@Sungai Long's hill

It was a beautiful Sunday morning. The sky was blue and it was not as windy as Saturday where at some point the gushing winds blew like the speed of 60-70km/h (just my gut feel).

To be honest, I'm not really a fan of afternoon rides for a few reasons. One, the traffic is busier. Two, it definitely is hotter hence I usually get dehydrated faster and  three, the air is less fresh in the afternoon. But given the challenges of both domestic and work related commitments, afternoon ride does look as a better option compared to not riding at all,  provided that it doesn't rain.

@ the Pit Stop near Bandar Sg. Long

Honestly, It's frustrating to miss weekend rides. But sometimes thats the way it is. Its something that one can plan but circumstances may change.

This reminds me of James Clavell’s Shogun. The part where back in Anjiro, Mariko was telling Anjin-San (Blackthorne) not to worry about the future. That the Japanese lived a simple life. Tomorrow doesn’t exist, only today, now.  In someway the line does make sense but its a matter of thoughts.



It was late Friday evening and the sky was dark, rumbling with lightning and thunder. From my house, I could see dark clouds over Putrjaya and KL.

I quickly texted Farizal asking him if he was still keen on PCM. The answer I received was just baffling and confusing. Instead of a simple yes or no, he answered me in a perplexing manner...something about KL was already raining and Putrajaya might just had a rain splash... Hmmm still persistent...So I told Zaha the plan was still on....regardless...


I am 3 minutes down my best time on Sungai Long route, an obvious degradation of fitness. It's something that needs remedy and it's a simple one...Do Not Miss Weekend Ride for this shall be my mantra...

I usually don't prefer to ride on Friday morning should holiday break fall on it but considering the fact that Farizal had given Saipol his word that we'll ride when the chance comes, I just couldn't bail out.

This time around Saipol was the Ride Master for Friday ride(the one who arrange the ride plan and send invites). After a string of well coordinated psychological campaign to lure him back to road,  I think we've nailed it guys, Saipol is back and on fire.... YeeeeHawwww!
