Not sure why I signed up for this ride, but I guess I needed it to cool off after a very hectic and demanding week. This ride was really a "cool" experience. For 1 thing, it rained, I mean really rained. I knew it gonna be tough because it was suggested by Kee, and we'd be following Wong Kona team. But because the team E/F pledge "you go, I go", I was obligated to go (thanks KB...). Good thing, the E/F team stuck together, as sweeper team, all the way.
The D/ F team, I mean, the sweeper team:
The hardcore bike pushers. Chun Chiat pushed his new Specialized Stump Jumper because it is lighter to push and it is a downhill bike:
Our ride up was interrupted by heavy rain several times. The longest was at the serai (lemon grass) farm. I personally thanks God for the needed breaks.
the participants:
It started raining again as we reach the top, at Kee's aunt house. Despite the damped/cool/wet ride, we were given warm welcome with hot kopi O, tea, fried beehoon & mee. 
The rain continued for some time and we had to waited quite some time to get Kee's clearance to ride down. Kee's family offered Tiger Beer & roasted pork to keep the team warm. Chun Chiat skillfully rode downhill, not too sure if it was because of his new bike or the Tiger Beer.
Some rider rated it as the best ride, I think because after all that nice treat from Kee's family, they also got some packed some pau & fruit for us to bring back, just in case we got hungry cycling back.
Nice ride. Thanks to Strong Man Kee!
