SUSAN Plos has never received so many high-fives since her eight-day cycling trip through Cambodia.
That may change when her group of Far North riding buddies return to inspect a community shelter they hope to fund themselves.
Having seen the country’s struggles close-up on a visit last November – the group stopped in towns being helped by a charity called Build The Future – Plos felt compelled to chip in.
So her team have organised Conquer Copperlode – a unique race and social ride up the dreaded Lake Morris Road.
They hope to raise enough money to pay for a mother and child community centre in one of the poorest villages, 70km from Siem Reap.
“We were unsure of who to contribute to and how, but after seeing it in the works we saw it as a very sensible way to help people,” Plos said.
“Cambodia lost all its intellectuals so these small towns are just at the mercy of exploitation and Build The Future is all about educating them again in every aspect.
“The kids were just so happy to see us and I know this centre is something they can all benefit from.”

Set for September 28, Conquer Copperlode can be done as a road race, social road ride or social mountain bike ride up Clohesy River Road.
Lake Morris will be closed to traffic to ensure a safe descent, while riders can also party at the top with random prize draws, food and drinks.
The winners of the road race will be crowned King and Queen of the mountain.
To register for the race, visit registernow.com.au and select Conquer Copperlode or visit facebook.com/conquercopperlode for more information.

-Drgunzet- used to be a secret Yuon/Vietnamese agent/gook hiding in Khmer Rouges uniform and used to work with Hun Sen to kill many innocent and educated people during the Killing Fields. -Drgunzet- is a very ugly man looking like Chheang Vun with his shacky or shaking ass and walking like a duck by swinging body like an old Vietnamese/Yuon lady.
