During the weekend, I went for a mountain biking jamboree at Chamang, Pahang. Chamang is off Bentong town and Bentong town is an hour from Kuala Lumpur via Karak Highway.
The ride was for 30 km. The first 10 km is on road followed by off road and hill for the next 10 km and ending with on road for the last 10 km.
During the mid 10 km, the journey will bring you thru a breath taking view thru a river. If you were tired, I'm sure your tiredness will be hijacked by thoughts of connecting yourself with nature.
It was my first jamboree. I was glad for completing it and going thru it non-fatiguely.
The jamboree thought me a few things:
1. Almost all the riders don't warm up before the ride. It's fair to mention that there was only 5% of the riders who warm up. On 2nd thought, I think it was much lesser than 5%.
2. Many riders start of cycling as a mean to lose weight and as they become fitter, performance becomes the focus.
3. You will have a choice to stop or to continue. The answer depends on your mental toughness.
