Cycling Malaysia

An eventful weekend that was. Started with my came back with confidence from 3 weeks flu. The last CNY KLIA ride was tremendously awful. On Saturday, I decided to give it a shot upon confirmation from geng Puchong that they are doing a 50km 2 hours ride. Cool.

Alhamdullillah, it all went well. Heart rate was ok most of the time, though recovery time requires a bit more improvement. Six of us attempted the Puchong - Pulau Meranti - Cyberjaya - Putrajaya route with a few sprint zones, short bursts & definitely one long straight climb before heading back. It felt good, for a come back ride.

Facts:

• Ride distance : 56km
• Ride time : 2 hrs 13 min
  Average : 25km/hr
• Max flat : 40km/hr
  Weather : Just nice

Sunday was different. My early morning event was dramatically an embarrassing one when Arsenal was hammered 4-0 by Manchester United in FA Cup. That one an a half our till 3.30 a.m. was a long morning. No morning run for me. Slack.

The le tour de Langkawi ended their edition in KL. Took the opportunity to be there with fellow cycling lovers...yep, met old & new friends. This 13th edition of ltdl was something to be remembered about when our local racers made us proud. Anuar Manan, the name that bloomed in almost all the stages from Kedah to Kuantan. Tried not to miss all the stages. It was awesome. A race that I think a prestigious one. A world class race with world class riders, wonderful landscape, unique atmosphere & challenging terrains.
