At 0700, ryders are gathered at Nic's place. After some warm ups and photo taking sessions, ryders are all set to conquer the road. Departing from Bukit Damansara, ryders took their paths while the car crews head before them. It took the ryders 4 hours to reach Esso Petrol station in Kepong due to two punctures along the way. The first puncture occured to Ian's bicycle at Sri Hartamas while the second on Nic's at Sri Damansara. Due to the rain, the ryders stopped at Mont Kiara for 20 minutes.
One of the ryders, Ian Ho was facing great difficulties in keeping up with the pace of others as her bicycle is heavier than what she can carry. The ryders work together to remove the rack and stand from Ian's bicycle at Kepong Esso Petrol station. KJ, our official photographer substituted Ian and took the road with other ryders to Rawang.
The ryders managed to get signatures on their way. One fruitseller offered to provide the ryders some bananas to be taken on the road. Thanks aunt!!
Once touched down in Rawang, we went to a bicycle shop and had Ian's bicycle installed with new 4kg lighter rims. In the mean time, the ryders and car crews had a drink in one of the shop and had some conversations regarding the problems and changes to be made. We met Sandra Loh (a big inspiration to us!) in the mall while doing some shopping. It's a waste that we did not get to take a picture of her and us.
After a long day of cycling, ryders are getting restless and easily irritated. However, this does not stop our enthusiasm and determinism to continue and complete the mission.

On the way, they managed to retrieve more signatures from Kuih seller and her customers. The Kuih seller and the friends who were hanging out there were amazed by the distance the ryders are willing to take in order to raise fund and at the same time create awareness amongst the public in the aid of assisting the physically challenged persons.
Also, the ryders took some pictures when they found something interesting.
We have "White Box" here
