Post Sahara

A week after the gruelling Sahara ride, some of us looked forward to go back to the normal routine of hitting the tarmac. Eventually the same corum rolled in at my place & we took the Semenyih loop. A breakfast stop at Tekala & we continued up Bukit Sg Tekali. A second breakfast of mee jawa at Batu 14 before rolling back in covering 62km in 2 hours 36 minutes.

Some theories or presumptions were made during this post Sahara ride. I have no idea whether it's true or vise versa but just for the sake of recording it for future analysis:

1. Us cyclist involve in mountainbiking & roadcycling need to balance the time spent between these two types.
2. Roadcycling rewards oneself with extra endurance or fortitude.
3. Mountainbiking in the other hand could tutor a cyclist with the sudden boost climb or sustaining a long granny.
4. Roadcycling provide muscle strength through thousands of cadence especially the lower body.
5. Mountainbiking though helps to build the extra upper body muscles through handlebar controlling on technical climbs & definitely the bike hiking commotion. Best example was this morning's Bukit Sg Tekali 2km climb in a less suffering moment.
