Preparation for the ECC Burung Hantu Jamboree / ECC Night Ride Jamboree 2012

Just before I went to sleep (continue from last night), thought of about preparation for tomorrow night ride jamboree at Malacca, called ECC Burung Hantu (Owl) Jamboree. What should I bring together. Let me share my preparation so, some of you might want to make as the guide, as you are not so sure what to bring together during the night ride.. remember, it is a night ride, in the dark, in the trails.. I heard the distance is about 50 KM, an increased about 5 KM from previous year. Yeeahhaa..

Here are my checklist:

1. Bike Preparation (My standard for any off road ride)

• Spare tube. Bring two is better.
• Pump.
• Basic tools - allen keys, chain tool, some spanar & screw driver. Better bring the compact tool that you can buy from the bike shop.
• Water bottle with water - Minimum is one bottle. Normally in jamboree, water should be an issue, however with the overwhelming participation in this event, heard about 2,200++ participants, you might not depends 100% with the organizer. Bring your own water, two bottle if you could.
• Plastic bag for avoiding wet - keep your mobile phone & car key from getting wet.

2. Addition preparation for jamboree event (not a normal off road ride)

• Energy food - For average riders, we will take longer time to finish a ride in a jamboree. Some organizers provide a banana fruit to the rider. However, for a better planning, just bring your own energy food. I will bring the chocolate bars like the Sneakers or any other brands. I normally bring two bars.
  
  For better & faster absorption, use the Power Bar gel. It will be easier to keep & faster in effect with longer energy support.
• Headlight & tail light - since this is a night ride jamboree, a good front headlight and tail light should be your best friend. Most of the head light using a rechargeable batteries, however, please bring together a spare / extra batteries in case your rechargeable battery run out fast. Check your light battery type before buy the spare batteries.
• Rain coat
• Muscle Relaxation gel / cream - I am using Flanil while my biras is using Yoko Yoko.
• Plastic bag / special bag with compartment for dirty clothes
• extra Clothes for replacement

Alright, see how I will get out from tonight jamboree..

Keep on updated.
