You may call me silly,crazy or even mad...I did a mini Nibong Tebal Jamboree solo! It started as a normal ride when I left my mum's house in Nibong Tebal at 7.00 am. It was suppose to be an easy road ride, when I reached a junction of Bukit Panchor and Sungai Kecil, I took the one heading Sg.Kecil till the road branched into Kg.Besar and Sg.Kecil so I took the Kg.Besar road until a T-Junction, indicating left to Serdang and right to Kg.Besar. I thought since it is a easy ride to take the Kg.Besar until I reached a familiar sight Hutan Lipur Nibong Tebal ( Forest Reserves) as it was one of the tracks during the NT Jamboree. Well how difficult could it be, easy ride mah!
Little did I realised that it headed straight to the hilly trail, so I thought why not just try a while and decide later to head down the same way. Boy, did I got absorbed in the ride, a little further took me to the entire first hill...decision time,shall I turn back or continue riding. I decided to press on and the trail looks very familiar, this was the same route that gave me my muscle cramps! I told myself I am going to enjoy this time as I missed the fun going downhill during NTMBR!So I decided not to let this opportunity slip by! I continued riding, through the places where I meet Yazid during the ride, where I had my cramps, where I pushed my bike both uphill and downhill with cramps.It was a not a easy ride for me as my bike now weigh 2kilos and my shoe another kilo after gaining red earth as it rained yesterday. This time I was having a fun filled ride going downhill and uphill and I let out a victory cry after completing all the downhills! Little did I realised that my victory cry after all the downhill rides I missed earlier. It was short lived victory cry as at the palm oil plantation I could not find any indicators for direction. I took a wrong turn which led to a dead end and U-turned to re tracked the trail and after few tries managed to come to a junction of two routes,I took a risk with the one heading downhill, lucky for me it led to some NTBMR indicator. I followed the indicators till I reached the Kampong again and finally to the main road and reached home at 9.50am. When I think back of this expedition only did I realised that how silly I was doing this ride solo! Anyway it was a all fun!
