Challenge 5: We Came, We Ride!

Our 5th RUSH Challenge (and arguably our toughest yet) brought teams to FF Menara Axis. As mentioned before in the previous entry, for the first time since the RUSH Challenges began, teams actually had to RUSH and compete for places for the RPM and RPM Challenge classes slotted at 630pm and 730pm respectively. Previously all classes were held at 840pm to ensure that most, if not all participants were able to attend the class.

There was a limit of 10 bikes for RUSH-er's for the easier 630pm class while for the RPM Challenge class, it was on first-come-first-serve basis. RUSH-er's will have to register for bikes as any other member would for the RPM Challenge class.

I left the office on the dot yesterday evening (I work near Phileo D'sara) at 530pm in anticipation that I would make it to Menara Axis by 545pm (it usually takes me bout 15 mins to reach there from work). Simon called me earlier to warn me to try to leave on time as it was raining like cats and dogs (and cows and sheeps too!) and it didn't help when I got stuck in front of Menara Axis to make the U-turn for more than 20 minutes. The traffic light was out and it was still out when we left Axis after that! Deng!

By the time I reached, all RUSH bikes have been snapped up and I have to wait for the RPM Challenge class after that. There were still some bikes in the studio, but all 10 spots have been snapped up (How lah did they avoid the hectic traffic? All ponteng kerja issit?! :P) So I sat down at the lounge while chatting to Nina while looking at Osmy and Kak Nita doing their BodyJam. Decided to join them during the 2nd half of Krump Klub to warm me legs a little before the cycling torture. Haha.

Nat had originally intended to attend the 630pm class with Simon but couldn't make it as her she had problems with her parking ticket. KK left his office at about 6pm and I first thought wouldn't be able to make it due to the heavy rain and heavy traffic on the Federal Highway. Jason was optimistic to make it juz in time, but the heavy rain didn't make it possible. In the end, Simon attended the first RPM class, while myself, Nat and KK attended the 2nd RPM Challenge class with our friends from Tropical 5, and cycling enthusiasts Dennis and Nina! Jason... Hmmm... Makan dua buku ajelah! :P

After the three of us rode with Wes Carter, we came out of the cycling studio feeling so RELIEVED (the class was not bad actually, particularly LOVED the cooldown and stretching tracks) and then we approached Alvin to obtain our next clue for RUSH Challenge #6. But before we were given the clue, we were asked to solve a 3X3X9 Soduko puzzle. Nat and Osmy were experts in this game and we solved in about 5 minutes. We then proceeded to collect the next clue from Teoh, the new GXM of FF Menara Axis.

We heard after we showered that team Disney from Leisure Mall had trouble in solving their puzzle and one of their team members, Scott, opted to do 100 push-up's as a penalty for not solving their puzzle. Poor thing. Alvin, you so bad lahhh!
