Firefly Night Race Successfully Completed! January 28, 2010 09:00:30The Firefly Night Race, South East Asias first-ever 1000km night-only ride for charity, successfully concluded in the Southern Thai town of Sungai Golok on 24 January at 8.30am. Nine cyclists from all walks of life had set off five days earlier from East Coast Park, Singapore - braving inclement weather, hazardous roads, and both physical and mental fatigue - to raise money for the ACES Creative Social Enterprise Fund. Along the way, they received excellent support from their hardworking support crew and the Royal Malaysian Police as they navigated the eastern coastal route northwards along the West Malaysian Peninsula. "We have different needs and different aspirations, but being able to come together gives me a sense of achievement already," said team leader Lyndon Yeo at the start of the ride, when queried on the difficulties he and his cohorts would face. Lim Su Pei, support crew leader and project coordinator for the Firefly Night Race, said: "Apart from the four accommodations arranged along the way, the team will make various small pit stops along the way", referring to the arduous route and the challenges facing the riders in terms of refuelling and recovery between stages. Rider Tay Choonwei, who is also the manager of local bike shop The Bike Boutique, summed up his motivation for committing the event - on a singlespeed bike no less - for charity as well as for a self-challenge: "Because I can!" The riders have raised more than $20,000 so far, and hope to garner more support from individuals and corporations to contribute to their cause. - [Read more] |
