It was the most exciting day everyone was waiting for…Ipoh Century Ride 2009 is finally here.
I was busy packing and gearing up my bike stuff, clothes, nutrition, bike gearing and waiting for Yong to pick me up around 1.30pm. As plan, Yong arrived and soon my bike and luggage is already loaded in the car and ready to roll out to Ipoh.
As we soon realized we are out of Power Bars & Power Gels, we manage to stop by at Giant Supermarket and get lots of them. I’m very sure I’m gonna need all the energy bars & gels for tomorrow ride.
Century ride is a marathon ride for any cyclist who wanted to crown themselves by completing a total ride distance of 160km within a time limit.
As we reach Ipoh, we quickly get our apartment key (for our stay for the night) and get ourselves down to Ipoh Tower. This year, Ipoh Tower had been chosen to be the area for our race number, goodies bag, tag, free gifts collection.
I collected for all our Sitiawan Cycling Club riders and leave the building around 6pm. We headed to Tesco for our dinner while waiting for others to arrive. We have a good laugh at the mamak stall before headed back to the apartment for the night.
As we check out the goodies bag, we gear up our bikes with race number, oil the chain & double check the air pressure. Yong & Rafi had the chance to get a injection of B Complex vitamin brought by our doc (Kumar). We have another round of good laugh before everyone began to sleep for the night.
