Kluang MTB Fun Ride 09’ – The Real Fun

The day was just perfect to really have a good and enjoyable ride. Seeing riders coming in from as far as Melaka and Singapore, really pump up our club to organize this kind of event in the future.

We were a bit surprised when our registration team informed that 117 riders registered that morning. The ride that we initially planned for closed friends/riders became a big event for a club that is only active with 8 riders.

I could only get a few comments from the riders caused I was given the responsibility of managing any problem facing the riders during their ride. So most of the time I was on my bike following them and assisting any fatigue riders. But I did get some comment about the trail that they said was not that tough or rugged. They were hoping it could be more off-road all the way from Estate Bukit Benut to Taman Intan. That’s the portion most of the riders had difficulty because they had to deal with hot sun, strong wind and riding with off road tires.

I had to agree with them about the trail for this Fun ride. For us, we named it Fun ride because we wanted riders to enjoy the ride not to torture themselves with long and tiring ride. That’s why we decided to have trail that is not technical but more of testing our endurance.

Anyway, we want to thanks riders from Melaka, Muar, Batu Pahat, Segamat & Singapore and even from Kluang for taking part in this Fun Ride. The local Police for leading the pack and controlling the traffic from Taman Intan to Kampung Rahmat. The management of Bukit Benut Estate for giving the right of way in their estates. Our friends Cikgu Ali and the gang for assisting and marshalling the rides.

We welcome any feedback from riders about anything that related to this Fun ride that you think will do us good in organizing similar events in the future. Just leave your comment in this post and we will get back to you. I will be posting more pictures from this ride….soon….So for the time being, here are some pictures coming from this Fun Ride.
