Family ride

Botanical garden 2011209 024

Today,when my wife and me went for our morning walk at Taman Botani,Putrajaya.We came across a family of one son and three daughters cycling.My wife was inspired by their family outing together and asked me whether she also could ride a bike.Of course,"You can!",I replied.By the way,my wife belongs to the old school of the 50's where ladies were discouraged to ride bicycles.On arriving home, I conspired with my son on how to teach my wife how to ride and get her to cycle with us.

On the way back,I met MKA and his riding buddy.

NB: Maher clocked 40km today on my Trek3700,max speed: 48km/hr at Sg Merab.

UKM Route

Speed VS Distance 191209

Altitude vs distance

First,let me thank my schoolmate Prof Jaafar Mohd Zain for this ride.We RV at Masjid Hassanah and began our ride at 8am.Before we started the ride,I was worried about the long climb and told Prof Jef to look behind for me just in case I can't pedal and wait for me.Yes,indeed it was a long climb but I managed to push myself,almost breathless to ride the uphill/downhill route of about 8km around UKM campus with no TNT.However ,we stopped at every 5km for water.The air is clean and fresh.I love to ride this route again.May be next year..

Cycling review for 2009

Looking at the outstanding km to ride,it is impossible for me to achieve this year target to cycle 2009km.However,I hope to clock at least another 90km more so that I could achieve 90% of my target.Looking back over the last 18 months of active MTB cycling,I am quite pleased with the distance covered,the fun and the friendship I had enjoyed and the fitness and health benefits I got from cycling.However,I am not quite happy about the skills and my knowledge on bicycle maintenance.From next year onwards,I should focus more on improving my riding skills and physical endurance.And of course I must get a new MTB because my son wants my Trek3700.

Year 2009
2009.00 km between Thu, Jan 1, 2009 and Thu, Dec 31, 2009
[All]
Progress: 85%
1717.14 km at 13.41 km/h
A distance of 291.86 km remains. At current average speed, 21.8 hours of ride time required. An average daily distance of 17.17 km required. You should have completed a distance of 1920.93 km by today.

Sunny and dry ride at Putrajaya Wetland

Let me thanks everyone who came for this morning ride.The weather was fine all the way,but alas,due to dry weather for the last one week, a few of us were disappointed that the 'submerged trail' we expected was as dry as a bone.Anyway, we tried to make it as good as we can by extending our ride to Precinct 10 and rode the boardwalk and returned via Precinct 8-my little Secret Garden behind the Masjid Putra.

There were 14 of us,four decided to return to base after 15km ride,the rest continue for another 10km.One of my friends got pulled by the gravity(DH stretch),decided to test his speed and off he went alone.One of us tried to call him but he was gone.We lost him after PM Residence but managed to contact him later.Anyway, he got back to base safely.Distance covered is about 25km in 1hr 40 minutes.Thanks to Muhaimy for leading the tribe.

On the X'mas Day,we plan to ride at Bukit Cabaran in Putrajaya.Saifuddin has agreed to lead the ride.

Today,I decided to take a little risk to ride the unfamiliar road around Sg Ramal Dalam and Bandar Baru Bangi.The area surrounded by the square shaped trail is a thriving Malay community living those in the kampong.There were a lot of uphills and downhills along this route.Distance covered was 8.39km in 36 minutes.

Putrajaya Walk 081209 007

Most tourists only see the front view of the Masjid Putra.They don't have the time to go around it.For a local like me,I love to walk around around it and savour its beauty..

Many a time, the front part looks nicer than the back part.The back portion gets lesser attention to be cleaned more regularly and properly maintained.Similarly with life.

By the way,I took this shot as my wife and me taking a morning walk here yesterday.I love the view!

The sign is loud and clear this morning.When I was climbing the hill,I had a real problem changing my gears and the shock absorbers in my forks are almost kaput.Syed Din and Elda had put a timely 'racun'(poisonous suggestion) that I must change my bike.I happily concurred with their wise suggestions.

To the new comers to MTB cycling at FRIM(Saifuddin and son),I am glad that you guys enjoyed the ride.To everyone who rode with me this morning,my thanks for your great company.

I hope to ride at FRIM again next year,insyaAllah.

Note: I took 1hr 50 min to ride a distance of 17.72km today.Max speed at 41.8km/hr.
Attendees: Pak Kaman and his son Adib,Asri&Saadiah,Sy Din& Elda,Saifuddin and his son Maher Hafeez,Atok and me.
