Ride with MTB Manjung
Sunday, 17 Jan 2010 - As i planned to go for another solo ride via Gelung Pepuyu, i received a test message late Saturday nite. There will be a group ride via Changkat Keruing. As my legs still weak, i decided to follow them, hopefully to complete the whole ride by staying inside the peloton.
About 15 riders for today ride, mixture of MTB and roadie. As i suspected, today’s ride will be mostly control by roadie. However, before hitting the Tengku Bainun bridge, the MTB group is leading up front.
There is a massive attack from the roadie on the bridge leaving the MTB guys way back on the climb. I however trying to stay on the fast group but my legs really giving me a hard time. The fast roadie slow down right after the bridge and i managed to regroup. About 7 roadie together we pick up speed again passing Damar Laut, Segari and soon come to a stop at Pantai Remis intersection. It was hard work, but it really worth it.
We rest and waited for the MTB group to arrive. We stop for 15minutes before the MTB groups leave first. They attack and we are doing at our best to close the gap. Strong headwinds causing the roadie group having difficult time chasing the front MTB group. Passing Bukit Tunggal, 2 roadie escape from our group and attack. I lead the rear peloton and soon Yong took over.
With the speed of 32km/h, i assume i’ll never able to join the MTB group. Remy came from the rear and attack at 42km/h. He overtook us and my peloton split again. I, Yong and some other roadie manage to stay behind Remy. With steady speed, we finally close the gap however Remy decided to go on. I stay in MTB group and rest my legs before following 2 roadie on the attack. With hot sun and strong headwinds, soon my legs giving up. 3 out of 6 MTB guys came from my back and i stay behind them for almost 3-4km.
Passing Kg Raja Hitam, i lead the group of 3 roadie up to Ayer Tawar junction. 1km to finish, both of them breakaway and i decided to cruise only the whole way till Ayer Tawar town. Together we waited for the remaining MTB guys to arrive before cruising into Ayer Tawar town.
Most of them stop for breakfast in Ayer Tawar. I, Yong and Kevin decided to stop at Sitiawan instead. It was a great ride with MTB guys. I didnt really clocked my time as we have done few stop to rest.

Taman Bukit Maju, Lumut
Bukit Maju is located in the entrance of Lumut town. It s a 1km stretch uphill towards the top of the hill. Its a very good place to build up your legs muscle as the slope getting steeper towards half way point of the climb.
For those looking for a route to train your climbing skills, Bukit Maju it is. It was been so long since i did my last climb here. It was hard, but i felt good.

Solo Ride....Again
It was Sunday, 3 January 2010. Step into the 3rd day of year 2010! I decided to go for a ride with my other fellow riders that just came back from tackling in the Malakoff Interstate Fellowship Ride in Penang on New Year day. Guess the luck riding with them doesn’t come true as it was down pour in the morning.
At 4.30pm, suddenly I decided to go for a short ride. While no one is riding in the evening, I guess it’s a solo ride again for me today.
I had just ride 40km few days ago and decided to go for another loop, same route but in the opposite direction. I left my house at 4.40pm and make my way to Kg Koh, Simpang Tiga, Simpang Lima, Kg Sg Wangi, Kg Baru and Kg Acheh. Riding in the evening its completely different than riding in the morning as the sun is still shining bright. The weather is so hot and very windy too. I have to ride into headwind for almost 80% of today’s ride.
I completed the whole course in a total of time 1h 20m for a 40km solo ride. Although I feel tired, I feel great that I managed to complete the whole course again today. Very small improvement for me.
See you guys soon!

Happy New Year 2010!
It was Friday, 1 January 2010. New Year Day!
As most of my fellow riders were tackling in the Malakoff Interstate Fellowship Ride in Penang, I decided to go for a short ride. While Yong is in KL celebrating new year day and Kwong Yew is no where to be contact, I guess it’s a solo ride for me.
I start from my house late around 8.00am and decided to take a 40km one loop through Kg Baru, Kg Sg Wangi, Simpang Lima, Simpang Tiga and Kg Koh. It has been nearly a month I was off from my bike and I wanted to take this slowly.
I completed the whole course in a total of time 1h 25m for a 40km solo ride. Not a good one but I guess I’m getting the feel back into biking. Will ride again soon!

Solo Test Ride
I was suppose to ride with MCT-Manjung riders for their monthly group ride to Teluk Batik. However, i doesnt feel well so i decided to go for a solo ride after a long rest due to rear wheel spoke broke.
Spoke has been replace and being true by Abg Jamal (Local Bike Shop). I was thinking to go for a slow ride, just to test out the wheels. I rolled out at 7.30am and headed to Lumut town. Passing by Samudera area, i saw Kumar was riding alone on the opposite direction. I make a U-turn and join Kumar for a slow ride to Lumut together.
We went for a loop and headed back early as Kumar need to drive to Melaka on the same day. Although it was a short slow ride, i begin to feel tired and my legs nearly cramp.
Gosh...only 22km and my legs already give up....looks like my bike will be hang permanently on the wall soon.
