    The ride starts on time. The ride consists of 80% off road & 20% on road. Due to the heavy downpour the night before, the trail somehow became technical with some area where water covering up the trail surface (like swimming pool?)

Getting ready

Look-on 

   The ride starts with a director's car to control the peloton speed. Fortunate enough, AB & myself make it to the front and lead the whole bunch of other riders..... 400? Or more? 😬

Happy faces 

   Generally, the start was bit faster than expected. Cruising on an avg 28-30+. Occasionally, the speed raised close to 40kmh. Thanks to the FCTs Mr Keith & Mr PowerFoo. Though the pace maybe not as smooth as what intended for, but we shall make it a better very very soon. 

   Today, 3 virgin riders that clocked their 1st ever 70km+ ride. Bravo to RH, Mg & AB. 

    The stop at Teluk Kemang was a quick version due to the dark cloud nearby. We left the scene right after the individual & group photo session.

   On the way home, newbie Monggo started to scream because of his jelly legs. However, he managed to speed up to the front pack to hold the train-head! What an amazing power he has!

2nd stop for 4D luck

Leaving 2nd stop towards. 

    Towards the finishing, we have a fighter group speeding home. The last 4km saw the aggressive pace! And all make it home at a very fast pace! All riders reached home within 15mins after the 1st rider. 

    Overall, it was a fantastic ride that proved "Ride As A Team" works! We managed to get back about 9am! Way ahead from what webpage planned (10am). 

    What a sunshine Sunday with a wonderful ride with BFF and still plenty of time reserves for family gathering on Sunday.
