HIGHLIGHTS |
|
News from the
road ....................... |
|
the untold stories of our
major project charity bike riders ..... |
|
 |
Think
you have quiet roads in Malaysia? Think again! A 5am start
proved to be a nightmare reaching the "Muar area".... "we were
caught in a 5am 'rush hour' traffic jam!" |
|
Breakfast at 11am with chicken rice and
red hot chilli
to go along proved to be gut-challenging for Pieter later on in
the journey. Our bike rider was fighting nausea and
diahrroea.
Fortunately a pit stop with an isotonic drink proved to be the
old folk remedy that worked !!! |
|
The
next meal break consisted of fish ball noodles from a local road
side hawker! Thankfully their stomachs agreed with the noodles. |
|
The
ride was uneventful until a spook broke from Joop's bicycle
wheel. Fortunately 10km up the road, a friendly Malaysian
neighbourhood bicycle repair shop was able to mend the damage
with a new spook for only RM1.50, "a steal indeed" not to
mention a good time for a breakdown and repair. |
|
The
most frightening experience came from the lighting bearing down
on the duo when they were crossing the 2nd link bridge before
arriving in Singapore and finally at Raffles Country Club. |
|
|
A 261 kilometer
journey that took them from
Malacca to Singapore in about 12-13 hours with time to spare !!!
Congratulations Pieter
and Joop. Well done !!!
Also to the support vehicle of President Wei Lien and Daniel Boen,
Thank you.
