Sunny Sunday!

It's January and already the schedules and tight deadlines are falling into places. 2009 was undoubtedly was a fast paced year, I doubt that his year is going to be any different.

Saturday, Jan 23rd:
I did a solo ride of the Sg. Long route. Started a bit late as my kids had "Ko-Ko" day at their school and they started as early as 7.30am. I had to drop them off at 7.15AM.

"Ko-Ko" day? Back in the old days, at least during my school time it's called "Ko-K" [pronounced: ko-kay].

Ok folks, we have ourselves here a proposal, the broga jantan loop.

Looks pretty tough here. The RV is Tekala Recreational Park. For those who had tried this loop, please share with the rest on the ride plan.

It's this route, Mantin or dubel lup. Decision decision decision.


Climbing the Sg. Long hills

There weren't any solid ride plan to start with. The uncertain weather condition wasn't helping either.

Saturday, Jan 16th 2010:

Anyway...Saturday 17th ride was a refreshing one. I started a bit late from Sg. Balak Toll Plaza at around 7.50am. Farizal and Zaha were already on their way to our usual assembly area near the Kajang Perdana clover leaf.

From there Farizal suggested that we cycle to Putrajaya via the Lebuh Timur Route. It has been a while since our last ride via this route. The traffic was a bit busy while the weather was a little bit hot and humid.

We cycled our way at around 30-33KM/H via the SILK, SKVE towards Putrajaya and through to PICC via Persiaran Timur's road. We came across Man CIOCC's clan who were about to cycle to Jln Limau Manis near Sungai Merab.

We parted ways soon after a brief chat and photo session and continued through Precint 2 and straight to Precint Diplomatic for a pit stop. After refueling we cycled through Jalan Ayer Hitam back to Kajang.

Finally, I started cycling again after 1 month off.

From the outset, last weekend was meant to be a warm up rides. Started the Sg. Long route with casually and tried to catch up different paces as much as possible. Overall it went well except for the climbing part where I struggled in that department a bit. I guess its just natural when you don't ride for a while.

Sunday ride was merrier as Farizal (recuperating with injured foot while "MTB"ing with Saipol), Zack, Zam, Zaha and Saipol joined the ride.

As 2009 passed by, we welcome 2010 with new hopes and yes we still haven't done the PD ride. Last year was not that all disappointing but yes the thought of Beppe who rode alone injured with his heavy bike and aged at 63 said it all. The will was absent, we just don't have the mojo.
