It was 1 week left for the Century Ride 2008 after my first Ipoh International Run.
Everything was prepared as earlier as possible (3 days before)- the bike, gearing, tools, jersey, power gel, muscle cream and the leg’s muscle of course.
On Saturday, I and Yong decided to go down to Ipoh earlier to collect the goodies bag and race tag number for all Sitiawan participant.
We travel at 3pm and once we at the race secretariat area, we were told that the jersey provided has run out of sizes. S and XS is the only size left to be collect. We collect for total of 19 participant and begin to feel the heat of tomorrow race. Lots of national, state riders were hanging around at the hotel lobby.
Once we left with the goodies bag in our hand (all 19), we drive our self to our accommodation (arrange by our coach Kong Hing) It was a great place, with 6 rooms and fully air condition with TV provided.
We unloaded our bikes and begin to look for food while we waiting for others to arrive. Team TNB came early and took their goodies bag together with their race number. Pangkor Kheong is next to take the goodies bag as he is staying overnight at a different location.
Ah Chui, Rafi, Kumar arrive not long and we have our self loaded with carbohydrate. Nasi Goreng Ayam, Roti Canai is among our carbohydrate loading.
Soon we are heading back and rest for the night. At 12am, I woke up due to loud noise outside of my room door. And then I realized, Hamid, Remy, Jasni, Kong Hing and Ming Meng is all here. I tag my race tag number on the helmet/bike the same night and we managed to chat for a while before heading back to sleep.
RACE DAY stories coming up soon. Do Wait!
