Thursday, May 22, 2008previously, our heroes from Ride from the Heart were on a race towards the Golden Arches, aiming to reach there for the beloved breakfasts... however, our resident foodies/clowns/whatever you want to call them were now slightly crocked. with banged up knees..so our race towards the Arches..slightly degenerated to a..slow crawl of sorts.. but of course, with our mantra of leaving no man behind, we HAD to slow down for them..and consequently miss the breakfast. of course Tim Tay was none too happy, considering he had to hold back on his ahem, attacking instincts. as we..raced (crawled) on, going on and on on the relentless roads..literally over the hill was when we saw the gates to our salvation on a hot, hot day. Suddenly I saw 2 blurred figures (guess who?) racing past me screeching.."HERE I COOOOOMEEE!" they could have out-sprinted anybody at that point I think. there're alot more details after that, like how Leong punctured for a SECOND TIME and did not have tools, resulting in us having to change his tubes for him, and using our mouths to blow up his tube (you know I'm jesting and I still love you). and how he had to use his MTB on a malaysian expressway. and how we were stuck in various life-threatening situations while attempting to cross the Causeway. and how Tim attacked AGAIN at Mandai on the way home. but they're just details. we just had heckuva lotta fun. as we always do. or at least we try to when we're sweating it up the hill. but we've got more interesting stories from Desaru..which will come up over the weekend..(I hope.) stay tuned for details of that..and our roadshow coming soooooon! Posted by Xihao at Wednesday, May 21, 2008 it's a LAZY afternoon at work. I'd rather be out riding. Posted by Anonymous at destiny with desaru.
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 beautiful desaruwith its searing heat and rolling hills was the best test for our rfthearters thus far. none of the 5am rides none of the coastal stretches none of the mount fabers could prepare any of us for the kind of weather lack of water and undulating conditions the reality of many things really set in when it comes down to the crunch safety logistic support sheer grit. ben.

Desaru could be aptly summarized in one word I guess: HOT. I knew Malaysia was hotter than Singapore, but I never knew that it could be THAT scorching. As we all know, a picture speaks a thousand words, so here's a visual illustration of just how hot it was:  I must admit, it being my first time to Desaru, I had no idea whatsoever about the terrain there. I only heard it was hilly from friends. Oh well, hilly. Mandai's quite hilly too, I thought. But after this trip, I honestly think Mandai is a hump compared to Desaru. So we climbed, we cursed, and some of us pushed ourselves so hard, you could see salt literally coming out of our body!  NO, that is not leftover shampoo. It's salt. But at the end of the day, it was a good training trip and I think all our fitness levels definitely jumped a notch from just 2 days of riding about 90km/day. Seriously, 90km in Desaru feels more like 180km man. It also helped quite abit for our morale to come back from a loooong and tiring ride to this: All thanks to Xihao's uncle and aunt, who helped us greatly with the accomodation and made sure that we were well taken care of during our time there. I think it is a team consensus that we will be headed up to Desaru again, perhaps in a few week's time. Till the next time we hit the hills! - Dennis

Posted by Anonymous at previously, on the adventures of Kukup...
when we last left off on the previous post, we had just arrived at Kukup where we proceeded to shower and change out of our dirty dirty tights..in spite of our earlier non-stop consumption of insane amounts of food..we all went out to lunch when the rest of the group arrived at 430pm. lunch at 430pm? who's complaining? it's food! after a long day on the bike chasing down attacks after attacks and with a full belly the next inevitable thing on the agenda was definitely sleep. obviously trust our resident pseudo foodies and now resident clowns in Dennis and Jinx to fight over blankets. when there was ample blankets for everyone. has to be them eh. the rest of the night went by in a flash, with another round of awesome bbq food for dinner and random conversation highlighted by topics which are definitely not meant for public reading or understanding so we'll leave it at that.. then at 330am, in the depths of sleep, all of us jumped straight outta bed and rushed out to the balcony. it. was. a. warzone. there was rain, thunder, lightning, wind of a HUGE scale. the tights and shoes which we left in the open to dry..was well..wet. things were strewn all over the place, helmets which were left on top of the bikes had been blown off to land on the floor. well we could very well say good bye to dry shoes even though the shoes were brought in. everyone was also resigned to the fact that they'd be facing wet and soggy tights for the ride home later in the morning. Except Jinx and I of course, cuz we had the presence of mind to bring our tights in. ahem. haha  clutching at straws for comfort, I agree..but hey. take what you can, I always say. that's it, enough slacking at work. stay tuned for the next episode where instead of the race to "White Castle" ala Harold and Kumar, the Ride from the Heart crew raced towards the Golden Arches..

Tuesday, May 13, 2008  chihao looking tired....   after the causeway..Labels: kukup Posted by Anonymous at talk about tired legs...
Hi all! It was an awesome ride up to Kukup over the weekend with a nice dosage of rain, sun and ALOT of food. Well I guess that's what you get when you put 7 hungry boys together and make them ride for a long. long. long. way. we were slightly delayed on Saturday morning by the downpour in Singapore, which also meant that most of you were happily snug in your beds while we waited it out at Kranji MRT. When the weather finally cleared and we made our way to the Causeway, happily facing us was the normal morning jam. Deciding to risk our lives and joining the motorcycle queue, it took us 45mins to clear customs! After forever, we were off and since only Lester knew the way there, we were all happy to sit back and let him pull us..haha..First pit stop was at a petrol kiosk about 50kms into the ride. All the way through we were happily swapping jokes until the rain decided to fall again, putting a dampener on proceedings. No matter, a shift next door for some prata and milo to warm us up. From then on, it was race towards Pon Tian for some of their..famous Wanton Mee, according to our pseudo foodies in Dennis and Jinx. and BOY did we eat again..wanton mee, claypot rice, chicken rice, tau huay..and the best part of eating in Malaysia? Nothing like old school, authentic kampung food. No food courts for us! The plan after lunch was a slow 20+km ride towards Kukup, or rest stop for the day..NOT! There was nothing slow about the ride there, post lunch. Tim (Tay) who had been itching to attack all day, but was held back because he didn't know the route, launched his best Paris-Roubaix impersonation on the rough roads of Malaysia. He was quickly joined by JB, aka Arnold. Rest of us were slow to react, but I had to bring them back, in the interests of riding as a group of course. No intention of wanting to join them in the breakaway whatsoever. None. Chasing for a good 2-3km or so I finally caught them, dragging the rest of the group back up with me as well. As James put it..it was a 'tau huay up to the throat' moment. right, that's it for the Kukup trip updates for now, stay tuned for photos, and the next episode where we rushed out of our slumber in sudden shock of the happenings....
