Due to that also, I'm unable to upload any photos in either my FB or Flickr accounts...but no worries.....I'll load em up...someday....somehow.....hehehe...so stay tuned...=p
Well....so many things has happened in these past few months....been doing a lot of riding.....I've participated in a bike hash in Felda Adela, Kota Tinggi....consistently riding the twice weekly Nite Rides with the Tamago's...a number of NR's with friends as well as few solo rides...a couple of rides with Cyclemotion to Plentong, Kota Tinggi and Ulu Pulai...a ride with Soleh and his Custom Officials buddies to Kangkar Pulai trail....few rides to P.U.B. and Gunung Pulai-Kaizen Camp trail with Boboy and his merry men...hehe......a road ride (in the rain) to Puteri (Pearl) Harbour....and yeah....an extremely tiring ride from Bandar Putera, Kulai to Taman Sri Pulai...with lotsa climbing......dang!!!..hehehe
me attacking the trail......Adela Bike Hash 2010
Along, me and Cik Tahir - Adela Bike Hash 2010
Kota Tinggi trail ride with Cyclemotion
what a payback!nice dip at the cool stream after a long ride...pure bliss!
I guess you all should have figured that all those riding has made me a powerful rider.....nottt!!....haha...I wish lah...I'm still the ol' me, strangely...not getting any faster..or fitter....maybe I'm adapting the wrong method...(?)...Sham had told me recently that I need to practise my cadence more to gain more stamina and ultimately, increasing more speed...and so...I have been heeding his advice and puts it to practise during the past NR's...but to no avail....maybe I should use a different approach or method...hmmm....gotta figure that out soon...hehe...but I guess maybe it's because I usually tipu-ed a bit now and then by using the largest chain ring during flat roads to gain momentum...haha..
Kulai - Sri Pulai ride....fun...but torturing!
Skudai denai trail ride
Hiking up hill at the denai....
In these past few months also, I've made some new acquaintances too...from near and far....some from BBU, while others from Pontian, Perling, Kota Tinggi, Pasir Gudang and yeah...from across the Causeway too....well...you really meet all sorts of people in the trail...it's easy to clicks with new friends especially when you share the same interest...so to all my new friends....cheers!!...=)
Other than riding...there were also events that I went to that relates to biking such as the Mount Austin DH Challenge and then the LTDL (Pt Sulong stage)....went to the LTDL with Eddie, Kamal and few other guys...was fun except for the scorching hot sun....waited at Parit Sulong from 10am till 1pm just to watch the riders passing infront of you in a blink of an eye.....hehehe....
LTDL.....
I have no idea who's the bloke was...but heck?... who cares?
went to the DH Challenge with Anuar right after our riding stints at Gunung Pulai..imagine...from one side, we drove to the other end just to watch the finale....it was exciting...to see over 100 riders competing....also hundreds of spectators (chicks!), local or foreign all gather up to give support....how I envied those riders...having the balls to take up the punishing course.....me?...hahahaha...enuff said..=p
Mount Austin DH Challenge...two of the veteran riders...team Santa Cruz/Alpinestars and Specialized/ Monster
I've also added a few new stuffs in my arsenal...further burning holes in my wallet.....hehe....a brand new XTR bottom bracket to replace Anuar's worn out SLX BB....2 DX pedals (one flat PD-MX30 and one SPD-M647) to replace the super tough and dang heavy Xtension pedal....an expensive Shimano M182 SPD shoes, a few riding jerseys...a pair of TLD riding pants and a new riding shades....neccesity?...dunno...but i think it's all worth it...
Kangkar Pulai trail ride with Soleh and his gang
never knew the scenery was simply breathtaking up there...
There were also few embarrassing moments falling off my bike due to the SPD pedals...some even painful ones too...no pain no gain huh? =p
Presently, I do not have any specific plans for my future.....missed the Jasin Bike Jamboree due to some unplanned event....have to pass the first ever off road NR organised by Cyclemotion last Saturday because I've no confidence riding in the dark (read: chickennnnn) and perhaps..no idea whether I'll be able to take part in other future events...
why?....
with all these uncertainties....I just can't confirm on my availability when the time comes...perhaps..I could just wait and see....the fact is...I really would like to take part in the PCC....am dying to try out the PCP......would love to flow thru the single trails of the FRIM....and still couldn't get over the exciting Kiara trails.....sheeeshhhh!!!....am drooling already!...hahahaha
So as I put it.....I'll just have to wait and see...if the timing is right...then there should be nothing to hold me back.....
Till then...I'll settle with the regular weekend and NR's to fuel my needs.....=)
See you guys in the trail....ride on!
