Date: Saturday, November 13th 2010 Route: Sungai Long Rider: Zaha, Suhaimi, Farizal and Faizol Saturday morning, dark clouds loomed over the horizon. There’s and old saying in Malay, “Langit yang mendung tak semestinya...
Suhaimi called me at around 7.30am asking about my location. To be honest, I told him that I’d be late (overslept actually). I was a bit shocked to know that he started cycling at 6.45am and was already at the the Sungai Long toll plaza.
Bounded by the pledge I made to myself not to miss weekend cycling under any circumstances with the exception of bad weather, sudden visit by parents or in-laws, alien stole my bike or dog ate my tires to oblivion, I cranked up my two wheels at 30-35 KM/h passing through the Sungai Ramal, Bukit Kajang burning all my NOS in the tank.
Darn, this HD video making is tedious. It's nice to have but a bit complicated to produce. Riding and video recoding at the same time is a challenging task. The technique however is...

Route: Sungai Long
Riders (from left): Zaha, Farizal, Romzi, Zack, Najib, Cikgu Sham, Syam, Azmi Cevello and Dr. Azlan
Last Saturday evening I received a text from Cikgu asking if there was a ride plan on Sunday. Given the current variables, the monsoon season, long list of open houses and weddings, it's a bit difficult to plan a ride in advance especially for long distance.
Missing the Sunday ride would be a blow to my fitness recovery plan as as I already missed Saturday's due to "undisclosed reason". The ride was set and it's Sungai Long, the safe plan. The thing about this route is that its easily guesstimated with a slight degree of variations.

The title sounded like Danzel Washington's Man on Fire (2004), one of many favourite movies of mine. But this weekend ride was not about a body guard who went out to hunt everyone involved in the kidnapping of his client's little girl. It's about Man"Tador" making a comeback after the Mantin-Ladu Interstate Ride. "The Man on Fire" is the most apt description there is to describe Bro Man's appearance that had everyone at Sungai Balak toll awed in amazement.
I almost forgot about the sunny Sunday ride on May 2nd. Anyway, better late than never. Farizal proposed to do Putrajaya route on Sunday but due to poor response we had to settle...

Going Dutch
Dutch Treat, Dutch Date and Going Dutch are variations of a common term for a slang, indicating that each person participating in a shared activity pays for himself or herself, rather than any one person paying for anyone else. Of course weekend ride has nothing to do with anyone paying anything but it describe the situation of late. Everyone went out at different times hoping to get lucky and met up with other riders. It seemed that no body was coordinating Sunday rides and everyone went "Dutch Treat".
