Ride Itik to Koh Samui - Samui Bike Week 2014 Part 1

The Ride Itik legacy continues... this time we are heading towards Koh Samui Thailand. The activity - just ride, enjoy and visit Samui Bike Week 2014. That is all about this ride. It is a 500 km one way. Never had this far before. Map below shows everything... the route and the distance. Well you may search our event page here (the FB link)

5am 1-May-2014 - Makbul 24 hour Restaurant, Lagenda Height - our RV. Not many were there. Just a few from the participant while the remaining were the escortee. At this point, we are not sure how many are following us to Samui nor how many will be escorting. What we do know is

1. 8 riders from sentral  most probably resting in RnR Gurun waiting for us. They have endured 400km at night. 
2. 2 from Ipoh
3. 1 from Gunung Semanggol

  

0515 HRS group moves to RnR Gurun with a message "Siapa lambat kejar"

0530 HRS arrived at RnR Gurun. Not knowing how many will be there. We found some, lying on the pavement.... too tired perhaps. Those are from sentral. Understand that they arrived 10 mins earlier. Wow.... so hardcore. Well not every plan goes as plan. The sentral riders were 3 hours behind schedule as they have waited for fellow riders.

Where is Pak Ndak!!! he should have been here in RnR Gurun. WTF.... Hahaha. No photo here as we are rushing to Changlun. The rides continue.

0615 HRS. STOP STOP STOP. We stopped for a Solat Subuh at the Tol Hutan Kampung. Prays to ALLAH to bless our journey, our ride with no problem until we return. The imam for the day is the one and only SIR in the group. Sir Syahir Syarafuddin. Haaaa over here there were plenty of photos. We displayed some here while the rest you have to view here

We have also distribute our Tee here to those who placed order earlier. Wanna see it? Mmmmm laterlah I show you.

Still don't ask me how many of us... the answer is still 'I don't know'. Treet treet wassup message. Some more waiting along the way up to Changlun. Our next stop is the Petronas Changlun

While the sun rise.... we go thru the cold wind of May... no birds to watch perhaps they run away due to our noisy exhaust

We arrived at the Petronas Changlun at about 7.15. This is our last top up of Malaysian cheap petrol. We love our country and we will support our national petrol. Perhaps I should ask the taukey of the petrol pump to sponsor us next trip. Hahaha. Give and take right.

Everybody is filling up. Mak ai... there were more than 40 of us. Damn it. Half of them I don't even know and I am riding with them.

A fast stop. 15 mins max. We will go for a breakfast. One of us suggest Marry Brown Changlun. Well why not. Lets go...

Arrrrgh it is not Marry Brown. Instead a mamak shop next to Marry Brown Restaurant HAHAHA. See our Pak Ndak selfie

After filling up our empty stomach now we can count. Not many lah. There were 46 of us. 23 leaving to Koh Samui, 1 in the middle while 22 escort.

We are already behind schedule so better enjoy our time. There must be plenty of visitors there in Danok. So no point rushing. Eat eat eat our last roti canai and teh tarik.

I will continue the write up later... in a new blog page. Enough for this one
