The ride was not all smooth sailing for participants.
Azli (not Hazli), a pretty strong rider took a tumble when coming in to the lunch stop (Kedai Makan Maznah at Kampung Serating).
I hope Azli won't mind ...here are the pix.
What I heard was that he was knocked out for a while.
His legs tired, he couldn't get his cleats to unlock, and tumbled badly.
When he came to, the first thing he asked after was if his bike was ok. Next he asked about the frame, the brakes and the gears.
He had pretty bad cuts on the cheekbone, nose and he cut his lip.
His injuries could have been worse. Saved by his helmet, and helped by the quick response of the first aid team.
Azli decided, wisely, not to continue. He was sent back to KL immediately.
Here's to quick healing and get back in the saddle soon.

The fallen man was Noor Azli Sawari or Azli.
You are really a tough guy, Azli. We knew you wanted to carry on riding the last 30km after the fall but we managed to convince you to stop and took a rest. I'm sure the wound will heal before next year's ride. We shall ride together until the finishing line. But please don't fall again!
