Gunung Jerai, I've made it!!

I've missed out the fun last week and i'm going with khoon, huat, xtr xian and kk this time..
We departed late because i'm late, searching around for my ID card.. I think i've lost it at my previous ride.. :(
We unload our bike and started to ride..
"It's not as steep as 84 Botanical Garden" I said to myself.. and yes it really does..
The thing that taking out my confident is not steep this time, it's LONG... We have to keep continue cranking to the peak.. sure we can rest laa.... there are huts for us to rest, but in order to go up to the peak, we have to continue no matter how...
I stop to wait for our gang at the 1st 2 huts, but later on, i carry on my ride alone, can't really wait for them because my muscles will get cold and unable to ride...
I've to admit that it's pan, but not as pan as the previous penang ride.. The big issue to make me wanna stop this time is my back... I can feel the pain, real pain... My back cannot support the weight and the momentum i've made during cranking up... I've to stop and stretch my body almost every single km after 5km of riding... :S
I told myself that i cannot give up no matter how... I am here and i want to go to the peak!!
But i nearly give up at the 9th km, it's pain which stops me from going further.. I stop, stretch my body and legs, and switch on the songs.. There i go again... :)
"kns!!" The place i nearly gave up is only a corner away from museum... i'm kinda happy that i've reached musuem... There are 2 more km to reach the peak...
I crank up and tell myself it's near already... When i'm fighting with my mental to go up, i saw Huat sprinting down. He took an emergency brake and u-turn to go up to the peak again with me... "This guy is crazy!" I told myself.. I've half dead, fighting with my mental to get up so high, and i probably will ignore anyone who ask me to go up again if i come down from the peak..
But this guy!! He is like, the energizer battery cartoon... Energetic!!
I was trying my best to ride, can't talk at all and this guy... He overtook me and keep talking with me.... I'm wondering where the hell he has so much energy...
We stop at the peak for awhile, drinking water and stretch my body abit, and then we headed down to museum to meet khoon..
While we were chatting at museum, xtr xian and kk called us... They said they are coming up to meet us... And you know what???!! They come up with a lorry... They stop a lorry and ask him to send them up... wtf?!!
Downhill is the best part for gunung jerai, no need to crank at all.. We can smell the burnt v-brake and disc brake smell during downhill.. I was doing to fast and nearly fall somewhere near a sharp corner..
