Ok Folks, this is it. I'm posting something from the past. This ride was on sunny Sunday, May 23rd 2010. I just wanted to make clear that my recent state of hiatus has nothing to do with me hanging or selling my bike. My USPS TREK 5900 OCLV 110 is still intact, lying dormant, waiting to burn rubbers before the fasting month.

Well for the record , this has been the longest sabbatical ever to date. The thing is, It's not just the series of domestic problems but a combination of few things which I'm not particularly incline to divulge.

One thing for sure, to start riding back is so damn hard.

No one in this world are born to write a perfect condolence message. Of course, part of the reason is because things like this doesn’t happen most of the time. Unfortunately, we do have to face this problem once in a while.

Today, It is with the great sorrow that we learn the death of Abang Man and I struggled to find inspiration to write this condolence note. He left us his passion for cycling, his kindness, jokes, humility and above all a great friendship.

We extend our condolence to his family. May his soul rest in eternal peace and may Almighty give his family the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.

Amen..

I has been 2 month since my last post. Have no fear my friends for I'll be back on the wheels! Only this time I'll be chubbier than before but still faster than MiTador!

Yatta!

Are you reading the same contents in our blog for the past 2 months??? Me too. This is because Faizol aka blogger/reporter/journalist was either unable to rode, on school holiday/vacation, domestic problem or unreachable when I tried to contact him.

How about others?? Yes. We ride as usual on weekend.
Even as we rode on weekend for the past 2 months, I was not updating our activities regularly since I'm not a good story teller/writer/reporter. Besides, I don't have any riding pictures to sharing with.

Saturday's Sg Long route ride was a boring ride. Farizal and myself was the only members to shown. Abg ManTador just start pedaling while we already reached and waiting for him at RV point @ Kajang Perdana. Farizal and myself decided to continue riding without waiting for Abg Man and headed for usual roti canai at Tmn Sutera. We finished our roti canai before 9.30am and start pedaling back home. Wow... That was early. As for Abg Man... sorry for left you behind.

I received sms from MieTador on 8.30pm Saturday night asking for Sunday's ride plan. Immediately I texed to all Cycling Addicts members. Route: Putrajaya-Cyberjaya-PICC is on. RV point at Petronas Ikram @ 8.15am.

When I reached at RV@Petronas before 8.15am, Farizal, Zam "Besar", Zam "Kecik", Abg Man, Wan & Ah Meng already waiting for me. Where is MieTador??? He's running late again... We decided to continue without him as the sun start rising. While we catching our breath below the flyover near Cyberjaya, MieTador called asking our current location. He was riding with Romzi and already reaching PICC tried to chasing us. We decided to met at Mamak Restaurant @ Presint Diplomatik. We continue pedaling to Presint Diplomatik via PICC and Persiaran Selatan/Timur. Abg Man was struggling while climbing "Bukit Malang" as the other members are waiting for him at the top of the hill. Just a little advise for Abg Man... start practising high cadence and avoid big gears. After regrouping we continue heading to our meeting point @ mamak restaurant as Mie and Romzi already waiting with empty stomach. Everybody's having a heavy refuel at Mamak except Ah Meng who just sipping Teh O Limau and some power stick. We continue cycling via Kg Abu Bakar Baginda and was split at Sg Ramal heading back home.


Zam "Kecik", Farizal, Zam "Besar", Wan
