Twilight Zone......

End of 2006 I went riding with my neighbors, Mr. Wahyu & Mr. Dhani Chagi. Both of them has been living nearby my house for ages, and I've known them for years. But strangely that day was the first time the three of us ever rode together. And sadly it'd probably be the last, since Dhani has transferred to Lampung province. We met quite a number of MTB-er along the way. Finally we started with 9 people. There were quite a number of incidents during the ride, but this is the most strange of them all......
At the steep rocky descent, Lilik - fellow motorolla biker - fell down and injured his knee. We all stopped and helped treat his injury. During that stop, Wahyu borrowed my tool - the Crankbros 19 multitool - to adjust his discbrake. It was quite foggy, and I could barely see more than 2 metres. While concentrating on Lilik's treatment, I could have sworn that I heard someone said that he wanted to borrow the tool from Wahyu. And I heard that Wahyu said yes. Again because of the fog, I couldn't recognize who he was, and since Wahyu did not complain, I thought it's got to be one of us. No problemo. Almost at the same time, a group of bikers passed by, led by Mr. Dian Chandra of Excelcom...also 9 people.

Afterward, we just started hammering until finally we reached the ngehek 2 post. Then Wahyu asked if I had received my tool back. I said no, and we started to ask everybody - including Excelcom riders, who the hell got my tools. Strangely, nobody has it, and nobody ever asked to borrow it from Wahyu during the incident. What the........

Finally, we all came to the conclusion that someone or 'something' has borrowed the tool. Well, the mountain is always full of mystery after all.....but why? nobody knows....(start playing the theme song of twilight zone)
