I am non-regular
Should be joining tomorrow Wednesday though, even if it's just to welcome back the snail queen.

Anyone interested in watching/riding/photographing Cyclone Sprint Challenge this Sunday? I'm divided between riding, racing, photographing, or go support/photograph gf at Shape Run (unlikely, else may be branded chee ko pek there).

Another thing to note is that the ferry service operates based on max head count (10 or 11 people). It will not leave until the head count is reached unless the people there agree to top up for the balance head counts. So it will always be easier to go as a group of 8-11 ppl so that everyone can chip in for the balance. Else, there can be a long wait for the ferry to fill up.

Alternatively, there is a longer route of ~120km... (or 138km from Longhouse) We reached Pengarang at 12pm last Sat and the boat we took had just 5 persons, including two of us cyclists and our two bikes... so the 10-11 person may only apply during peak hours (after 2pm, I think). Or maybe we were just lucky.

how to carry my camera while on my bicycle? Is Off Trail 1 sufficent if im using D90 wif the kit lens??? I dont like backpack as it wull be very warm for my back.. LOL... but if i strap it to my waist.. will it be bad for the lens?

Excessive vibrations are no good.
Carrying a back pack raised the CG whilst cycling.
Try a pannier bag instead.

Cheers

Try to pin point where the sound comes from.
Squeeky sound most like is the crank, paddles or handle.
Maybe you can narrow down to which part of the bicycle, then from there source out.

the centre of the paddles.

the centre of the paddles.

Maybe you can try spraying some lubricant on the part where the paddles are connected to the crank.
And also the crank to the BB.
See whether that helps.
