Ronda Riadah Makan 02/2012

EAK delivering the news to our members

Yesterday we had our 1st informal club meeting to announce a few good news to IRDA cyclists. We were all excited and happy with this new piece of information, and we were all in agreement that this is a good time to start being IRDA cyclists. There were several (interim) appointments to the IRDA Cyclists Club yesterday, and the appointments are as such:

• Interim Adviser :  Engku Ahmad Kamel
• Interim President : Fadzil Abdul Hamid
• Interim Technical Advisor : Hilmy Hussain
• Interim Safety & Fitness Officer : Mohd Shahriman Mohd Sodari
• Interim Marshall 1 :  Mohd Shahriman Mohd Sodari
• Interim Marshall 2 :  Muhamad Saidan Sanib
• Interim Treasurer : Nor Azyyati Ismail
• Interim Blogger : Iskandar Sabri Rahmat

After that, the resident IRDA pro cyclist, En. Hilmy Hussain, gave us around of knowledge sharing session of what are the components and parts of the bicycle and other related matters. It was certainly an informative session as most of us are beginners and the knowledge gained is another step towards us becoming cycling experts! Our club's main goal for this year is to cycle to Tanjung Piai by the end of the year!

After everyone agrees to contribute to a centralised bike fund (for food, medical and other club purposes) we all proceeded to change into our bike gear and set out for our 2nd Ronda Riadah Makan for the year 2012!

According to my trip computer, we had cycled a total distance of 15km, with and average speed of 20km/h. The route that we took yesterday can be viewed at this link here: http://soc.li/sQvYhwh (SS2).We had increased the number of participants to 8 this round. The participants yesterday were:
