14th Day - One of the Most Important Decision in Life

We had a long discussion last night. A very very looooooong one.

It involves a lot of emotions. We need a decision.

We talked and talked.

We listened to what everyone have to say and try to understand the intended messages.

Tired and we took a rest.

Extremely exhausted

and the next thing .....

Yam rice again!

Yam spotted!

machang kuih - Cat's recommendation

We still have fun bullying the hippo...

After a good day of rest, a decision must be made.

We voted.

We are to decide whether we would continue the journey as planned. Many concerns were discusses including financial resources, physical strength, time, emotional capacities...

Not this way of course...

Voting instruction:-

1. Go in front of the camera

2. Write either YES or NO (Yes=continue to cycle, NO=no more cycling)

3. Stuff your answer sheet into the box

4. Tell us why in front of the camera

KJ went first

while Sharon made faces

Emo'ing already...

This is the outcome

Next, we thought of seeing the Penang beach once more...

Whatever outcome it is... Project Ryders had already marked its end. It is definitely a beautiful end. We made friends. We earn valuable experiences. We learnt much and most of all, we get to know what we want...

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

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.

In Gurun, ryders were able to put up a night at Liggy's place. Many Many thanks to you, Liggy!

1st Day - 02.08.09

Today is the day! After three months of planning, the ryders are now on the road.

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.

The bicycle is now fixed and is ready to go for more distance. Ian took her bicycle and KJ replaced Nic on the route to Jet's place.



Nic's bicycle puncture for the third time.


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

One fifty per song!

Many thanks to Jet and his family members and definitely to Jet's mom with her fantastic cooking and his father's great skills in fixing bicycles!

We are energized for tomorrow for what we have experienced today!


PS: Pictures are taken with phone. Better pictures will be up soon!
