Nite rides....is meant to be fun.....it's a great way to enjoy the company of few good friends with similar interest/craze after a long day at work...it's an escape from the everyday norm....and a great way to stay in shape.
Me...on weekly basis...I participated in 2 NR's....on Tuesday nights with the Tamago's.....and on Friday night's with Eky and some friends for the "infamous" CW nite rides...hehehe..
What's the difference with the two rides? well...all I could say is....the first is very fast paced...meant for stamina and endurance building while the other is purely for fun, leisure and "makan-makan" purpose....the one I enjoyed most?....well....I have to say the second one....why?
To me....the Tamago's NR is lacking in the enjoying part...well for me and some of the slow pokes....for example...yesterday's NR...with the new route, meaning no RTM climbing...no passing Jln Abdul Rahman Andak, no riding across town passing the Kotaraya....instead, riding flat from RTM till the Mahmoodiah hill climb....then cruizing Jalan Ayer Molek before briefly entering town area and the usual Lido stretch and then the long uphill climb at Jalan Tampoi before reaching Larkin...to me....there's no fun to it when everybody's started racing from start to finish....they were riding really fast, be it for those riding roadie or MTB....leaving us slow guys behind....well maybe it's good for pace, stamina and endurance building for these racer guys...but what about the rest?...with the current ~no Danga rest stop policy~.....it's just another Impian Emas ride for me....in a grander scale lah....
This definitely beats the purpose for NR....I dunno, but I guess this is fun for them....completely not my cup of tea...but I'll still join in the ride...just for the sake of enjoying meeting and riding with fellow rider's...fun? fun is in the CW NR....hehehe
There will be another ride organize this Friday night....the last before Ramadhan...not to say that we'll have to stop all riding activities for the whole month....there will be NR's as usual, only starts and ends a bit late lah...but this Friday's is the last for the normal months...starts at 9pm...RV point will be at the usual mamak joint in BBU...join us if you're free...we won't ride fast....we won't bite either....we'll save that for those delicious Stulang chicken wings....yum..yum...=)
Well, you're lucky to have 2 NRs. Both are just as important, mind you. Takde lah tertinggal mencungap masa offroad.
ReplyDeleteErr... kan? Kan?
owh sempatkah aku untuk berada di RV point Jumaat ini?
insyaAllah, insyaAllah.
true...but a few minutes rest at Danga would be more ideal....to catch up breath and for the slower guys to catch up....hehehe
