A journey of my life

After one of the running sessions at Seri Hartamas with Harum's group, we were lepaking, enjoying roti canai & teh tarik while discussing organizing a riding trip on a bicycle to somewhere. Then Fiza & me mentioned how nice the route Sg. Koyan - Ringlet on a motorbike. Suddenly, they kinda agreed to do this route which I think will be quite challenging because the last 40km near Ringlet, it will be uphill all the way. But since many of them are avid cyclists if not Ironman, they said sap sap sui la... I think it means kacang jer ni. Fiza & I went to Sg Koyan on motorcycles, before that we stopped at Janda Baik to eat durian kampung at OP Doc Shah's orchard and follow with lunch. Then we waited for the rest of the group at Pekan Bentong. Radzy helped transport Fiza's bicycle while I'm volunteering to drive a support car... am I clever or what? Actually, my butts swelled from Audax 200km ride 2 weeks before. I don't think I can sit on a seat post any ...

It was the first time I rode the longest distance in a day just slightly more than 200km. We started from Kapar early in the morning towards Kuala Selangor, passing by Sekinchan then turned right at Sungai Besar heading to Felda Soeharto for a lunch break. After 30 minutes break, we continue cycling to Bestari Jaya and then back to the start line after 12 hours of cycling. I consider it quite an achievement with sore butts after the event. Btw, on the way back Fiza was so tired while riding, she hits the divider. Luckily the damage wasn't so bad. This a reminder to have a good rest before continuing the journey.  

It was my first visit to Jerantut. The ride was changed from fellowship to race in 11 hours. The route was rolling but no steep climb. I used big crank all the way and clocked 4:59 to finish line. Sub 5... yeay!! Kena tapau dgn Fiza. Kuat dia ni skrg.

When Putrajaya Night Marathon cancelled last Saturday by the organizer due to unhealthy API reading, Fiza invited me to join her in Melaka Century Ride on Sunday. She managed to get race bib for me and off we go to Melaka for race kit pick on Saturday afternoon. At night, Team Fosfit invited us to join them carbo-loading at Bandar Hilir Melaka. Thanks Team Fosfit! Race kit pick-up and carbo-loading   Meeting up many usual faces at Dataran Sejarah Ayer Keroh, OP Team like OP Sean, OP Dato Sam, OP Advance Tan, OP Mat Lan, Rizal, Ghaz, Boon, Chin, Karen and many others were there.  Start line MCR 2015 was my first Century Ride in 7 years. The first and last Century Ride I participated was Ipoh Century Ride in 2008. It was the longest distance I rode since Ironman 2010. With very minimal training, only 6 rides this year and I cycled less than 10 times for the past 4 years, I managed to finish the event in 5:46 hours despite the hazy & hot weather plus endle...

The longest ride in one day. Finished in 6hrs 48mins but I was suffered...... I cannot imagine, in Ironman after cycle 18okm, have to run 42km... ohh before that swim 3.8km... giler la.

For two consecutive days I went cycling. On Friday, I went mountain biking at the Sg Buloh-FRIM route with Alan Tan (my ex-colleague in Frost). The day after, I went cycling at the Bt18-Sg Tekala loop with OP Shazly & OP Stupe. Lucky me, Shazly lent me his bike but the saddle was to high for a shorty guy like me. Ended up using Stupe's bike most of the time. With my KONA Cinder Cone Spectacular view at Semenyih Dam With Ironman-to-be OP Shazly & OP Stupe
