Day 3 arrives and the weather was perfect for a bike ride, Hermes, Faster 2 students had spent the night on the banks of the River Pahang. They awoke and enjoyed their substantial breakfast - stocking up on carbohydrates to provide them with necessary energy they would need to complete their 52 km cycle ride.
The group then proceeded to dismantle their tents and everyone took part in a warming up and stretching excercise to loosen and prepare their muscles for the long cycle ride to their final nights campsite, again situated on the banks of the beautiful River Pahang.
Hermes students made their way off the sandy bank onto the road where they met a massive selection of bikes and after much kicking and prodding of tyres, and testing of brakes bikes were chosen and the convoy headed off down the road, a little after 9 am.
The 52 km ride was intermitted with various water and food stops throughout the day, with the whole group stopping to enjoy lunch at the 22km mark.

Wearing a huge smile and punching the air with joy the first student rode into Taman Negara at about 4.30pm. It then took about 45 minutes for the remaining Hermes second troop to cross the finishing line.
It was certainly a jubilant atmosphere as the pupils that had already completed the 52km challenge stood and cheered in the remaining pupis as they enjoyed the satisfaction of crossing the finishing line.
After many cheers, 'well dones' and plenty of high fives, the group made their weary way down the lane to set up camp for their last night above the banks of the River.
