RLC Harriers Run 862, 21 April 2015

Hares : C K Leong and Dato Lee Seng Chuan

Runsite : Gasing Car Park

Weather : Threatening to rain but held off until after Circle and food

As we gathered at the new car park, we marvelled at our luck to have

such a facility that is private, big enough for our chapter, has

toilet facilites, so close to the entrance to Gasing Hill Nature

Reserve and yet so far away from residents who have complained about

our noise in the past. For convenience, we shall henceforth refer to

this place as the Gasing Car Park.

At the hour of 6.00, GM Woon pressed his roti horn and off we went

right to the entrance to the nature park. It was up, up and up until

we hit a check which was quickly broken by UY and Mike Kuan. Then the

trail led to the "abandoned" Indian temple at the top of the hill and

then down again along some concrete drain leading to the reservoir.

Another check was broken and soon we were going down the hillside

where we could see Old Klang Road with Veloo leading the pack as he

was very fortunate to find the previous check down a rubber hose.

The trail led down and then up along a new road before going into some

more jungle. Then we emerged at the temple road and we went down and

did a u-turn into the verdant jungle of Bukit Gasing. Near a stream

there were two signs; straight on for the normal route and left for

the short route. I took the left and was FROP at 66 minutes followed

by Lim Boon Hiong and Kumar. For the normal run, our Mike Kuan was

FROP, followed close on his heels, by our new member, Sam who could

not keep up with the wily Old Quiksilver Fox at the final stretch.

At the car park, some one came with a 60 katty burnt offering. It has

been a long time since we last had such a delicacy as appetiser. The

queue was long but everyone had a decent share. Thank you, Dato Lee

for the treat.

The Circle was, as usual, hilarious ; alas, we soon ran short of beer

so it had to be truncated when Dato Lee shouted "Food is served!"

The on-site meal was the crowd favourite of chicken rice and chicken

leg soup. We all tucked in with gusto. Meanwhile, Tarzan, living

nearby, made a dash and came back with two cases of Carlsberg to be

chilled and shared.

Chew Leng Soon, one of the hired hares, brought out a bottle of 12

year-old Old Parr and we partook eagerly. We ate and we drank and we

all had a good time. Pity the drizzle came and made us leave a

wonderful site of fun and enjoyment.

================================

Message from the Grandmaster:

At the last run, there were some murmurs that beer had run out too soon.

A crate (quarter barrel) was added as soon as the barrel finished and thereafter

another crate was added (sponsored).

In order that section members may get a better understanding, please realise the

cost of beer has gone up and here's some info for you to better understand:

Annual Subscriptions from 105 section members rm20 x 105 x 12 = rm25,200

Annual Expense is rm608.50 (per barrel) and rm90 (water & Isomax) x 48 runs = rm33,528

That represents a shortfall (loss) of about rm160 per run. This is partly offset by

guests and events which make money.

The grandmaster suggests that additional beer be made available when there is an

excess of 10 paying guests. Additionally, the hare is free to sponsor additional beer failing
