cycling test for jaya badge

Cycling Test For Jaya Badge

well.. i should be blogging about this yesterday.. but i was just too tired..

so
i decided to post it today

yea... so... two days ago , my patrol in scout , Kenyalang patrol went for cycling test
well.. our task is to cycle for 40 KM in 2 days including stopping for rest and etc..
and it was tiring....
we set of in the morning and reach our destination arround 2 o'clock..
so.. after that , we climb the mountain through some rout and reach an observation tower.. we didnt reach the peak but we reached one of the observation tower
of Mount Serapi
the view was great but i bet theres a better view up the peak.. well
i will know next time when i finish the climb..
well.. after climbing , we went down.. to tell ya the truth ,
i prefer going down much more than going up..
its more fun and less tiring..
well.. after that , we set up our tent and then it started to rain.. unfortunately ,
my tent been flooded by the rain water due to some reason..
luckily , theres a hut next to us..
so
that place became our resting place.. we place our bags there and start to rest
well.. it was like 5 o'clock and we had nothing to do..
we just went there and did nothing.. but wait for the rain to stop..
well.. it reached 6 o'clock and Yong Kai , the twins , and Daniel start to sleep..
i was thinking.. "how can people sleep this early".
"there must be an explanation"
"are they that tired from cycling"
well.. we people joining scout its all about using up all of what u got untill u turn exhausted
thats part of scouting exams and activity..
even that day i was so tired.. still i wasent that sleepy.

after resting for awhile.. i kept bragging about how early it was.. and saying
"by now , 7.30 i will be still eating"
and
"by now 8 , i wold be finished eating"
and
"i would be watching tv by now"
... yea.. in the end.. all of us wake up..
me , Daniel and Adrian went to the cement floor to cook
cause we are not allowed to cook on the wooden floor as it might catch on fire
that time the rain stopped..
so we cooked.. maggie mee (curry flavour)
on a portable stove..
so.. after cooking it , we left it on the stove and ate it like how people eat it in Korea
well.. it was nice cause u will eat anything when ur hungry
plus.. the weather was cold..
so.. yea...
after eating , we went back to the hut and started talking for a while..
after that , we began to sleep at 9.. well.. 9 was still too early for me to sleep..
i just layed down and rest...
and i kinda forgotten what happen..
well.. all i remembered.. i cant sleep that night..
each time i tried to sleep i keep dreaming of cycling and crushing..
the crushing part keep me awake..
i forgot the things that night.. so.. ill stop on it now..

the next morning..
we woke up the next morning feeling ok..
well..
when preparing the bikes to go back , some how ,
Adrian bike break broke.. so.. he hopelessly cant break...
we set off and it was almost down hill the whole way..
well.. Adrian found a creative way of breaking and it was by using his leg to push the break
to stop the wheel...
the scenery of the foggy forest was incredible.. too bad i didnt bring my camera along..
haiz..
well..
i tough it will be a nice day to cycle back.. but it didnt turn out that well..
my bike paddle broke in the middle of the way.. well the scru broke off and i repair it back.. but it wasent that secure ... so each time it feels like going loose , i had to make it tighter again..
well.. its all thanks to Adrian ..
he cursed me that my bike will get spoil..
well..
technically .. its my fault.. cause i ride too hard...
so... we all stop at a small stall to eat breakfast.. it was heavy.. which gave me energy..
so.. we cycled.. all the way back to the scout head quarters.. with delay cause of my paddle..
so we reached there in 5 hours 30 minute.. yea.. if we didnt have to stop that much then we can
reach there faster..
my dad was schock how long it took us to cycle.. well.. cause if u dont have people
who are used to cycling in ur group.. sure slow 1..
after this trip , my hand got soared with blister.. and my arm got sun burn.. yea..
i will upload pictures if i can get them from Yong Kai...
