Weekend in Langat

Doing Langat for both Saturday & Sunday was something. It is a great route for my backyard playground indeed. The best part was, I don't need to drive to enjoy the pleasure of thousands of rpm.

Saturday was more of accompanying a fellow beginner for his introductory road ride. He just bought a bike & was looking forward to add some stamina through cycling. With a bit of knowledge & experience, Saiful & me tried our best to share what we have. Both of us cycled from my place to meet waklah at Batu 14.

His first lesson was to check the tyre pressure. 15 minutes pumping in the high pressure stretching my bicep & tricep. Off we went heading towards Batu 18. Along the way, cyclo meter was not functioning, the wheel sensor was off-position. Need to tie a few new cable-tie later. Lucky for waklah, saiful managed to notice that his quickreleases were loose. Never start a cycle without checking those stuff unless you want to taste the beauty of tarmac.

We reached Batu 18 & waklah decided to adjust his seatpost height. We pedalled all the way to Peres Junction & met up with Sharom our powerman athlete and Adib from wayride. We were brought upon with a good news when Sharom told that the duathlon series will be back. That's great.

Off we went back to Batu 18 for roti canai before trashing through the busy Saturday morning traffic from Batu 14 back to Batu 9.

Sunday, Azahari, Saiful & me did the Semenyih loop, also known as the "1-Lap" as named by a few. Totalling at 75km, we managed to clock at 2:59:33 averaging 25km/hr. The route was great, accompanied by a beautiful weather considering a long evening shower the day before. A good combination of short hill bursts, long climbs, endless flat road & low traffic volume at certain stretches.

It has been a great & ass-hauling rides since we started Bentung, Bagan Lalang & Kuala Klawang for the past few weeks. I think it's about time we give a light spin & some quality time with our love ones before repeating again for the upcoming duahtlon series.
