This is Endie Tuffile, your Malakoff Charity Ride main organiser.

For riders who moaned on why the route was so tough, this is the man you want to take your complaints to - actually LeTua, local riders like Ishak and the marshalls also helped draw up the route.

I asked Endie how he chose our rest stops, none of which were very large or well known.

He recce-d the route and sought out eateries that had less patrons, rationale being that the Malakoff Charity Ride would help these kedai makan more than it would the well-established ones.

Aside from giving these fledgling stalls an economic boost, he also checked if there would be enough space for riders and support team to be seated, and space for them to park all their vehicle.

There are probably more technical consideration, but Endie's done a super job.

Here's some pix of Endie and of
Kedai Makan Jatidiri (the signboard was pretty small, overshadowed by the sign for Kopi Jantan)
Kedai Makan Maznah

The rest stops at the ride also offered lots of ulam. Ulam here looked a lot fresher and more organic than what's available in KL.
