R.U.N.3 Port Dickson - FINALISED

Hi all! Firstly, Happy New Year!
Here are the finalised details of the trip.

(i) Attendees:
1. Maz
2. KK
3. CY
4. HF
5. WX
6. Huda
7. Huisi

(ii) Accomodation:
Address: Lot 3880 No 1. Batu 12 Jalan Pantai, Port Dickson
Type: Bungalow with 3 rooms
According to the map, seems like it's by the sea. But don't expect it to be fantastic coz it's in the residential area.
Fee: FREE

(iii) Logistics
We'll be bringing some spare parts along but mostly are for the manual bikes coz auto bikes shouldn't have any problems at all. Items include:
Tyre repair kit (for autos)
Spare tyre, tyre tube, cables, coil, gasket, nuts blah blah

(iv) Common Fund
We will be collecting S$10 and S$20 from auto and manual bikes respectively. This common pool of money will be used to reimburse the purchase of spare parts and finance the expenses of commonly shared items like food. The remaining fund will be used to pay for our dinner before we head back to Singapore on Sunday night. In case you're wondering why manual bike riders are paying more, it's coz of the spare parts that we have bought.

So please pass me the money on Fri night when we meet at KTM. SING dollars please. No payment means you will jaga our bikes outside the house while we sleep comfortably indoors! haha

(v) Things to bring:
1. Passport
2. Raincoat and riding jacket (like I've mentioned before, night riding will be cold. Please ensure you have proper jacket to keep you warm.)
3. Cash card with minimum balance of S$5.
4. Extra clothing - some of us might be interested in sea sports. If you're keen pls standby more clothing. Then again, speaking from past experience! I think you should juz standby the extra clothing juz in case you get thrown into the water or something.
5. Other personal items.
6. Good to have: Noise canceling earphones or earplugs, cards, radio, speakers, frisbee (this i assume KK will bring), suntan kit etc etc.

(vi) Things to note
1. Please ensure your helmet has proper untinted visor unless you want to experience temporary night blindness, savour grasshoppers and dragonflies along the way or decorate your lovely faces with the 'flying' stones on the way.
2. For people with short-sightedness, you might want to consider wearing your specs instead of lens for the riding journey coz the hours of riding will make your eyes uncomfortable.
3. Money. In case you're wondering how much money to bring, RM150 (i.e. app S$65) should be sufficient for petrol and food.

And finally finally, meetup arrangements:
Meeting venue: KTM
Date and Time: 2nd Jan (Fri), 11pm (latecomers will buy everyone teh!)
Departing from Tuas Checkpoint
Returning on 4th Jan evening

That's all. 2 more days to go! Woohoo!

Updates on R.U.N. 3

Hi all! Latest updates on R.U.N.3!

Date of departure: 2nd Jan (Fri night)
Time: 11pm
Meeting Venue: KTM

We will meet at KTM for supper then head for Tuas Checkpoint. Expecting to reach Checkpoint at 1am.
Upon clearing the checkpoint, we will stop at the first stop, Gelang Patah, to pump petrol then the fun begins!

Expected time of arrival at Port Dickson: Sat morning, latest 6am
Accomodation - fyi, I actually managed to get an apartment at Blue Lagoon (seaview nice private apartment). However coz it only has 2 rooms which will be too small to fit all of us comfortably, we've opted for a bungalow house instead. This bungalow house is in residential area along 12th Mile (some sort of the street name). So don't expect it to be like hotel standards okay. Good enough to rest and catch ample sleep though.(it's FREE btw)

Departure from Port Dickson: Sun morning, 10am
Expected time of return (at Sg Checkpoint): Latest 6pm (do expect some delays if there's jam)

Things to bring:
1.Passport
2.Cashcard with minimum balance of S$5 (to pay toll over at Tuas Checkpoint)
3.Raincoat
4.Clothings
5.Malaysian ringgit
6. As we're travelling into the night, it's going to be pretty cold. Do standby extra clothings or jackets to keep you warm. You might want to consider bringing a pair of riding gloves as well.

Please drop by regularly to latest update on things to bring list.

As we're covering a considerable distance this time round, we'll be bringing more spare parts along JUST IN CASE of breakdowns. Hence, if there is no major objection, we would be collecting a small amount from everyone. With that common pool of money we'll get the spare parts. We have factored in the parts for both auto and manual bikes. So no worries. The remaining money will be used to buy food and stuffs for whole group's consumption. Will upload the list of spare parts to get once the guys confirm the list.
