Project-Ryders: 12th Day - Let's Twist It Around

The land of the eagles.. and the land of Puteri Mahsuri.. the princess with a heart so big yet so soft that was accused wrong and was sent to death subsequently, that fairy tale mentioned that she sworn and put on a curse if she’s being sentenced to death vainly, she would eventually bleed in white and the island is being cursed for 7 generation. This time of the journey was a breeze for us. It’s one of the best island and to be exact the most frequently visit island in Malaysia. Island wasn’t that big nor small.. it’s just nice for it’s amazing sea breeze that came almost at each and every corner of the island. Despite the heat, we still manage to strife on with our bikes and not to mention the Rm70 per day Van. That technically helped us a lot on transportation.

So much had happened since.. Truly an island of 1st for most of us, with new found people and faces, with experiences that never taught it would even struck across ourselves, but nevertheless.. this calls for the end for 2 of our riders, not that they are physically gone but spiritually lost from our sight. Due to some constrains and mentally exhausted. They are now leaving 5 left to continue the another 50% journey that’s left for Project-Ryders to be completed. Our overly-enthusiast-photographer and forever hyped up to want to bike along inspiring-super-lady is now on the list to endure the last 50% hurdle across Quarter of Malaysia’s Map.

Early in the morning, we waved goodbye to Ian at the Jetty.

We have only three cyclists on the road from now on...

& the ever ready car crews

along with wounds and MooMoo

Cat buying tickets again

Before getting up to the ferry, disaster took its toll...

Nic injured himself again

& Jet fell

At the Jetty in Kuala Kedah, Nic, Sharon and KJ parted with the car crews and Jet. Jet decided to leave the team for personal issues and the car crews tailed him until he reached Alor Setar to get a train home with his bicycle.

KJ with his usual expression

Reaching Alor Setar, Cat and Kai tried to purchase the train ticket to Rawang but it was all sold out. Jet tried other classes of seats and still faced the same problem. The fastest ride to Rawang was at 6p.m. the next day. This put the three of them into deep thoughts again.

Option 1:-

Jet stays in Alor Setar until the next day to take the train.

Option 2:-

Dismantle the bicycle and together they traveled to Gurun to meet the rest of the team.

Cat ruled! She technically ordered how it was to be done and chose option 2 for mostly safety reasons.
