Backyard Cyclework Pokok Mangga Hill Chaser

The uphill sprint mini-event was held on Monday @ 6pm at Jalan Krau 1, Raub. We named it "Backyard Cyclework Pokok Manga Hill Chaser", because the finish line was at the top of the hill near 'Pokok Mangga' (mangoes tree), sponsored by Backyard Cyclework..6 riders participated in a 500meters sprint 4.8% gradient Bukit Mangga Hill. We will be organizing another uphill event at notorious Bukit Cincin soon, and hope more riders will join in.
