His love for cycling is pay back karma for not having a bike when he was young, now he can't live without it. Was riding solo for nearly a decade until about a couple of years ago when he started venturing into group rides. His passion for MTBs skyrocketed from there and went into hyper-drive, as the saying goes, " The beginning of the END". Rather than cuddle up nice and cosy in bed on a Sun morning, he is a sucker for pain. Rides a dualie that's built like a tank and weighs like a truck. However, of late has been influenced by the Sith Lords and has ventured to the “dark side” of road riding. Joined the round table in 2004
Azmi aka Chief
This disciplinarian knight is fast on the dirt and speedy on the road. The whole community is in awe because he didn't believe in training. Everybody is curious if he has ever been to the "Dope Pope"? Everybody was wondering, until....a Chinaman in Teluk Bahang, let the cat out by telling another fellow cyclist, that this knight cycles to the Chinaman’s coffee shop everyday, religiously, rain or shine just to have a cuppa. Is the Chinaman his "Dope Pope"? Actually, no; the secret is the distance to the Chinaman’s coffee shop, which is some 30+km away from his house. Till today, he never admits visiting the Chinaman but he does admit to exercising “occasionally” because he needs to test new bikes and equipment; just to verify the manufacturer’s “bombastic” claims! Rumored to change bike quite often tho’. Senior KOTRT and original founding member.

Derek aka C.E.O
Very hard to catch whether going up hill or downhill. Will chase the faster riders the way Steve Mc Queen would in the famous Bullit movie chase scene. Climbed up Fraser Hill on his 50th birthday this year to mark the addition of road cycling chapter in his cycling portfolio. Since then, his speedometer has been showing figure identical to his age on a long flat road. Shares the same birth date as Osama bin Laden and known as a loose cannon for wrecking havoc in KOTRT's peloton. Joined the round table in 2001.

Hint, don’t be in his way when his mtb is pointed downhill! Always front and forward when trail recce and duty calls. Joined the round table in 2002.

Pang to my mates and “Mr Cute” to my admirers! Has never been the same ever since he took up mtb and road biking as a sport.

Someone was shouting; “Bike coming through!” I wrongly assumed the person was shouting at me but it was meant for Andrew Kuan.
