MfMC Activity...Spread the Message...Create the Awareness

Cyclists getting ready

Our first activity was a night group bicycle ride from Kuala Kubu Bharu to Fraser's Hill on the eve of our Merdeka day this year. About 20 cyclist joined the ride with another about 10 team members joined the cyclists in 5 support cars. We named the ride as "Merdeka-Raya MfMC Night Ride".

People asked about the ride. Why night ride? Why Fraser's Hill? What was the relevance of the ride and the mission? All sorts of questions. The answer is very simple. 

Some of us...just before we started the ride

MfMC had just been created in August this year by us, a group of triathletes, swimmers, runners, climbers and last but not least concerned citizens. We have been doing all these activities for years and of course for the fun of it. Then we decided that while doing these activities, we can still contribute to the society by doing it for a cause, for a reason and not just for the fun of it. Hence, we continue to do what we love doing and at the same time we are able to contribute something to the society.

It is about killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

Cyclists in action

We thought that doing a group night ride up to Fraser's Hill was a crazy idea. But hey! We are a bunch of crazy people. So, let's do it!!! It is ok to be crazy (in a good way) so long as we are within the safe boundary. Whatever it is, safety comes first

The first group reached the tower clock at 2:30am

 
We were supposed to start our ride at 9:00pm. But we plan, Allah decide. We finally started our ride 2 1/2 hours later. Our re-grouping session was at Gap, where we took a break of about 1/2 hour because from Gap to top of Fraser's Hill was a real climbing of about 700m elevation. Allah was with us and all of us reached the peak at the clock tower at about 3:15am on 31st August 2012. 

 

The pot luck and get together

We then had Raya pot-luck. We descend from Fraser's Hill back to Kuala Kubu Bharu at about 4:30am and safely reached Kuala Kubu Bharu at about 6:00am. Cycling down from Fraser's Hill in the dark was very dangerous, hence we put the bike on its car rack and drove down.
