January Hash Ride 2010

What a good ride it was! Made even better with a huge turnout of 51 guests and 20 members. Hare Cedric "The Swiss Connection" Bourquenee did a fine job of setting 31 km of nice cross country trail with a few hills thrown in to get the sweat glands working! He was kind enough to cut 7 km of the original plan to cater for the newbies.

When we arrived at the start venue, I realised I only had the pair of slipper on and had left my cycling shoes at home. Luckily my wife was kind enough to bring them over and I started about 10 minutes late after flag off. It wasn't long before I caught up with some riders that were helping each other cross a ditch



Just a couple of kilometers ahead and we saw the front riders closing the loop and we decided to do a short cut and join them. That chicken trail cut short the distance of about 7 km. Just ahead was Cedric waiting with supply of fresh water, isotonic drinks and bananas. A sight for sore eyes.

Got it!

After the water break, it was fast riding all the way to complete the 2nd part of the hash. Overall it was a good ride with varied terrain.

Thanks to guests from around Malacca, Mastana (Masjid Tanah), Batu Pahat's Nature Bikers Club and others that we may have left out, that made this hash ride successful and "meriah". Not to leave out the support of our own members, new and old.

We now look forward to February's Hash Ride in Jasin which we heard will be another good ride as the Jasin Mtb group is giving us preliminary test ride of their coming Jamboree Ride.

Plus Mastanah Mtb group has volunteered to do the hash ride for March in the area of Masjid Tanah.

A very good start for 2010. Come and join us at the next ride on 28th February (Sunday). Location will be announced later.

Till then, Ride Safe!

On! On!
