A few of us started the ride from Sri Gombak Petronas at 7.36am rolling in to old Gombak road covering about 10km before meeting a few others at HOA. Ten of us rolled off, climbing towards Genting Sempah. However, a breakaway by a few friends split the group to two which ended me up chasing the front group in anaerobic tempo. 49 minutes…my fastest climb up GS so far. Deep inside told me that I'm going to suffer my cycle back.
We checked in at the usual breakfast inn for roti canai, nasi lemak, teh ais & mile ais. Nasib baik kali ni brader tu punya servis ada improvement sikit. My last ride here with PCC last year, roti canai was served after 20 minutes. Maybe sebab brader dah ada skill how to be ready for the hungry cyclists on weekends. On top of the typical Malaysian breakfast, ada pulak yang gatal bertanya kan buah-buahan tempatan. Despite having panas telinga listening to the brader's wife joking around in a laser-ly manner, we were finally served with a tray of fresh durians & manggis. All good, the table was filled with loud jokes & photographs were taken due to the rare ocassion...cycle & durian.
Having to cycle back with a belly stuffed with rare mixture for breakfast, the spirit to climb back up to Genting Sempah were dampened. Kayuh tetap kena kayuh, so we just rolled out of Kg Janda Baik, back to Genting Sempah...almost crying & back down to HOA & Sri Gombak.
Not forgetting to conclude the ride by Brahim who did a stunt when his rear wheel stuck in a drain grating just before getting into the carpark. Aiyo! Some scratches yang gerenti pedih & yang lebih pedih is noticing bar tape koyak + brake lever calar....aaargh!
Facts:
- Distance : About 80km (lepas Greenwood baru teringat nak on cyclo)
