Sunday Ride: June 12th 2011

Zaha has been one resourceful ride organizer and since he’s out of range this week, the schedule was slightly a mess. Everybody was wondering what’s the ride plan. It’s even tougher especially during school breaks due to “domestic responsibilities”.

The guessing game is counter productive and I believe nobody likes to wait. So lets make it a rule that starting next week, all ride plan will be posted on the blog’s chat-box every Friday. We only save the text message for last minute changes.

This morning was my 2nd ride since the last hiatus. I felt better during the climbs even though my left thigh was strained. It was fun playing the attack game with Syamsul during the climbs. I’ve lost count how many warning beeps from the Sigma HRM every time the session reached the power zone.

There were only four of us at the 1st RV point, Najib, Zam Besar, Syamsul and me. Other than Zaha, the rest fell below the radar except for Saipol who seemed to retire from road cycling this year.

Through out the ride we came across rather big group of OTAIs (A local abbreviation for Old Timers) cycling on MTB headed towards Putrajaya at the Sungai Ramal (T) Toll Plaza.

The next one was a group of two roadies passing by as we were taking a break at the Kajang Perdana cloverleaf and the last one was Din from Taman Rakan while we took a break on top of the last hill.

We broke off at the Sungai Long intersection with Syamsul headed towards Sungai Sekamat while the rest of us went straight to the Joint. The legendary Chap-Ayam jersey Major Saipol, again, joined us for a drink. Good ride everyone

Abayo.

Beautiful Sunday Morning....

I guess bro Najib was in a hurry. He clearly misplaced his cycling glasses and gloves..

Major Saipol (The Legend) mungkin telah melabuhkan tirai aktiviti road bike dia tahun ni. Dia telah didapati menggunakan bahan terlarang semasa kayuhan hujung mimggu. Bahan tu telah dicampurkan dalm botol minuman dan kemungkinan besar ia merupakan minuman berperisa blackcurrent yang kebanyakkannya digemari oleh kanak-kanak berumur bawah 12 tahun.
