
but our FANATICISM and OBSESSION in MTB defeated everything..
even though it is already late... and the rain had just stopped... we dont even care..
all we want is to cycle!!....

so as our obsession getting higher.. we start out ride at 10.15pm..
the same route for fitness training..
the distance is about 30.5km...

the road is slippery.. ive attempt to do a bunny hop.. and suddenly i cant control my bike..
thank god i didnt fell down.. but a least i known that i can do the bunny hop now hehe

we finished our ride at 12 pm.. and have a cold 100 plus drink at ahmadiah pokok ceri...
before minum2 .. kami terserempak dgn tandop nak pi makan... and he ask us.. " dont you have any other work to do?" haha.. no we dont have...! only mountain biking!

:p till then.. lots more to tell.. but im in hurry...

Some magazine to share...(ebooks)

2009-11-15T06:15:00.000-08:00

mountain bike magazine is a bit expensive out there.. some of 'em can reach rm 20 each..
so without further a due, this e book can help us that don't wanna spend money for the magz..
save money, and you can upgrade you bike.. haha ...

feel free to download and share it! its free.. what more do you expect?

700 am in the morning..
meet rushdone at 7eleven..
start cycling in the thickest mist ever...! because of the heavy rain yesterday.

my face is getting wet..not because of the sweat, but because of the mist that
condense on my face.

jarak penglihatan jugak limited ...
we have to switch on the light for our own safety..

anyway..
i felt like cycling in the morning is more hectic compare to evening..
and the thing i hate most is when my stomach feel " sebu"..
and want to vomit.. . maybe bocoz i dont take my breakfast yet and start cycling,..

today rushdone and i manage to conquer the "TNC hill" haha..
this is the frst time rushdone test the "TNC hill" - but he manage to reach the peak SMOOTHLY!! .. i reached the peak..but i have to tolak my bike..

Bunny Hop!!

2009-11-09T03:25:00.000-08:00

ok.. have you heard about the technique called "bunny hop"?
of course the "otai2" out there know how to do it.. but for me.. it is a new experience

its very useful especially off road..
when there is a log, or a puddle.. and you don't want to get off your bike, you just used bunny hop
technique to jump through the obstacle.

How to determine you FRAME size..

2009-11-04T02:55:00.000-08:00

this guide is for mountain bike.. not a road bike..but it can be applied too.. with slightly adjustment..
i read it in the TREK user manual.. and thanks also to brother at redflag jitra for sharing the useful information..
so it is so simple to determine your right size... just do the test.. and the bike will fit you properly

Step 1

Find a bike shop that offers the bike(s) that you're looking for. Bike frames vary widely among manufacturers and models, so fit is very model-specific. Bikes come in sizes measuring the seat tube in inches (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22) or more general sizes (Small, Medium, Large). While you could perform some tedious calculations, it would really be easier and more effective to size it out in person.

Step 2

Ask for help. While this article will give you the basic know-how, there will likely be a bike shop staff member just itching to give you a hand and make fitting the bike a lot easier. It wouldn't hurt to have some hands-on knowledge and advice for guidance.

Step 3

Step over the bike and straddle the top tube standing, feet flat. You should have about 2 to 4 inches or so of clearance. If you are touching the top tube or have less than 2 inches of clearance, try a smaller frame. If you have more than 4 inches of clearance, try a larger frame.

Step 4

Once you've found the correct height, sit on the bike and determine a proper seat height. When on the pedals your legs should maintain a slight bend at the knee when pedals are at their lowest point. Adjust the seat accordingly.

Step 5

Get a feel for the length of the bike. Your arms should have a slight bend at the elbow. If your elbows are locked, the bike is too long, try moving the seat forward. If they are scrunched it is too short, try moving the seat back. If you can't get the right fit, try a different size or different bike. Other than that, proper length is largely about personal comfort. Cross country bikes tend to be longer, requiring a more leaned stance, while all mountain and freeride mountain bikes are generally shorter, allowing you to sit more upright.

Step 6

To get the full feel for how the bike fits and the comfort level you have on it, take it for a test ride. Pay attention to how comfortable or uncomfortable the stance is and how effectively you're able to pedal and ride.
