My All Time Best Cycling Movies

You don’t see a lot of movies about cycling races made, perhaps cycling it is  not such a popular genre or less appealing compared other high grossing movies.

The list below is my  all time best cycling movies.

Breaking Away (1979):
This is one of the best cycling movies ever made. The story was about Dave, small-town teen obsessed with the Italian cycling team and of course a girl.

When a professional Italian bicycling team comes to town for a race, Dave is thrilled to be competing with them. However, the Italians become irked when Dave is able to keep up with and even speak to them in Italian during the race. One of them jams a bike pump in Dave's wheel, causing him to crash, which leaves him disillusioned and depressed.

Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin

Alhamdulillah, soon Muslims across the world will be celebrating Aidilfitri (Eid Ul Fitri), marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.  CA's and I, would like to seek forgiveness for any offense that might have be done unconsciously through this blog, or when replying to comments.

We wish all of you a meaningful celebration with friends, family and loved ones. For those who are travelling back to hometowns, please be careful and watch out your diet!

Salam Aidilfitri and Maaf Zahir Batin.

Recovery Training After A Long Break

We're coming to the last week of the holy month Ramadan and soon we'll be celebrating the Eid Mubarak. During the previous years we used to have night rides on Friday and/or Saturday nights to satiate the addiction to cycling.  This year however we seemed to have chosen to hanged our bikes for a good 4 weeks. That is a one costly long break.

To start back cycling is going to be really tough. The reason being is that when you stop exercising, you are going to lose your muscle, regardless of the amount of hard work and long hours spent on the wheels beforehand. This a one of the common situations that any cycling addicts or enthusiasts pass through at some point in their lives.

While the reasons for long breaks varies and could be due to accidents, domestic problems or just taking a break (while trying to figure out new hobbies), I'm just going to share my thoughts about getting back on bikes after the Ramadan break.
