1-January 2008 : Kuala Klawang, revisit

I think yesterday & today time flew in a glimpse of an eye. After a tiring journey to Kedah during the weekend & an exhausting & boring day at work on Monday, the new year eve passed by almost unnoticed. I was stucked in front of Channel tv9 watching Starship Troopers with Amir & Umar sleeping at my side. The struck of midnight was nothing much to be excited about considering it was just another chapter of "spoil the social life for the people" in KL.

Though the next morning was going to be a tough ride, I was not cautious enough with the physically preparations. The weekend drive drained most of it. So, my new year ride to Kuala Klawang and back was done in a moderate pace.

Five of us started off from Batu 18 targeting to push our limits. It was a 2nd time for Awe & me while the rest were nervously expecting the torment with cool looks. The ride went out well without a hickup. All of us survived the trip to & fro, especially the big 13km climb back greeted by Barisan Nasional majestic signboard at the peak. The climb back was not left without a few moments of laughter. Axy & me were snooping up on each other as we unofficially raced up. While Syam was caught surprised by two dogs at the steepest climb & yet he was on his two feet due to cramps.

Ride facts:

• Distance : 106km
• Ride time : 4:45:44
