Jamboree Updates

Hiii! We are back! Macam lah lama sangat pergi. We were in Ipoh on Saturday until Sunday, accompanying hubby who together with his mates joined the ipoh happy-to-ride cycling jamboree. Awal pagi Ahad saya dah bangun hantar hubby ke pusat komuniti taman koperasi perpaduan, ulu kinta, ipoh from our homestay. Both yaya dan fahmi masih tidur saya tinggalkan di homestay tempat kami menginap, daring sungguh saya.

It wasn’t a race but they did handed out medal to the first 500 bikers who made it to the finish line. Very generous of them! But it was a very though off road ride. Very very though. Hubby said 70% laluan adalah berbukit yang sangat tinggi dan curam. Well you are talking about memanjat banjaran titiwangsa and ipoh dikelilingi bukit so what do you expect hubby. I guess when the organizers hand out 500 medals they are being appreciative to the bikers yang sangat gigih complete the whole leg. Many didn’t make it to the finish line. Many quit after the 2nd check point bila mana bukit-bukit tinggi yang sukar didaki ada di depan mata. Kalau nak rakamkan dengan kata-kata di sini tidak memadai. Saya yang sekadar mendengar cerita dari hubby pun rasa teruja. Alangkah bagus if I was there merakamkan seluruh perjalanan!

I guess strength alone tidak mencukupi untuk sesiapa juga menamatkan the ride, it calls for strong determination for them to complete the whole leg. Kudos to hubby and his mates yang berjaya make it to the finish line. I have photos of them sebelum ride dimulakan, pity I don’t have photos of them after the ride. Tengok diaorang bergelimpangan terbaring di kaki lima rumah kedai berhampiran finish line selepas acara tamat, has been my source of amusement. Masing-masing dah tak peduli kan orang lain, dari berbaju sampai tak berbaju, tak kisah dah kat mana pun asal dapat baring hilangkan penat.

Hubby made it in 3 hours plus. Alhamdulillah dia balik in one piece takde calar or luka. Hanya excitement dan kepuasan yang jelas terpancar pada wajahnya. He is all smiling. And he has very good reason to be. He got a medal for his determination! Walaupun dia adalah biker no 437 yang reach home but 437 out of 1000plus participants and furthermore it was his first race, his achievement is really amazing. I’m very proud of you darling.
